All spots remaining are for Deck Marshall. It’s an easy job. I will give you a fancy construction worker vest that says “Deck Marshall” and you can tell kids to “move along and stop clogging up the deck”. You will also probably get to tell the multitude of 5Parks Junior Coaches that “no. you can’t have 8 people behind the blocks to pump up your 9 year-old swimmer.” There is a special joy in that! You will have plenty of time to watch your kid swim, so please consider helping.
Practice and Warm Up Updates
As we reach our league meet and make our way into state, here are few updates:
Practice:
- League 400 swimmers: Warm up and pacing practice tomorrow any time between 6:30 and 8 am. We will have a dedicated lane to warm up.
- Other League swimmers: Regular Practice at 6:30 and 8. We will be done early for both practice sessions so swimmers can rest before their races.
- Practice next week is for state qualifiers. Upper division will be from 7-8am and all lower division will be from 8-9am. We will start collecting state entries tomorrow (Friday 7/12). Swimmers can qualify for state at league.
Warm Up:
- League 400 warm up on Friday is open at 5:15. There are no designated lanes, it is first come first serve for 45 minutes.
- On Saturday and Sunday of League Upper Division will warm up at the Green Mountain Pool from 6-6:20. Lower division will warm up at Splash from 6:15-6:30. This will ensure that we have enough space to warm up instead of condensing 84 swimmers into three lanes. Upper division swimmers will carpool to Splash at the end of warm up and have the opportunity to do starts from 6:45-6:55.
Practice Updates
Due to the turn out at our 9-10 am practice we will be swimming only two practice sessions for the rest of this week: upper division 6:30-8 and lower division 8-9.
Also, night practice will continue on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for upper division this week. There will be no night practice next week for state.
League Entries
Entries are posted on the sidebar. Please take a look at your swimmer’s individual entries to make sure they are correct. If not you can call or text Ethan at 7203354894.
Something different this meet, you may see your swimmers relay entries say “(Alternate)” next to them. That means your swimmer is not in that relay, but we put them in the system to be swapped into that relay as needed. We can usually do this without issue at a dual meet, but there are stricter rules at this meet. If you have questions please let Ethan know.
