All -
Just a few reminders for the upcoming meet this weekend:
Warm up times for Saturday and Sunday
10 an under boys and girls - Warm ups begin at 7:30 (your swimmer should be there and ready to get in the pool at 7:30)
11and over boys and girls - Warm ups begin at 12:00pm (your swimmer should be there and ready to get in the pool at 12:00)
We are in need of 6 - 8 coolers for water/gatorade. If you have a cooler you can lend for the weekend, please bring to a marlins/dolphins/sharks practice Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday Please put your name on it so we may return it to you. If you can not get it to a practice, please bring it Friday night
If you have an Entertainment book, we'd appreciate the coupons for Consumers ice in the event we need more throughout the meet.
If anyone does not plan on using the Pepsi coupon on the 2nd page of the Tops add this week may you please bring it to practice tonight and give
it to Monica Benz (at Cheektowaga) or Donna Wilkie (at Depew)?
New swimmers
For those swimmers that are swimming a meet for the first time, here are some reminders (and for parents as well)
* you will be sitting in the gym in between your events. Please bring a blanket or chair to sit on
* bring at least 2 - 3 towels - your towels will get wet from warm up and after your events.
* a pair of sweatpants/jammie pants/hoodie or bathrobe to wear in between your events - the gym is a lot colder than the pool deck
* something to do - DS, PSP, IPODS, mp3 players, books, cards - something quiet as you will have time in between your events. NO BALLS ARE ALLOWED IN THE GYM.
* Healthy snacks- water/gatorade/power aid (be careful gatorade has more sugar than power aid), fresh fruit, cucumbers, carrots, celery, granola bars, pretzels, crackers (just be careful of salt intake)
* Stingrays swim caps will be available for sale from Antoinette Albrecht for swimmers that need a cap for the meet.
Just a reminder for all swimmers - we will be doing several relays this weekend as we have a wonderful turnout for our club. Some relays will not be listed in the programs as the coaches will be deciding who swims them during each session. If your child is done swimming their individual events, please make sure that they check with their coach that it is ok to leave for the day. As a reminder to parents, we do not charge you for swimming a relay at our 2 meets (March and July). If you paid for a relay when you submitted your meet sheet you will be reimbursed.
