Saturday Recap and Week of 1 July Information

I want to first and foremost congratulate our entire team for a very strong effort on Saturday on a hot morning at West Hillandale.  The times for our team and the results will be posted at the pool tomorrow morning. Let's remember how hot it can get in the sun during the meet at this pool as West Hillandale will host the Divisional championship meet on 20 July.  Lots of shade and plenty of drinks will be needed that day.

This coming week is a chance for all of us to catch our collective breath.  We have made it to the mid point of the season but the best is definitely yet to come. 

Practices will be held in the morning and afternoon on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  In addition, we will have practice on Thursday morning but no practice in the afternoon due to July 4th festivities.  Coach Eric and I will talk about what practice, if any, will be held on Friday.  PLEASE PLAN ON COMING TO PRACTICE EVEN IN THE RAIN, WHICH IS PREDICTED ALL WEEK.  WE WILL PRACTICE IN THE RAIN AS LONG THERE IS NO LIGHTNING.  I know this may seem a bit harsh but the kids really do have a good time. 

The Pep Rally theme this week will be Knights and Princesses.  Among the festivities will be decorating shields and pennants so be on the lookout for information during this week.  We will have live jousting on Friday afternoon with ponies for kids 12 and under (JUST KIDDING!)  Dinner this week will be potluck so we'll need some new volunteers to cook and serve and I'll bring a cask of mead with tankards to drink from for the adults (AGAIN, JUST KIDDING!)

Saturday, 6 July will be our last home dual meet of the season. We will celebrate our graduating Seniors at half time so you parents out there dig up some really awesome pictures when your Tigers were little cubs and write up what you want to tell everyone about your high schooler!  I need all the swimmers at the pool no later than 745a on Saturday.  Please make sure to sign up for concessions and some of the other home meet jobs on SignUpGenius.  If you have a tent we can use this weekend, I would very much appreciate being able to borrow it.

Sunday Sunday Sunday 7 July WWP will host the Division N Relay Carnival.  I need at least three (3) volunteers starting at 7am to manage parking for this meet.  In addition, the needs of our team for volunteers within the meet is a little bit less than a dual meet so I would ask several of you to make sure and work with Maureen Blassou regarding concessions for that day.  Lastly, we will run a 50/50 that day which we hope will yield some extra funds for the team.  I need 2 volunteers for that function as well.
