Good afternoon Barracudas!

This weekend is our second home meet, and we are hosting the Huntwick Patriots. We will have a modified practice schedule on Friday, with a pep rally and a potluck supper. Please bring a dish to share. Paper products will be provided.

Practice times for Friday:

Beginner 5:00-5:20

Intermediate 5:20-6:00

Advanced 5:40-6:20

We will also set up the pool for the meet while practice is running. Please jump in to help – many hands make quick work! Our team setup area will be located near the starting blocks – feel free to bring your tents on Friday to make Saturday morning easier.  For ease of travel, remember to leave a walkway between our tents and the covered starting area.

On Saturday, please plan to arrive at 7 am.  We have a back entrance off the old tennis courts that opens onto Neeshaw.  Please feel free to park on Neeshaw, to free up space in our parking lot (a big Thank You to Ryan for clearing the gate!).  Our warmup starts at 7:10, with the meet start at 8:30.  Concessions will be available, including breakfast tacos, brisket sandwiches and nachos.

It will be hot and humid.  Bring things to keep you cool, and covered!  Remember your sunscreen and bug spray.

During the meet, the playground, baby pool and deep end will be off limits for safety reasons.  Please bring activities to occupy your swimmers during their down time. Everyone is encouraged to used the stands to watch and cheer their teammates.

A reminder of the new NWAL rule - all photos and videos must be taken from the sides of the pool, not behind the blocks. Please also keep the ready bench and waiting areas clear so swimmers can get to the start and officials can do their jobs.
