Good Monday Morning:
Clearfield Dual Meet
We have our first KYSL dual meet this Saturday, hosting Clearfield. We will begin taking sign ups this afternoon. Now, what happens at practices is that the coaches ask if the swimmer will be in the meet. We will also ask what events they want to swim in order of preference. If we place the swimmer in one or two relays, we will not enter them in their least preferred events. Parents, you can email me yes or no for your swimmer. I ask that you only email me about the upcoming meet, not, as one parent once did: "My swimmer will be in all meets this year." If you have emailed me about this meet, please do so again.
Meet Event
Each meet we have a Meet Event, in which all SCAY swimmers will be entered. This week the Meet Event will be the 100 free.
All Events
My goal each year is to have swimmers swim all events offered in their age group at least once during the season.
Relays
If possible, each swimmer will participate in at least one relay each meet. Sometimes they will be in two as this is a numbers game.
Warm ups/Meet Start
Our warm ups begin at 8:00. Everyone should arrive by 7:45 to check in with their coach and get ready to be in the water at 8:00 sharp. The meet will begin at 9:00.
High School Swimmers
There is no high school meet this Saturday, so all high school swimmers are expected to participate in our meet. They will be entered in the maximum of four events.
Didn't Sign Up?
Sometimes swimmers don't get signed up (forgot, other activities that get cancelled). If a swimmer shows up for one of our dual meets and didn't sign up, we will get them in the meet. I cannot guarantee relays.
Not On The Entry List?
It is not uncommon that a swimmer who did sign up gets left off the entry list, which will be posted in the lobby. Don't panic. Simply let me know and we will get you in the meet. Again, I cannot guarantee relays.
More as it comes up.
