Lightning Families,
The RSL Divisional Finals will be held August 1 at the new King George YMCA. We will have lots more information to come about this very exciting meet. RSL Finals are different than our dual meets (between 2 teams) because all 6 teams from the division will compete, and there is opportunity for more swimmers to score points for the team. Swimmers will be ranked according to times into "A" "B" and "C" categories according to qualifying times, and points are awarded in all three categories, instead of only 3 swimmers per event that receive points in dual meets. The coaches will place swimmers into the events that they think that will get the most points for the team and the best chance for the swimmer to get finals medals and ribbons. Please talk to the coaches if you have questions.
Finals is a pre-seeded event, meaning that once the swimmers are entered into an event, they cannot be changed. Because the meet is set, a program or "heat sheet" is printed before the meet, and available for purchase. Each swimmer will be listed in their event, heat, and lane so you will know where your swimmer will be placed. These heat sheets also provide an opportunity for you to cheer on your swimmer, by buying an ad in the heat sheets. I will have a copy of last year's book if you'd like to see it.
Parents, if you would like to provide an encouraging word or funny picture for your swimmer, or business ad, please click this link to print the form for orders. Place your camera-ready ad and a check payable to RSL in the McNult family folder in the communication box at the pool. Deadline for ads is July 21! The swimmers really do like to see something special from their families in the heat sheets. Please consider including an ad and don't miss the deadline!
Thanks!
Amy
