Swim Team Update - Week of 11-26-18

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  This week we enter our first meets of the season!

Reminders:
1.) Most Important reminder for this week is to get pay-to-play fee paid.  This needs to be paid by our first meet.  This can be paid through Infinite Campus like school fees or by check.  Fees would be 200$ for first sport, 50$ for second sport or if a sibling has already participated.  Please note that because these are a school/district-wide item and not team specific, I do not post these or have any ability to change them.  If there is an error or you have any questions please contact the athletics office.
2.) Pasta Parties – Parents if anyone is interested in hosting, helping to host, or sending along some supplies, please feel free to place your name on any of the open lines linked in this Google Doc.  Always a great time and support for our swimmers!!!
3.) Timers – We are in need of a few timer volunteers for our first home meet this Friday.  The touch pads will nearly always get the time, from there the backup buttons, and as a last resort the lane timers.  We need two per lane per OHSAA rule but I promise it is not high-stress.  It also offers the best view of all the races!  If interested, please place your name on any of the open lines.
4.) All swimmers that have met their attendance will be in the meet on Friday night.  Please note the meet Saturday is a relay meet with 8 relays for the girls/8 for the boys.  For Saturday, each school is able to enter only one relay per event meaning not all of our swimmers will be entered.  Attendance standing and times will be used.  Lineups will be announced Tue/Wed.  Thank you!
5.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc) so that we can update attendance.  Remember that missed practices should be made up and you have two options to meet your attendance requirement for each day!  A giant thank you to those of you that have been on track with this!
