What if my child can't attend a session or meet? Although we would like all swimmers to attend every meet we understand you may not be able to attend a specific meet or session. Please go to the Meets and Travel section of our website and scroll down to read and understand Meet Entries, "Opt-Out" (Opting out of a meet) and No Show/fines. All those who know they cannot attend a meet or a session in a meet must notify Coach Holmes AND your coach via EMAIL. A text message is acceptable but only if a few hours before event. It be followed up with an email. Failure to do so could result in being must fined for the session. What should my child bring to a meet? Team suit, team cap (2) and team t-shirt(s) are required. All are encouraged to wear team clothing as well (sweatshirt, sweatpants, bags etc.), goggles (2 in case one breaks), deck shoes, 2 towels, and other warm clothing they may need. They may also bring a small yoga mat, folding chair and/or small games to make their down time more comfortable. Healthy Snacks: It is important to come to a meet prepared to keep their “engine running as they get ready for their races. However, they are not there to eat - there smooth” they’re to race. All swimmers are encouraged to come to meet with some good carbs (healthy) snacks/drinks. This is good fuel for them. Suggest a ziploc of their favorite cereal, pretzels and or other light snacks and water/Gatorade. NO CANDY OR JUNK FOOD Concession stand food is typically not swimmer friendly. Ex. soda, donuts and bagels are high in sugar and are difficult to digest in time for their race. As always, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me or your coach. See you at the pool, Coach Holmes
