It felt great to practice this morning at our own home pool!!!  And we are so excited for our first Home Meet this Saturday, June 22nd.  Please remember to mark your swimmer as participating or not by noon on Wednesday, June 19th so they aren't left out of events.  Warm-up will be at 6:45 a.m. for our home meets and our theme this week is RAINBOW!!.  

Here is some important information about events coming up in July:

1. The 4th of July Party at the pool is our biggest team fundraiser. We run the Bingo tent and need lots of prize donations! Please consider donating prizes - you can bring them to the guard shack during practice. This can be Dollar Store/Aisle toys, re-gifted items (unused), or anything you might enjoy winning if you were playing. We try to get fun stuff for kids and adults alike! Reminder - no glass at the pool! You can also make a cash donation to our Venmo @HHSTSWIM with 4th of July or Bingo in the notes and we will use that money to buy additional prizes. There are also volunteer slots in Swimtopia for working our Bingo Tent on the 4th of July - Sign up if you are interested (this can count toward your required 3 jobs for the season!!

2. It is time to start thinking about League Prelims and Finals!  After our 5 regular season meets, there is a league-wide Prelim meet for each age group and the top 18 swimmers in each event qualify to swim in the League Finals meet. Prelims are optional but lots of fun! To be eligible for Prelims, swimmers must participate in 2 regular season meets. I've opened up the meet entries for all four of the age group Prelims Meets in Swimtopia (if your swimmer has not done 2 meets yet they won't be eligible to sign up until they do). If nothing is entered, coaches will assume that your swimmer is not participating and they will not be placed into any events. These are long meets with lots of swimmers so plan on the whole day, 7 a.m. or earlier until 3-4:00 p.m.. The prelim entries will be open in Swimtopia for you to mark your swimmer as participating until Sunday, June 30th at noon - please mark your swimmer as attending or not before this deadline. Prelim and Finals volunteer spots are also open - if your kiddo is participating in Prelims, please sign up!!  Stroke Judges - 2 years experience preferred to work Prelims/Finals.

The Prelims and Finals meets are as follows (date/location):
