Hello HOWJ Parents - Thanks to everyone for your cooperation last night. It was a successful Mock Meet. Results are attached. We hope your kids enjoyed it - we saw lots of smiling swimmers!

THANK YOUS: As you can see, it truly takes an army to pull off these meets and we appreciate each and every volunteer. Extra special thanks because we know that meet ran longer than a typical MOCK Meet runs. That was due to the size of our team, and needing to get times for the various races. Coach Whitney also wanted kids to have a chance to swim IM and practice the relays - as they may not all get a chance to do that in regular meets. For a regular meet, (aside from shrimpers) your swimmer will only have 3, maybe 4 races on average. We have made notes to break up the volunteer slots next year for the mock meet into first half/second half if the team is this large. 

We thank ALL of our volunteers for keeping a smile on your face and hanging with us till the end.  Also thanks to our AMAZING coaching staff - we keep saying this - but we are so lucky to have you.

Thursday's Meet vs Weddington: We are excited to have our first in person HOME meet since 2019 on Thursday night! It will be double the crowd you saw last night. Let's remember that Weddington Racquet is our guest! Encourage your swimmers to be good team mates and hosts! 

SEATING @ REMAINING MEETS: For all remaining meets, you will NOT be allowed to set up under the pavilion. That area is reserved for the away team. You are welcome to set up against the clubhouse on deck and on the hill outside the fence. NO spectator chairs will be set up on Clerk of Course side (where the life guard sits). Please do NOT set up chairs before 4:30pm.

KIDS ON DECK: Please, please, please tell your kids to stay out of the water if they aren't swimming a race. No legs dangling in the pool, or dips in the shallow end. It's a liability and a distraction. Please help us with this! Also, your child should NOT be at the clerk of course or near the chairs in the starting area if they aren't swimming. PLEASE help us with this! 

MEET ATTENDANCE: Please remember that you must declare your child's meet attendance 3 days prior to the meets. If your attendance changes within 3 days of the meet please email [email protected] ASAP so we can adjust the heat sheets. Coach Whitney spends hours on the heat sheets - please help make this easier on her!

FOOD TRUCKS Thursday: Once again, dinner is done this Thursday! See below for the trucks and True's pre-order link. Pre orders help keep the wait and the line down. A portion of proceeds goes back to the Water Jets. Thanks for supporting these trucks.
