No upper division night practice tonight (8-9). It’s been a long week, get some rest.

See you in the morning,

Porter

Congratulations to those swimmers who have qualified for League!  Now it is time for our coaches to do entries for this meet.  Since this meet is for swimmers with qualifying times we need to get verification that your swimmer will be able to participate in this meet (July 22nd for 400 swimmers and July 23rd-July 24th for all other events).  You must email gmstgators@aol.com to confirm your swimmer will be able to attend the meet or talk with Coach Porter by Sunday 7/17 at 5pm.  If swimmers are qualified in more than 3 individual events you must specify in your confirmation email or discuss with Porter what events you want to swim (or the coaches will place you in the events they want you to swim).

Instructions for swimmers/parents:

1. Please check to see if your name is on this list
2. If your name is on this list send an email to gmstgators@aol.com or talk with Coach Porter to let them know if you can swim at this meet
3. If you are qualified in more than 3 individual events please pick the ones you want to swim

On Sunday our swim team will host the Last Chance meet.  The Last Chance meet means just what its name says….this is the swimmers last chance to get qualified for League.  If a swimmer is within a few seconds of qualifying for League and they want to try to get qualified they can swim in this meet.  If swimmers want to swim in this meet you must email gmstgators@aol.com by 3pm on Saturday afternoon.  Please include the event they want to swim in.

Can you believe that Saturday is our last regular summer swim meet?  What happened to the summer?  It is amazing to see how the swimmer have developed and improved in their skills.  We are excited to have their kids bring their “A” game to the meet on Saturday and finish the season strong.

Due to the size of the team we are swimming against we are only sending a maximum of 2 relays per age group.  We wanted to let everyone know this so you understood if your swimmer wasn’t on both relays.  We are going to try our best to let all swimmers that are able to swim in one of the relays for their age group.

We will have all the individual and relay entries posted tomorrow morning.
See you all Saturday!  Go Gators!

I have a feeling tomorrow night is going to be a great night.  The pool will have food and entertainment!  What else can you ask for?  The only other thing we need is to make sure you volunteer so we can have a meet.  Please sign-up if you haven’t already done so. 

There will be hamburger and hot dog meal available for purchase tomorrow as well as additional items from the snack shack.  All you need to do is show up (with money).

The free entertainment will come after all our kids swim.  Please make sure you stay around and watch the coaches relay (and the parents relay).  Yes parents I mentioned your relay again.  This is just to make sure you don’t forget your swimming suit or something important.  I have heard that we have had parents “practicing” at the night practice so it sounds like you are ready.

See you all tomorrow night. 

I just wanted to send a thank you message to all the parents who volunteered at the meet on Saturday.  It was a long and HOT day.  We had parents volunteer for all three shifts, we had parents volunteer for a shift and stay until the end of the meet and we had parents volunteer who didn’t even have a swimmer.  You are all amazing and we appreciate your help.  Thank you for all the support you give to the Gators!  It takes each and every family to makes these meets successful for our swimmers.
