Details:
-Dual Meet @ Wheatridge: Warm up @ 6:30am / start @ 7:00am. They have a big, beautiful pool and it is estimated that we will be done by 10:30am. sign up to volunteer here
– C/D Meet @ Golden: warm up and start time TBD (usually around 7am) This is an optional meet for all swimmers that have C or D times. You can check the Top Times report (on the side bar) to see if your swimmer qualifies. This is a super fun meet for all the swimmers that are a little slower and want to swim against kids at a similar level. Please sign up directly with the coaches. We will need timers for the meet, but they generally just ask people to step up once you get there.
– Pentathlon @ Applewood Athletic Club: warm up @ 6:20am / start @ 7am. This is another optional meet that requires your swimmer to have a B time or better in 4 of the 5 disciplines at the event. Each swimmer will swim all 5 events (free, breast, back, fly and IM). Please sign up directly with the coaches. Again, we will need timers. click here to volunteer
– Intrasquad 3: warm up @ 4:30pm / start @ 5:00pm. This is our last Intrasquad and we like to have a parents and coaches relay at the end of the meet. We need 4 to 8 parents that are willing to swim a 50 freestyle to be on a relay team. Our parents beat the coaches last year, so we are excited to see what happens this year. Please email gmstgators@gmail.com (or talk to Danielle) if you are in! sing up here to volunteer for the meet
– Team Pictures / Pancakes / Water World Day: We will not have practice on this day. Swimmers can start arriving at 7:30am. We will have individual pictures (if you want them) and one large team picture taken. Please wear your team suit if you have one. – After the pictures, we will serve Gator pancakes (green of course). Sign up here to help with the breakfast. After breakfast, we will have an optional fun day at Water World. Discount tickets can be found here. More details to follow, but the general idea is that we will stake out some picnic tables so everyone is in the same area. You will need to provide transportation, food and general oversight of the kids that you bring. This is an informal event where the kids do what they want at the park, but run into each other all day long.
