Good Evening Crocs!

We are looking forward our last meet of the season tomorrow at Burkwood! Please read below and get that excitement/energy ready for our big night! As always, reach out to me directly if you have any questions at [email protected] or text me at (434)238-0284.

Events

• The events are attached below. Please understand that as a coaching staff we only place swimmers in events we know they will be great at based on practices and the needs of the team. If you have questions or a desperate need for a change of event, contact Lauren directly to discuss. 
• All relays are tentative and subject to change, please check the relay whiteboard at the meet to confirm the relays.
• For 9 and up swimmers, please double check with a coach that you are not on a relay if you plan to leave early.

• It is going to be a HOT and sunny day on meet day, so please make sure to bring plenty of water and keep your swimmer(s) (and yourself) hydrated.

Sportsmanship/Support

As a team, we would like to do our best to be positive, welcoming, and supportive to our own team and the Burkwood swim team. If possible, please go over these quick reminders with all swimmers so we can show what a great team we have :)

• Cheer on our teammates and be supportive throughout the meet!
• Wait in the water at the end of each race for everyone to finish, as well as give handshake or high five to at least one lane beside you wait to get out of pool.
• Do not write anything on back or body at meet beyond the shoulder marking for dive rules, and the event numbers on hand/arm. NO body glitter or paint either!
• Clean up trash throughout the meet even if it's not yours so that we can keep our pool looking nice and have less work to do at the end of the meet!
• Help our new/returning swimmers feel comfortable and confident- we are one big family when it comes to swim meets and have lots of new swimmers! Get to know others regardless of age and help any swimmer when/if needed!

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

Sincerely,

Coach Lauren
