For those working our upcoming meet First Edition will be offering Light Blue meet t-shirts with the meet design on the front and STAFF printed on the back for $10.  We are asking all meet workers to please purchase a t-shirt.  This will make it easy for the visiting teams and other individuals to quickly locate someone working the meet if they need help. Please contact Laura Perryman by email at [email protected] if you plan to purchase a t-shirt and the size you will need.  This will let First Edition know how...

Next week the morning practice schedule will be different now that summer school is over.  Contract groups will be able to start 30 minutes later.  We will practice Tuesday through Friday mornings from 6:30-8:30am.  The time change should stick for a while even if the days of the week may be different each week.

It is time to hold board elections for JCKW.  If you would like to nominate someone or have a desire to run yourself, please call or text Cassie Brouwer at (417) 621-5825 or email her at [email protected].  Being a board member is a great way to volunteer and give back to the team.  If you have any questions about what being a board member entails, you can also contact Cassie or any current board member. Thanks! Jasper County Killer Whales     

Arkansas Swimming will be holding a Stroke and Turn Officials Clinic on June 28th at the RAC meet.  Being an official is a great way to help out with swimming.  Our team is always in need of officials for our meets.  Being an official also has benefits such as free food and the best seat in the house.  The clinic is a great way to see what is involved with officiating swimming.  If you have any interest at all I encourage you to attend the clinic.  You can also talk...

The weekend of June 27-29 was going to be the meet at Mizzou for our team...  their meet filled up and we did not get accepted.  We are now heading to the Razorback meet at the University of Arkansas on that weekend.  Don't forget to cancel your hotels if you had already booked in Columbia!

Heat Sheet Ads:  Don't forget to sell your heat sheet ads.  They are due by July 1st.  They can be submitted to the coaches, Randy or Stephanie Miller. Thanks! Jasper County Killer Whales

Coach K finally got the results file from Fort Smith.  I know that some people tried to go into their Mizzou entries and update them with new Q times for Columbia earlier and were not able to.  Now the new times are in the database.  I am trying to get these entries finished by the end of the school day tomorrow (Tuesday) so if you need to get entries in or change them in any way I have moved the entry deadline to give you access tonight and tomorrow morning....

Mornings are Tuesday through Friday!! Coach K multi-tasking is a disaster apparently!!

This week contracts have mornings available Monday through Thursday from 6-8am. Evenings are the normal Mn day through Thursday 6-8pm. Also, Mizzou entries are due. Coach K will be working on them all day Monday and hopes to send a final file Monday evening after practice so please get those events picked if you plan to go! Congrats to everyone who raced at Ft Smith. I will update target charts with all the new best times as soon as I can!
