MINI MEET for 10 year old swimmers and Younger
Sunday, July 12, 2015
there is a mini meet at Smallwood Village Pool in Waldorf. It's a very nice mini meet. The swimmers swim against swimmers in their own age group. Warm ups are at 7:30 am. It's a fun meet with ribbons for all.
We need entries and money from people going to the meet by July 6th. Swimmers can chose up to 4 events.
Parents bringing swimmers- we will need 2 people to help with the ribbons and 2 parents to time.

Awesome meet this past weekend!
We need some help next week with the 8 and under relay teams at the end of the meet. Your duty is easy, Hannah and I can explain what needs to be done. Basically, we need 2 parents with each relay team. Your job is to keep the kids in the correct lane and tell them when to get into the water. Hannah and I are not supposed to be on deck with the relay teams. You can not coach the kids in any manner. We will need 6 parents.
Practice this week is from 7 pm- 8:30 pm.
There is a Cub Scout day camp this week at KL so our practice was moved.
NO PRACTICE ON FRIDAY
We travel to Greenbelt this coming Saturday. Swimmers must be at the pool by 7:30 am
Go to PMSL webpage and you will see a tab on the side for directions to all pools. Please let me know ASAP if your swimmer(s) will miss this meet.

TEAM T-shirt TIME! Let the other teams know who we are!
Thanks to everyone who helped last night at time trials. Typical June weather for us in the evening unfortunately.

TEAM T-shirt TIME! Let the other teams know who we are!
Greetings all. Please find the link below for ordering Tee Shirts.
Shirt choices include adult and children sizes. Material is the same as last year, fast drying light weight. The most negative feedback I received is that the ladies felt the white shirts were a little to see-through, so I've given the option of the white shirts again, but also kelly green and purple. You will pay directly online, so I do not need to collect money this year. I will deliver shirts once they are in. I can't promise that we will have them before the first meet. The deadline for ordering, is Friday, June 19. This is a strict deadline, so please get your orders in ASAP. I may or may not order extras, I have not decided yet.the link to order is

The rest of the week looks great. Each day is supposed to be sunny and warm- to very warm.

Volunteer opportunities-
2 parents for Clerk of Course - we set up benches under the large green canopy. Swimmers report to the area and you place them in their heat and lane.
Timers - good spot to see all events
Sweep judges
runner- picks up sheets from timers
Set up - this will happen Friday evening at 7pm on Friday June 19 - The more people we have, the faster we finish. We need people to help move all the chairs on the deck.
June 20- Please notify me now if your swimmer will not be at the meet June 20. This is our first meet of the season and it takes me several hours to set up the line up for the first meet.
I have to have the line up completed by Wednesday evening , June 17. Our line up has to be submitted on Thursday June 18. Please send me an email, don't tell me at practice. I'll never remember!
We are off to a great start Hannah and I are very impressed with the talent each swimmer demonstrates at practice.
