Good Morning Crocs,

With our first swim meet fast approaching, I have a few announcements and reminders.

Dive Rules

• Gral follows the USA swimming dive certification rules for all 10 and under swimmers. The coaches have been working at practice to document everyone’s dive level.
• Some swimmers are only certified to dive off the side, and some swimmers must start in the pool. This is due to safety concerns regarding diving.
• At check in, some swimmers will receive either an “X” or an “O” written on their right arm. This ensures the officials know the swimmer’s dive level. Those will an X will start from inside the pool, and those with an O will start from the side of the pool.

Swim Meet Reminders/Announcements

• The meet theme will be Canterbury Colors (Blue and Green)
• The pool gate opens at 4:30 pm, Warm-ups start at 5:20 pm, and Check-in must be completed by 5:30 pm. Please see the email from Jennifer Eakes for more information regarding the swim meet.
• It is going to be very hot tomorrow so please make sure to bring plenty of water and keep your swimmer (and yourself) hydrated.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns at [email protected].

Go Crocs!

Very Respectfully,

Coach Zach
