Good evening!

Tomorrow is the Mock Meet! We are so excited! Here are a few logistics you should know:

 - All Swimmers should try to arrive by 5p. (We know this is tight for middle school, and we understand!) We are hoping to start the meet at 5:30p.

 - There will be coaches and helpers to assist with "sharpies". This is where you write your event number, heat number, and lane number. It will be a little chaotic since it is the first meet, but remember this is just a practice so they feel prepared! 

 - Volunteers should arrive by 5p, but earlier if you can to come help set up/organize the swimmers!

 - Mr. Announcer, Mr. Luke, will be directing all the events, so be sure your swimmer knows to listen to the announcements!

 - We will not have concessions, but we will have popsicles for all the talented Sharks participating! Pack some drinks and snacks, just make sure you do NOT bring GLASS!

 - Attached is the heat sheet. Make sure you look for your swimmer in all events. (I am the queen of the "control-F" function when I read a heat sheet!) Every swimmer except the shrimps are entered in every stroke. This is to see what they are able to swim, but NO ONE should feel pressure or stress! If your swimmer is not comfortable in a stroke, tell them to try their best! This is just a practice to see what they *can* do! No pressure to beat Michael Phelps! And if they truly can't or don't want to, no pressure! But we encourage everyone to TRY!

 - HAVE FUN! Swim meets are fun!! Cheer on your friends and celebrate everyone!! And enjoy your popsicle between events!! Hang out with your neighbors and make new friends!! This is a low stress, fun Friday night!!

Thank you for ALL for all your work and help getting to this exciting day! We cannot wait to celebrate all our Sharks can do!!
