Hi Hurricanes!

TEAM PHOTOS/MOCK MEET/TIME TRIALS ARE THURSDAY, 05/22 (no practice).

• Please arrive at 5:15 for team photos.  One of our parent committee volunteers has graciously volunteered to take the picture and I will send it out!  
• Our mock meet will begin at 6:00 pm but swimmers will be on deck at 5:30 pm for warm-up and a quick briefing of how the mock meet will progress.
• The purpose of the mock meet is 4-fold:
  • To obtain seed times to enter the first meet.
  • To allow swimmers the opportunity to get an idea of what a meet is like - getting called to the blocks, starting with a starter/buzzer, etc.
  • To allow coaches to make a final determination of which swimmers are "competition-ready" (i.e. can make it across the pool), and which may need one more season of lessons and/or decide which swimmers will swim which events at upcoming meets.
  • To allow parent volunteers to "practice" some of the volunteer roles performed at meets (primarily timing)
• WE NEED YOU! The Mock Meet will be run by parent volunteers - roughly 10. Assuming enough parents step up on this evening, no one will have to volunteer for the entire time (but you are welcomed to do so, if you want!). We will need timers as well as individuals to call swimmers for each event and help line them up behind the blocks. Note: volunteering at the mock meet will NOT count toward the volunteer time required to get your retainer back.
• If your swimmer isn't able to make it to the mock meet, get in touch with a coach or respond to this email to determine an alternative to get times for your swimmer (likely at an upcoming practice). We can use last year's times, if necessary, as seed times to enter our first meet. Coaches' contact info here: https://hunterscreek.swimtopia.com/coaches

GO HURRICANES!
