Dave's Notes
Swim meet this weekend
We are hosting a BC meet this weekend at Granite Hills HS. We have most of the jobs filled, but we still need a few volunteers to step forward and fill the remaining spots. Please step forward and volunteer.
The competition portion of the meet is about 4 hours on Saturday and about 2.5 on sunday.
Swimmers should plan on being on deck at 7:20 both days.
Officials needed
One of the biggest jobs we continue to need is having officials. I just recieved information saying the meet is in danger of being cancelled this weekend if enough officials do not step forward. This would be a tragedy for the kids. Currently our team only has 3 certified officials, however 2 of those officials have swimmers that are no longer swimming, so we really need more. Volunteering to train to be an official would not help this weekend, but could help a lot in the future.
If you are interested in learning more about the rules of swimming, being able to be front and center, being a great fan of swimming, and being part of a great group of volunteers, please let me know you are interested. Your learning begins with just being a "shadow" of another official at a meet. Contact me for more info. castcoachdave@gmail.com
July summer league meets
I have posted the two summer league meets on our events page. They will be July 7th and 19th at Granite hills. 345-5:30. These are not official meets, but practice meets for fun and learning. Who can/should attend? ALL NOVICE SWIMMERS, AS WELL AS ANY AG SWIMMERS WHO joined for the summer program, AND any AG swimers who have primarily C times. If you're not sure - just ask.
These meets are free, do not require pre entering events, but we do want you to sign up by confirming you will attend. Please sign up at least one day before the competition.
Since there are no Pre-entries, swimmers will be called to a staging area prior to events and then will be escorted to their lanes to compete. since there are no DQ's swimmers are encouraged to try as many events as they feel comfortable with. All events are 25's or 50's.
More info as we get closer.
July Practice Calendar
I'm currently working on finalizing the July calendar. With the meet this weekend, I may not be able to finish it prior to some time next Monday. Keep your eyes open for the calendar. You can plan on it remaining almost identical to the current schedule.
Thanks
