Final score:
Del Prado – 685
FAST – 273
Well, it was a hot night at the pool. Great weather for another summer swim meet. Thank you to all the volunteers that helped set-up, run, and take-down tonight’s meet. A meet is a huge event and we could never, ever run a meet without all your help. I so appreciate all that you do.
Thank you, swimmers, for more great races tonight. The coaches and I talked tonight about how much improvement we see in your swims. It’s really very noticeable in our younger age groups. All those things you’re being taught at practice are starting to “click.”
Thank you, coaches, for just being who you are–simply the best coaches (and people) ever . I’ll always want to be on your team.
Ruby Hill Meet Information
Our next meet is Saturday, July 9 against Ruby Hill at their pool. All swimmers must be checked in with their coach by 8:00 a.m. It will take more time to drive there and settle in so plan accordingly. The scratch meeting will be at 8:10 and the meet is planned to start at 9:00. I will not be at this meet. I think it’s the first meet I’ve ever missed. Lisa McMasters will be the coordinator. If you have any questions, concerns, or information, please contact her Thursday-Sunday. (lisa.mcmasters70@gmail.com) Listed below is general information from Ruby Hill.
Here is some general information about the meet that will be helpful:
- Our gates open at 7:15 am, you are welcome to arrive anytime after that.
- When you arrive at Ruby Hill, please have your families tell the guard station that you are attending the Ruby Hill Killer Whales swim meet. When you come into the neighborhood through the gate off of Vineyard Avenue, please turn to the left and proceed about a half mile and the pool will be on your left at the intersection of East Ruby Hill Drive and Piemonte Drive.
- There is plenty of seating at our pool, the visitor’s designated area is to the rear of the pool on the grassy slope. As your families come into the pool through the gate, your seating area will be under and behind the arbor on the far side of the pool. We will have setup crew members at the pool to help direct your families.
- As for parking, your families may park in the parking lot and on the pool side of East Ruby Hill Drive. Please have your families refrain from parking on the homes side of East Ruby Hill Drive – the street gets too narrow if cars park on both sides of the street.
- We will start with our warmups at 8:00 am; your warmups start at 8:25 and go til 8:50 am.
- We will have our scratch meeting promptly at 8:10 am.
- We will start the meet at 9:00 am.
- We will have a snack bar.
Reminder: Tuesday July 12th – Pasta Feed
Next Tuesday, July 12, is our team Pasta Feed. Your swim team board provides a delicious pasta dinner for all Stingray swimmers (swimmers only, not families). We will feed each age group directly after each practice. Parents, please plan to pick up your swimmer about 30 minutes or so later than usual. A big thank you to Kim Beatty to organize this for all of us.
That’s it for now. Good luck at the meet on Saturday. Swim fast and have a great meet.
See you all next week.
Go Del Prado,
Joan
Feel free to forward this to friends and family. The more the merrier!
