Hello Parents - Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Reminder we do not have practice today (Memorial Day). We will practice this week on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon only this week. Please read on for some important reminders! 

MOCK MEET: Our first meet is Thursday, June 1st. Please be sure to arrive to this meet by 4:45pm as we will be taking the team picture that day, as well as individual pictures (if you choose to do so). Your child should wear their Hunter Oaks suits for the picture. This meet is JUST our team. It's a great run through for everyone to work out any kinks. We will have Food Trucks at all home meets - including this one. Please see the attached flier and plan to eat dinner at the meet - a percentage of sales goes back to the team! Thank you Barb Silaygi for booking all of these trucks.

SCHOOL NIGHTS: This year is a little different- as we will have THREE meets on "school nights" (June 1st, 5th, & 8th). For all swimmers except for shrimpers, the meets can run late. Sometimes they don't end till around 9:45/10pm. If you DO NOT want your child swimming in the last two events (which are Butterfly & Free relay) during the school nights - please email [email protected] and let us know your swimmers name/age group and Coach Whitney will make sure they don't swim in those races at those meets. If we don't hear from you - we expect that your child will swim in the races they are assigned.

MEET ATTENDANCE: In advance of EVERY meet, you will log in to Swimtopia (waterjets.swimtopia.com) and "declare" your swimmer either present or absent. If you already know some meets they will miss this summer, go ahead and mark them now. If your plans change, be sure to update your swimmers status in the system. This is how the coaches know who to put in to race at each meet. If this is not accurate, you may show up to a meet and your child won't be listed on the heat sheet and won't be able to swim.

To record meet attendance

• Log into Swimtopia: Click "meets and events" tab
• Click "sign up calendar"
• Click "meet entry"
• Under each child's name select "edit" and change their status from "undeclared" to either "attending" OR "not attending" FOR EVERY SINGLE MEET.
• We don't want anyone listed as undeclared.
• We need to know if you are in or out ;-). This is NOT something that can be done last minute. Heat Sheets are made several days in advance of the meet. So if you have a last minute change, you MUST notify us.
• We need ALL swimmers declared for the Mock Meet by TUESDAY (5/30) at noon!

SWIMTOPIA APP: There's a mobile app available for Swimtopia. You may want to download it as you can use it to follow along with the HOME meets. There's a free version as well as a paid version. Last summer, many families bought it for just the month of June and cancelled it. During the home meets, it will notify you when your swimmers race is coming up.

Drink donations: If you haven't dropped off your case of drinks yet - please do so!

• LAST NAME A-G – Case of Gatorade or Powerade
• LAST NAME H-O - Case of Water (Still or Sparkling)
• LAST NAME P-Z - Case of Soda (Coke/Pepsi/Sprite/Lemonade etc.)

We are looking forward to another great week of swim!
