Lee’s Hill Lightning Family’s,
I just wanted to say that I thought all our swimmers did a great job yesterday during the mock meet. I especially want to congratulate all the 6 and under swimmers, and all the new swimmers who swam yesterday. I was very proud watching you all make that first leap into the pool for your first race ever, and was very excited to see everyone cheering all the swimmer on to do their very best. The cheering, sportsmanship, and community spirit, and all these first leaps are what this is all about.
Also – thank you to all the volunteers who helped out! I thought everything went very well, and that we should be ready for a great first meet on Wednesday. I took away a lot of lessons learned from yesterday. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could make things better – please let me know.
Wednesday’s Schedule:
The pool closes at 4:00 PM on Wednesday. That is when the Meet Set up volunteers will begin to get the pool ready for the meet.
Swimmers are to report to the pool at 4:30 PM
Home Team warm ups start at 5:00 PM
Away Team arrive at ~5:00 PM and warms up at 5:30
All Lane Timers will meet with the Head Timer near Concessions at 5:45 PM
All Stroke and Turn & Runners will meet with the Referee at 5:45 PM near the starter’s tent.
Meet Starts promptly at 6:00 PM.
The home team sits on the clubhouse side of the pool.
I am still in need of a few volunteers for the following very important positions:
Head Clerk of Course* | First Half |
Referee* | First Half |
Head Clerk of Course* | Second Half |
Scoring - Data Circler | Second Half |
Stroke and Turn* | Second Half |
We also really need some volunteers for the scoring room at future meets! No Training required! Job will be explained to you by the Head Scorer. The job description is also listed on the website. If you have the training for any of the other positions listed and you can help – please go to SignUpGenius and sign up. I would like to get all the positions filled as soon as I can. That way I do not have to lose any sleep worrying.
Reminder about the "Missed Meet" Form - please notify Coach Jay by Monday afternoon if your child will not be at the meet. (Don't forget to mention all the swimmers in your family that won't be there). The form is on the website, in the Family Box at the pool during practice, or you can email Coach Jay at usa_aus@verizon.net.
For any new families – the 2013 Swim Team Handbook is on the website. There is a lot of valuable information covered in the handbook.
See you at the pool!
Go Lightning!
