Good evening Barracudas!

Time Trials is this Saturday! What you need to know:

1. Log in to your Swimotopia accounts, go to "Swim Meet", select the green Meet Entry box, and declare for the meet by clicking Attending.   You will have the option to select the events you think your swimmer might be able to swim.  For time trials we are trying to get a time for every possible event.  The times are required to swim in regular meets during the season.  There will be a coaching review, so don't worry if you're not sure.   If you cannot attend, click Not Attending.  We will have to arrange another time during the week to get times.
2. There is also a place to sign up for volunteer jobs. Every parent will need to help in some capacity.  For a first time, either timer or scribe is a good choice.
3. Please arrive by 7:15 for warmup. This will be our usual warmup time for home meets. The meet will start at 8:30 and usually ends around 12-12:30. Once everyone is declared, we will have a better estimated timeline.
4. When you arrive, please circle-in. For new families, we have poster boards near the pool entrance for each age group, so swimmers can check their event numbers for the meet. For time trials, everyone should swim all the individual events they can, but this will help get the swimmers ready for check-in for regular meets.
5. Dwayne will be cooking a pancake and sausage breakfast for the team. There will be a jar for free will donations if you would like to contribute. Otherwise, please come and enjoy!
6. It is expected to be warm and humid, so remember plenty of drinks, light snacks, sunscreen and bug spray.
7. Bring a note of encouragement or small treat for your buddy. These are intended to foster friendship and not be an extra burden on families. if you choose to purchase something, please keep it less than $5.

We have a few extra team shirts available for $17. If you are interested, please reach out.
