Congrats to everyone on a great practice meet. We saw so many exciting things! We saw best times, first ever swims, first time doing 50's, first time doing relays, everyone having FUN and a TON of broken records! 

We were so proud of everyone that participated! A huge thank you to all our volunteers that stepped up and helped out from set up to break down and everything in between. There were a few hiccups, but that's why we run a practice meet early in the season!

A few things to remember...

- Swimmers need to stay in their team areas for the entire meet! Parents need to stay out of the team areas and timing areas unless they are volunteering.

- Swimmers need to stay in the water until all swimmers in their heat have finished!

- Swimmers need to ask their time from the timers and talk to the coaches after every swim! 

- Parents, please have your swimmer's events listed on their arm prior to arriving at the pool if possible. If not, as soon as they arrive, they need to ask a team parent to help them! Check out this post on our Facebook page for guidance.

- Parents should not allow their swimmers to leave their team areas until ALL their events have been completed. Swimmers are not to swim in the Family Pool until after they have completed ALL of their events. We had to scramble to replace two missing swimmers for our relays at the practice meet. In a real meet they will start the event and those two relays would not be able to swim! That's six kids that would not be able to swim their last event.

Broken Records:

6 & Unders - Kate Schweitzer (25 Back) 

7-8's - Brooks Birch (25 Free, 25 Back, 25 Breast, 25 Fly)

9-10's - Leo Schweitzer (25 Free, 25 Back, 25 Fly) & Miles Birch (25 Breast)

10 & Under Free Relay (Miles Birch, Brooks Birch, Harper Hunt, Leo Schweitzer)
