A MEET REMINDER:
Please sign out if your child will not be at the A Meet this Saturday, June 29th!!!  We had a few "no shows" at the B Meet.  A couple of swimmers were entered who were "no swims" or simply did not show up. 
We will have relays at the A Meet, so it's extremely important to see if your child has been entered into a relay before you leave!!  If you have to leave for some reason at the meet, please make sure you let a coach know so we can find a replacement (if possible) for that relay.
I can't stress enough how important it is for you to be there for all races entered!!!  Our team depends on each and every one of you! 
A Meet tshirts will be available for pick-up at the meet.  If we are lucky, we may have them ready for pick-up on Friday morning during practice.
Volunteers:
Be sure to respond to Kevin's emails.  He is working diligently to fill these spots.  Thank you Kevin for all your hard work!  It has certainly paid off this summer. 
Theme:
Swim Dynasty - get your camo and beards ready!!!
