Sunday team email: Week of May 14th. Please read!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Fighting Turtles moms!
We are a couple of days away from our Mock Meet and here is what you need to know:
|
The mock meet is a great way for new families and swimmers to become familiar with the flow of a meet. It also allows all swimmers to establish times for events. This may be the first swim meet for some of our athletes. Please encourage your swimmers to try their very best, have fun, and not to be discouraged by mistakes. Disqualifications are not counted in this first meet. |
Mock Meet will be held Wednesday, May 17th at the King & the Bear. The mock meet will take place over our regular Wednesday practice.
Warm ups start at 4:30 pm, so please arrive at 4:15 pm to check in and get set up.
Meet starts at 5:00 pm.
Please check swimmers in as soon as you enter the gate. Volunteers should also check in upon arrival.
********Please write your child's last name, first initial and event numbers on their left shoulder with a black sharpie.
All swimmers should wear caps during the meet. Remember your goggles.
There will be food trucks...please bring cash. You are welcome to bring your own coolers, snacks, chairs, and tents.
The mock meet should end around 7:00 pm.
Details including items such as parking and heat sheets will be emailed the day before the meet.
Volunteers should be receiving an email prior to the meet reminding you of your volunteer duty. Please welcome Emma Cooksey as our Volunteer Coordinator. We are very excited and thankful for Emma and her time. Should you have any questions regarding volunteering please see Emma on the pool deck.
Team shirts & caps will be distributed at Monday’s practice or at the mock meet. If you have not received your team suit and you ordered by the first deadline, we expect them to arrive this week.

As our meets begin, you will need to be sure that you RSVP your swimmers for each meet. RSVPs are due by Fridays for the following week’s meets. So, for the May 27th meet at St Johns Golf & Country, we must have your RSVP by Friday, May 19th. This makes planning meet entries go much more smoothly for coaches and computer operators. We cannot enter a swimmer into a relay if he or she has not RSVP’d. Our practice schedule is listed on our website and this week is as followed: Monday 5/15, & Thursday 5/18 @ King & Bear pool- MOCK MEET Wednesday, 5/17 6 & under 4:00-4:45 pm 7-8 age group 4:45-5:45 pm 9 & up 5:45-7:00 pm A special thank you to Melissa Loeffelholz for her time and efforts with acquiring our team sponsors.
