Fun Friday. This is where the kids will all come and have doughnuts, receive their ribbons from the night before and FREE swim with their team. Also during this time we will hand out the awards to the "Hammerhead of the week" This award is given to one boy and one girl who stood out during practice and the meet.

 

Meets:

 

Home meets: you need to be at the pool by 4:00. All the swimmers will have a chance to have a 15 minutes warm-up. We warm up first.

Away meets: you need to be at their pool by 4:30. All the swimmers will have a chance to have a 15 minute warm-up. We warm up last.

When arriving to a home or away meet please go straight to your bull pen and check in with your bull pen parent.

 

Can't Make the meet: If your child will not be at a meet you MUST let coach Jessica know no later than Tuesday of that week. There are 2 ways to inform her: Text message Jessica (770)855-6902 or you can email Jessica at [email protected]. Please do not try to tell her during practice or in passing. If your child gets sick the day of the meet CALL Jessica as soon as possible.

 

What should you bring to the meet: it is suggested that you bring 2 towels for your child. One to sit on and one to dry off with. Come wearing your team suit and team t-shirt. Goggles and Swim cap if your child uses these. Some people choose to bring cards, small games, etc to keep their children entertained while they are waiting for their event. All meets will sell food; you will need cash. You also might want to bring a chair to sit in for yourself.

 

Bullpen: ALL SWIMMERS under the age of 12 are to stay in the bullpen at ALL times. There will be parents who are there to monitor, but your child needs to understand this rule as well. This helps ensure that swimmers don't miss their event. For no reason should swimmers be behind the starting blocks.

 

Volunteers: All parents are required to work 1/2 of the meet. Betsi will have this information. She will let you will know your assigned area and time that you are working. You are to arrive at your position 5 minutes prior to the switch.

 

Swimmers: All swimmers must be able to swim the length of the pool by the mock meet. Grabbing the lane line to take a break or catch their breath is acceptable, but no coaches will be able to get in the water to support the swimmer.

 

Registration: All swimmers MUST be registered and paid by Friday the 27th or the coaches will not be able to add them into the system to assign them events for the upcoming meet.

 

Home meets: It is asked that you stay and help put the pool back together once the meet finishes. The more people that stay to help the sooner it gets done.

 

Team Pictures/Mock Meet.: The team pictures will be held Tuesday, May 31st before the Mock Meet. All swimmers will need to arrive at 3:00. We will wear our team shirts for the picture since not everyone will have their suit by then. Individual pictures will be taken for those who wish and a team picture will also be taken. If you want to purchase these pictures you will need to bring check or credit card on Tuesday. Once pictures are done we will run the Mock meet.

 

Swim Suits: Team suits can be purchased at Dynamo (the one right around the corner). It will be under the name Hillbrooke. They will take up to 2 weeks to come in because they are monogrammed with the name Hillbrooke on the front. You might want to check the hours that the shop is open before going.
