Tomorrow is our big day. I’m very excited for this meet. The weather looks favorable to swimming and hanging out all day with friends. Now is our time to show up pumped-up and ready to swim–the fastest! Parents, it’s our job to keep our swimmers excited and encouraged. If everyone tries their best, we’ll win in so many ways. I truly believe, no matter what the outcome of the meet is, that we are the best team in the league. I enjoy so much being a part of it. I’m going to miss seeing you all at practice and Saturday mornings may be boring for a while…
Everyone must be checked-in with their coach tomorrow morning by 6:45. The scratch meeting will be at 7:00, and the meet should begin at 8:00. If you need directions to this pool in Livermore, please contact me.
Our team’s warm-up time is 7:20-7:35. Throughout the day lanes will be available to warm-up and cool-down. These lanes will open on the hour for 15 minutes. These lanes are only for practicing. No goofing around allowed.
A great league snack bar has been planned. You can look forward to these items for sale: Starbuck’s coffee, bagels, donuts, pizza, Subway sandwiches, Dennis’ famous pulled-pork sandwiches, Jamba Juice, potato salad, cole slaw, fruit salad, water, nachos (regular and deluxe), candy, caesar salad, hotdogs (chili cheese as well), and Mr. Softee ice cream cones. Whew, I’m hungry already.
Lastly, our party is Sunday. Please bring a side, salad, or dessert to share. It looks like we’ll begin serving around 4:30-ish instead of 5:00. Once everyone has eaten, the dessert bar will be opened and then we’ll begin our awards program.
Good luck, Stingrays.
Go Del Prado!!
