November 10th Swim Meet Results

I received a very detailed report about the meet from Coach Starr. It was such a great account I felt like I was there! I loved hearing about the swimmers persevering through the tough moments and coming out on the other side stronger. I am looking forward to encouraging our swimmers, handing out ribbons and event cards, and getting back to work tomorrow!

Thank You

November 3rd Swim Meet Results

I am so proud of each and every swimmer at the meet today. Everyone tried their best, encouraged their teammates, and was a great example of Christ.

Thank You

Thank you to everyone who volunteered at the meet! I know the head coach at St. Rose was very appreciative. It's our turn to host in 2 weeks. Please be considering if you can help and what you'd like to help with.

Results

Here are the meet results. Meet #1 Results
I had so much fun looking through them! Our swimmers did so well today! Of the 17 swimmers that swam today, 9 were returning swimmers. Our 9 returners racked up 17 personal best times (PRs) and earned several first in their heat ribbons. Our 8 new swimmers also took home a few first in their heat ribbons and set great first times. I will be handing out ribbons from the meet this week.

Swim Meet Info - For All Meets

When we get there

I would like all swimmers to be at the pools 20 minutes early. Please do not be there earlier than 30 minutes before the start of the meet. Our CYO director says that can cause scheduling confusion at the pools. 

When you get to the pool, you should be able to go in and use the locker rooms to have your swimmer get dressed and go to the bathroom. 

I would like for all swimmers to be in their suits with swim cap on and goggles and swim bag in hand 10 minutes before the start of the meet. We will congregate in the stands with swimmers and parents. Soon after that, we will pray and the swimmers and coaches will head out for the warm-up which will begin promptly at the time the meet was scheduled to begin. 

Swim Bag

-one or two towels

-sweats or bathrobe to go over swimsuit while they are not swimming

-goggles

-competition suit

-WHCS swim cap (handed out at practice November 1st)

-1 or 2 snacks (no glass)

-water bottle (no glass)

-No Technology

Meet Program

I will post the meet program in the blog post that I will send out before each swim meet. Feel free to print it off and bring this with you so you can follow along during the meet. The swim meet is a rolling schedule which means that we begin with the first event on the program and just roll through to the end. There is no specific time an event will be held. 

During the meet

Our awesome assistant coaches, Karen Johnson and Jana Starr, will be with the swimmers and myself in the team area. We will be keeping an eye on the swimmers while they're not swimming an event, encouraging them to cheer for one another, and making sure they are ready for their events when they are called.

Volunteers 

I will always be looking for 1 parent to be the photographer. We have been asked to have all the parents stay in the stands, but I know we would all love some great action shots of the swimmers. We are allowed a "photographer" per team. Please let me know if you are interested. It can be a different person each meet or if you want to do multiple meets, that's great too! 

After events are done

I would love to encourage you all to stay for the whole meet so we can all cheer for the swimmers swimming at the end of the meet. However, if you have something that can't be rescheduled, I understand if you need to leave after your swimmer has swum their events. If you could come over to the team area to get them and make sure they check out with myself or with one of the assistants, that would be great! Thank you!
