Wednesday: Time Trial and End of School Celebration. Pool will be open 7:30-9:30 after the Time Trial for free swim and team fun

Thursday: AM practice schedule begins AND club opens full time

Saturday: Swim Blast Invitational

 

 

TO DO:

1.  Think about getting the best seats at the meets by becoming a Dive Judge and/or Swim Stroke and Turn Judge.

No experience necessary to learn how to be a diving judge (seat at the well) or a swim judge (walking the ide of the pool) helping our teams have a fair and enjoyable meet and summer swim experience!  We are lucky to have a number of excellent returning judges at Hideaway that you can shadow after going through the clinic below. Questions please contact our swim reps, Jake and Josh. 

2.  Declare your athlete(s) intention to participate in the Time Trial on Wednesday

Name:	Blue & White Meet (Time/Score Trial)

4. While you are in your account...take a look at your swimmer(s) assigned practice groups. 

• Located under Your Account and their member information on the app or webpage.
• To ensure the coaches may conduct effective, efficient, and safe practices throughout the summer, we have assigned swimmers to practice groups based on several factors including age, ability, and pre season evaluations/discussions.
• While we would like to accommodate all friend group preferences and daily schedules, we do take our abilities to deliver the best practices possible as our first variable. But will take into consideration any and all feedback.
• For those that are PM swimmers OR those training with your club team your practice group was a placeholder for if you do come for a Hideaway morning practice at any time.
• IF you have ANY questions or concerns (or found an error) regarding your swimmer(s) placements, please reach out to Cheryl: [email protected]. 

5. Declare your athlete(s) RSVP for the  dual meets

• Follow the same steps as RSVP for the time trial.  Coaches will choose athlete events (maximum 4 events; 2 events guaranteed - aim for 3)
• There are many factors that go into writing a lineup with 160 athletes.  YOUR TIMELY RSVP IS VERY HELPFUL and MUCH APPRECIATED. Please take a minute to respond.  Availability of your kiddos/family may change, and can be handled closer to the meets.
• You can also add notes - such as a late arrival or early departure. Please note that athletes are expected to arrive at the CHECK IN time and stay until the end of the meet both for team support/bonding as well as possible entry into an event in case of a scratch.

 

ENJOY YOUR DAY and we will see you around the pool!
