Monday Morning Round Up

July 15th

Hello Hammerheads,

I apologize in advance for all the emails (and changes). Please read through this carefully and make sure to take action on all the items as needed.

Wednesday Night Meet (July 17)

We will do our best to get as much of our meet in as we can on Wednesday night. Please come prepared and understand we may have some weather delays.
We still need two volunteer positions filled - Heat Winner Ribbon and Runner, both second half. If you are not volunteering or if you are able to fill either of these positions, please sign up.

No Thursday Fun Day (July 18)

With the changes in our meet schedule and with Spirit Week next week, we will have regular practice on Thursday morning. NO FUN DAY this week.

Thursday Meet (July 18)

PLEASE DECLARE YOUR SWIMMER(s) AND SIGN UP FOR A VOLUNTEER POSITION (or two) now.
If we do not finish our meet on Wednesday, we will hold a second meet on Thursday evening with FSBC. This will take all hands on deck and is not something that we have done in the past. We have a lot of swimmers who need times from this meet (and FSBC has even more who need times), so we are doing our best to get this meet completed.

We MUST fill our volunteer positions for Champs or else we will be penalized. Please consider signing up... but please also understand that you MUST show up for your position. We have several parents who are volunteering for key positions for the entire Champs already (thank you!!), but we still need more.

Sponsors

Please check out the small businesses who are supporting our team and your swimmers this summer. Show your appreciation by thanking them and patronizing their businesses when you can.

Let me know if you have any questions. We are in the home stretch, which is always exciting and a little hectic. Go Hammerheads!

Warmly,

Skye
