We have been so blessed this year to have four home meets! It means a little extra work, but since concessions is a massive fundraiser for us, it also means that we can make up a little of the extra money we've had to spend this year on some new equipment and repairs! Plus, I always feel like it's more fun to be on the home turf - er, surf! Don't forget to come hungry and enjoy supper at the meet while supporting the team at the same time!

Every year we ask that swimmers donate drinks for the concessions stand. Below is a breakout of donations for each age group. You can drop these off at the back door of the clubhouse next time you're at practice. Our first home meet is next Wednesday, so please deliver them by Tuesday in case we need to fill in any gaps.

• 6 & under - 12 pack of Coke
• 7/8 - 12 pack of Sprite or Pibb
• 9/10 - 12 pack Coke Zero
• 11/12 - 6 pack (or more) of 20 oz. Gatorade (any flavor)
• 13/18 - 6 pack (or more) of 20 oz. Gatorade (any flavor)

If you haven't already, don’t forget to go to the meet schedule page and tell us whether your swimmer is available and pick your favorite volunteer position before someone else snaps it up! We’ll be meeting to fill missing spots on Tuesday afternoon, so be sure to pick what job you want before then!

One note on the little guys - if your swimmer isn’t quite ready for competition yet on a particular stroke, we won’t put them those races. We don’t want them to be unprepared - their first meet should be a great experience! If they are not quite ready for competition, please feel free to bring them and let them sit with their teammates so they can see how it all works!

Don't forget we DO have practice on Monday, Memorial Day morning. Since our meet is on Wednesday this week, we'll move our off day to Thursday. We'll have practice on Wednesday morning using the Thursday schedule.

Year round swimmers, please do your best to practice with us on meet days so we can run through the meet.

Go Seahorses!
