Hey team!

We have a big week ahead of us! I know these emails are long, but please read to the bottom for important info.

The lovely ladies in the office have also asked me to please remind everyone to leave office parking open, especially during office hours. They have had several residents complain about the lack of parking.

Practice

Reminder that our practice times this week will shift now that the pool is open for the summer. The entire team will be practicing from 8-10am each day. We also have afternoon practices available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are trying to limit these to our swimmers who are still in school since these take place while the pool is open and we will only have two lanes to use for practice. NO practice tomorrow (Memorial Day)!

Meet Saturday: BGP & WST vs. Sharks

PLEASE go into our schedule and RSVP to the meet! We need this information by Thursday so we can create meet entries and set up relays. When doing this, please also consider signing up for one of the many jobs we have listed for the meet. These meets cannot run without our volunteers and we'll be randomly assigning jobs at the end of the week, if necessary!

Next, I (Natalie) will be out of town and desperately need someone to volunteer to run the computer at the meet. This is an easy job and I’ve created a “cheat sheet” to make it even easier! This can also be split into two volunteers. It’s my favorite job because it’s one of the only ones that takes place in the air conditioning! Also, taking breaks to watch your swimmers is fully expected, so need to worry you'll miss anything. If you would consider doing this, please reach out and let me know!

More comprehensive information about the meet will be sent Thursday. Warm ups start at 8 and the meet will begin at 9. Please plan to arrive a little early to get your swimmer checked in!

Meet/Schedule Updates

We met as a league last week to fine tuned our 2021 schedule. I’ve updated the meets on our schedule. For our meet this Saturday, we will swim against the Walnut Bend Sharks in person and Westchester will join us virtually. The other two tri-meets will be fully in person. We also decided to forgo the “meet of champs” and bring back Prelims & Finals! All swimmers will be invited to Prelims on Friday, June 25 and the top 12 league times in individual races and top 6 times in relay events will be invited back the next day for finals.

BGP Stars Gear

We ran into an issue with our T-shirt’s and are having them reprinted. We hope to have these by the end of the week and available to pick up before the meet. We are so sorry for the delay! Worst case, we will pass out each swimmer's bag with their caps and other items at practice this week and have shirts available for pickup next week.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day and we'll see you Tuesday!
