Hi Marlin Families,

I am very excited for the first meet tomorrow. This update has alot of info, please take the time to read it all and contact me with any questions. Thank to you everyone for declaring your swimmers- I am thrilled that we have 95% of the team signed up to swim tomorrow- thank you all so much!

• Declaration Changes
• Open Volunteer Positions
• T- Shirt orders
• Swim Cap update
• Practice schedule changes - morning practices start NEXT week
• 1^st Home meet tomorrow
• Munchin Marlins

Declaration changes:

Any change you need to make (fingers crossed there are none 😊 ) should be reported immediately to Coach Sam (919-455-4975) and me (919-345-9359) as there are updates we need to make in the meet software and printouts for the meet.

Open Volunteer Positions:

Thank you to all who have signed up to volunteer. Currently, we have not filled the following positions for our first meet:

• 3rd Timer
• Backup/Relief timer (rotates and gives timers breaks if needed)
• Back- up Timer (in case a timer misses starting a time)

If you have any questions about what these positions entail please let me know. They are all able to be performed by inexperienced volunteers- no one would be left alone.  

T-shirts:

I started distributing t-shirts today, the rest will be given out at the meet tomorrow or next time you are at practice. 

Swim Cap Update:

Swim Caps are here and will be given out at the meet tomorrow. Make sure your swimmer brings their goggles!

Summer practice hours: START NEXT WEEK. NOT TOMORROW

Please note that starting next week we will follow summer hours. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday will remain the same while Tuesday and Friday will have AM practice from 10-11:30.

Meet tomorrow- at home vs Summerfield North:

For new swim parents there is more information on what to expect at a meet, what to bring, info about events, etc. located on our team website under the meets/events tab. Please arrive at the pool no later than 4:45 so that you can set up and get your
swimmers ready. They will stretch at 4:45 and begin pool warm up at 5:00.
The meet starts promptly at 6 PM. Please remember that we reserve
our parking lot for the visiting team. We will have concessions available: Water,
Gatorade, soft drinks, fruit, baked goods, snacks and candy, pizza and meatball
sliders (which were the bomb last year!)  Thanks to the Garkalns family for handling Concessions once again this year.

Munchin Marlins- Thank you to Kristen Ivory for taking the lead this week and for making all of those sandwiches!  We still need a lead for next week. Please let me know by Thursday 6/13 if you are able to help out. If you have any questions about what is involved please let me know. Signups will be updated once we have a lead and a menu.

Summary of actions needed:

• Volunteer if possible for last remaining open positions for tomorrow's meet
• notify Coach Sam and I immediately if there is a change to your declarations or job sign ups.
• Signups for rest of season are open- meet declarations, Muchin Marlins lead and RSVP's etc.

Thank you for your patience and for taking the time to read all of this! As always if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

GO MARLINS!
