CHEERS TO A 3-DAY WEEKEND!!!!

Thank you to all who came out for our Mock Meet yesterday. It was a learning experience for some and a refresher for others. But most importantly it was a huge success and the kids were having a blast! SUMMER IS HERE! Let’s give a big shout out to our parent volunteers who helped time the events and stood directly in the sun with a smile on their face. All of our parents were eager to step-up and assist where needed. This really did make a difference and y’all make this fun and easy when there are so many willing to lend a hand or two!!! We cannot do it without YOU! And of course another HUGE shout out to our fantastic Coaches! You all show so much patience and support and the kids really do appreciate that when jumping into the water! And of course our Hurricane swimmers (new and returning)…….HIGH FIVES’ ALL AROUND FOR Y’ALL! You all did such a great job out there and make it look so easy! There was great community spirit in the air this evening!

Our first home meet is next Saturday, May 31^st against Promontory Point. All the info you need to know is on our team's website here: (scroll down to Promontory Point @ HC meet) - NOTE TIMES FOR S&T JUDGE MEETINGS AND TIMER MEETING WITH REFEREE.

If you have signed up to be a S&T Judge, please make sure you have taken the on-line training before the meet.

COACHES NEED TO KNOW BY WEDNESDAY, May 28^th, IF YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE AT THE MEET NEXT SATURDAY. Your swimmer will be included on the roster unless told otherwise.

If you know that your child will not be at Saturday's meet, MAKE SURE TO DECLARE HIS/HER ABSENCE on the website by this Wednesday by following the steps below:

You must do 2 things if your swimmer WILL NOT BE AT A MEET: Here are the keystroke by keystroke instructions to follow if your swimmer will NOT be at a meet:

Number 1: Log into the team’s site (https://hunterscreek.swimtopia.com/login)to “declare” his/her absence: log in, click on “Schedule” tab, then “Swim Meets and Events”, then click on the green “meet entry” box for the meet your child(ren) will miss, click on “edit” and use the drop down menu to declare your swimmer(s) as “not attending”.

Number 2: Let the coach know – either at practice or via email @ [email protected]

Please note that if we enter your child in a meet, but then he/she doesn't participate, there's a fairly lengthy "trickle down" effect, as meet volunteers are forced to make last minute changes to heat and lane assignments and relays - this affects both teams and often delays the start of the meet, so PLEASE let us know if your child won't be there!

LAST MINUTE CHANGES IN AVAILABILITY- Life happens...kids get sick, ear infections, etc. - if something comes up and your child will NOT be at the meet, please contact Coach Lauren immediately at [email protected] or [email protected] so heat/lane/event assignments can be adjusted accordingly.

I will be sending another email early next week giving details about our home meet.

Friendly reminder: We will not be having swim practice this coming Monday, May 26^th in observance of Memorial Day.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Go Hurricanes!
