TIME TRIALS are this SATURDAY, June 15^th

• Please mark whether or not your child can attend Time Trials by going to the “EVENTS & SIGNUPS” page on the team website (under "Events & Signups" click "Meet Entry").
• PARENTS: sign up for VOLUNTEER positions.
• SWIMMERS: arrive to the pool by 8:15am for warmups, so we can begin PROMPTLY at 9am (if things run smoothly, we hope to finish by 11am or shortly after)! Meet in the grassy area in the back of the pool deck.

WHAT IS TIME TRIALS?  “Time Trials” is a swim event where team members swim as many of the 4 strokes as they are able (legally per the swim coaches). Strokes are freestyle, back, breast and butterfly. We time each swimmer, and use it as a baseline for the upcoming A Meet on Saturday, June 22.

We are not competing against any other team, BUT we set up the pool just like a swim meet, fill volunteer positions, and it’s a great opportunity for new swimmers and parents to get the *feel* of a swim meet.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that as many swimmers attend this event as possible. Times are critical in aiding coaches in placing swimmers in meets. Makeups will be available during practices early the following week.

VOLUNTEERS!!!  We can’t do this without you!! We need parents to help in every capacity this Saturday. Unlike normal swim meets, we will need 18 Timers (versus 9 normally). This is a great time to learn an easy and fun job, where you can watch the races close up! If we don’t have enough Timers to fill all 6 lanes, the day will run longer.

Visit the website to read descriptions of volunteer positions. And remember, Time Trials is a GREAT opportunity to learn! If you are nervous, I will gladly pair you up with a friendly swim parent to show you the ropes! Just email me.
