Hey Gator Family!

Only one day away from the start of our season?!? I am SO pumped to get to work and start chasing after some best times for our athletes this season! A couple of reminders heading into our first week of the season:

• Please have your athletes ready to go at the start of their practice time. Your child should be attending the practice group that matches with their age (except for the ones who have reached out separately to me). Practice times can be found HERE.
• We already have a meet coming up on Saturday! I highly recommend having ALL athletes who are in town and able, to compete in the Intersquad Meet to help get a feel for what a meet is like. This meet will by far carry the least pressure and be the best entry point into meets for our newest swimmers. 
• Event signups for June 6th (Intersquad @ NFG) and June 13th (SCCA & Westfield @ NFG) are OPEN! It is the responsibility of the family to sign athletes up for meets. I will have my computer available at the pool to help kids get signed up- I need your help to communicate with your child if they WILL or WILL NOT be attending those meets. I highly recommend having our OG and Caiman swimmers sign themselves up to help delegate that responsibility. However, if they aren't signed up, swimmers will not be able to participate. In order to sign up you will need to log into your Swimtopia account, click on the swim meet schedule, and select the button for "Meet Entry". I will always have the final decision on meet entries and may modify if needed, as well as create relays that are best for our program. You are always welcome to reach out with questions about meet entries!
• Entries for June 6th will remain open until 10 AM on June 5th. At that point I will close entries in order to create a meet program to send to our team. 
• For the 6/6 meet we need volunteers! Help get those volunteer points by signing up now! Signups are open on the meet schedule right next to meet entries and labeled as "Job Signup".
• On 6/6 warmups will be from 7:30-7:50 AM for all swimmers. Swimmers need to be ready for a team meeting at 7:20 AM so I recommend arriving earlier. I will send out some more meet logistics this week but plan on an 8 AM start time for 6/6.
• The team store deadline is quickly approaching. Don't put this off any later- please get it taken care of! https://www.swimmisports.com/collections/nelson-farm-swim-team

Go Gators!
