Hi Orcas!

We are excited for our first AWAY meet tomorrow at Willow Run. Please review the attached file sent from their team reps. Make sure you pay close attention to their body marking request - no writing on the back's of swimmers (the file explains why). It also explains when to arrive and our wam-up times. Again, PLEASE read the attached file. 

We have had some parents ask about practice on meet days. We DO have morning practices on meet days. If you feel your child will be better off sleeping in, resting, etc and/or feel that coming to practice will hinder their performance at the meet later that evening, you are more than welcome to keep them home. No swimmer is ever penalized for missing practice. This mostly applies to our younger/less experienced swimmers.

We have a LOT of swimmers out this week due to trips and illness. We are having several swimmers swim up. Please take note if your swimmer is swimming up an age group. The other file attached shows what each swimmer is swimming.  If we get any further absences, this could change.  Official heat sheets will be available when the home team has them ready tomorrow.

Thank you!

Go Orcas!
