Time Trials has finished and now on to the next first of the season, our first pep rally!  For those that are new, our pep rally serves two purposes during a home meet week.  The first is to award the swimmers from the previous meet and get them excited about the upcoming meet.  The second purpose, it allows parents the opportunity to ready the pool for the next morning.  A typical home meet pep rally Friday will look something like this:

4:30 - 6:45 Normal Practice Times
6:30 - 6:45 Get Dinner set up in back pavilion area
6:45 - 7:00/7:15 ish Eat Dinner/visit with other families
7:00/7:15 ish swimmers finish eating, do awards/games while parents set up ready bench area, tent at starting blocks, rope off pool, set up computer area, 

8:30 Try to be cleaned up and finished so everyone gets a good nights rest.

For this specific week, we will pass out Swim Buddies for the swimmers wanting to participate, make posters, and probably play a game if there is time.  We are in need of 4 families willing to bring a potluck main dish (think 9x13 pan or lg crockpot) to be supplemented with salad, bread, and drinks.  If you are willing to participate in that, please email me back.  

Let me know if you have any questions.  I will be sending out another email later this week with more information for Saturday's meet and will also remind everyone about participating Friday night.  

See you tonight at practice!
