Swim Team Families

As we get ready for Time Trials (our practice Swim Meet) this Friday … We are also going to get ready for our first (practice) Pep Rally!

Our Pep Rallies are designed to be a fun Friday evening activity for all the kids on the Swim Team to spend some time together, have a little fun, celebrate each other’s accomplishments and get ready for the next day swim meet. Practice times are adjusted on Fridays to allow time for us to have the pep rally and not get home too late. We will try this year to end the Pep Rallies a little earlier this year than in previous years, so that all of our swimmers can get a good night rest before the meet.

We will have 2 different versions of Pep Rallies this year:

#1 – Home Meets

After Friday practice all swimmers will meet on the bleachers for Coach Alicia to pass out ribbons from the previous week’s meet. We will play a team building game and have dinner together. All this is happening while people are also working on getting everything set-up for the swim meet the next day – tents, ready benches, ropes, etc.

#2 – Away Meets

After Friday practice all swimmers will meet on the bleachers for Coach Alicia to pass out ribbons from the previous week’s meet. We will play a team building game together and then everyone can go home. (No dinner for away meets, but of course families can bring snacks for their kids if needed/wanted).

So, this Friday, we will need help setting for our “Home Meet”/Time Trials during practice. Swimmers will meet after practice on the bleachers, meet his or her swim buddy, and play a team game, while parents help setup. Then, we can all have dinner together. For a quick easy dinner this week we will have Little Ceasar’s Pizza. We are asking each family to sign up on the Google Doc form at the end of this email so we know how many families will be eating. On Friday, please bring $10 per family to pay for the pizza. Please BYOD (Bring Your Own Drinks). Paper plates and napkins will be provided. Suggestions for our next Home Meet meal welcomed!

Don’t forget, practice looks a little different on Fridays before a meet:

Advanced 5:30-6:30 PM

Intermediate/Beginner 6:00-6:45 PM

Awards/Pep Rally 6:50-7:10

Home Meets, Dinner 7:15-8:15

Swimmers in bed by 9:00! Per Coach Alicia😊
