Happy Friday Penguins! Tomorrow is our first event of the swim season, Time Trials.

Here are a few reminders for tomorrow:

• Parents and swimmers should arrive no later than 7:45am. For those parents who are volunteering, please arrive no later than 7:30am to help with set-up and receive your briefing for the Time Trials.
• Swimmers should wear their swim meet suit - for girls, a one-piece suit with no zippers or other fastening devices & for boys, a jammer-like suit. Exemptions to the MCSL rules for swim suits will be granted only for religious beliefs, medical conditions, etc. Please see one of the team reps if this is the case for your swimmer. Reference the image below for swim suit examples:

• What to bring for your Swimmer:
  • Goggles + Extra Spare, Swim Cap, towel, something warm to wear in between events & after the meet, something to sit on, sunscreen, and a water bottle
  • Not required but is nice to have is cards or something NON-ELECTRONIC to do in between events.
• Parents who volunteered to bring something for the Grab & Snack, please bring those to the tables under the Clubhouse no later than 8am.
• Parents = Please remind your swimmer to use their listening ears tomorrow. We would like for our Penguins to not enter the Rec Pool until after Time Trials is over. Encourage your swimmer to cheer on their teammates as they swim. It’s always cool to watch the older swimmers get encouragement from the younger swimmers :)
• Reminder ~ Time Trials is a Penguins-only event where all swimmers will be timed in as many events as they are eligible in the same structure as a regular meet. Time Trials provide the coaches and swimmers with a baseline or “seed” time in each event and helps the coaches determine which meets and events in which to place swimmers for the subsequent weeks. Ideally, we hope to see all our Penguins at the event as it is a great meet simulation and an important bonding experience for the team.

As always, if you have any questions and/or need any additional information, please email your friendly Team Reps - Tobii & Kristin at [email protected] or find one of us on the pool deck.
