HOWJ: Providence Downs Meet Details

Hello Water Jets - We are excited for our first meet of the season tomorrow (Monday night). We will be traveling to Providence Downs. Please read this email for important reminders and some details below from Providence Downs. Events by athlete is attached and we will send the Heat Sheet once we receive it. 

SPORTSMANSHIP: Please encourage your swimmers to show good sportsmanship tomorrow night. Congratulate ALL swimmers on a job well done. We want to hear lots of cheering and encouragement for our Water Jets as well. Please also take extra care to clean up any trash before leaving the meet. 

RELAY ORDERS: Tomorrow some swimmers will be swimming in the Medley Relay. We didn't practice that in the Mock Meet. The Medley Relay order is as follows: Back/Breast/Fly/Free. So if your child is swimmer #3 in that relay - they will be swimming Fly. IM order is Fly/Back/Breast/Free. Feel free to write this on them if that helps ;-)
