I wanted to send out a little more info regarding time trials, especially for new families....

Time Trials are Tuesday, May 19th. We will NOT have practice that day (No Rookie Practice, either, but Rookies can come for pictures and enjoy concessions after). Time Trials will start at 6pm and last roughly 2.5 hours. If you have finished your volunteer shift that evening, you are welcome to leave once your swimmer is finished with their events.

Tuesday, May 19th

• 4pm - Individual Pictures start -see attachments from photographer
• 5pm - Team Picture (wear blue team tshirt)
• 5:30 - Warm Ups
• 6pm - Time Trials start

Time Trials are run like a meet without the opposing team. This is a good opportunity for new families to get a feel for a real swim meet. This is the ONLY meet where coaches are able to be in the water to help a swimmer down the lane. If your child is 'on the fence' on their ability to compete, this is a good opportunity to test the waters. (pun intended) Ages 5-10 swim 25 yards (1 lap) and 11-18 swim 50 yards (2 laps (down and back)) and will be timed on the 2-4 strokes.

Don't forget to sign up your swimmer for Time Trials through our website-Swimtopia by the end of day Friday. See my previous email.

We will run Concessions, so plan on eating dinner with us. Concessions take cash or credit card (and we are trying Apple Pay). If you have concession donations, please bring it no later than Tuesday night.

From our wonderful concessions team:

We are excited to be back this year helping with concessions! Running concessions is quite an operation and we appreciate your help and patience as we get started for the year. Time trials are quickly approaching and we want to make sure we have enough food for everyone.

For time trials on May 19, we are keeping it simple with Zaxby's chicken fingers, Zaxby's chicken sandwiches, pizza, and hot dogs. It's always hard to predict how much food we will need. To help us know how much to order we are asking families to use the Sign Up Genius link to preorder food. This will help us ensure your family has what they want. People who order using the link will have their food set aside. We will order some extra, but it will be sold on a first come first serve basis. May 19 PreOrder Link

Preorders for time trials will close Saturday, May 16 at 12 noon.

As always we will have treats like chips, candy, and ice cream too! Thanks again for all your support this year! It's going to be a great swim season!

Your Concessions Team:
