Ahoy, Pirates!

 

Mateys!  I have me a smile on me here face . . .  I don’t like to smile.  But your Coach sure does, and he can’t seem to wipe the grin from his face.  Great job on the Stars last week!  And the team photos are here.  See below for directions on how to get them.

 

This one will be an Away Meet, but at the Manvel High School.  However, we will be outside this time.  Manvel HS is having their Project Graduation set up during the day that day, so we’ve been relegated to the outdoors.  Click here for your events, but not yet.  They won’t be up until tonight or tomorrow.  Please call to inform Patti at 832-725-7388 if you will not be there.  Please do not call this number for any other reason.

 

Bring tents, blankets, sleeping bags, air mattresses, pillows, chairs, two towels, goggles, swim cap, change of clothes, and entertainment . . . and, of course, your Pirate Spirit.

 

We will begin check-in at 6:45 a.m.  We will end check-in at 7:15 a.m.  Do NOT be late or you will NOT be swimming.  Warm-ups begin right after check-in.  To check in, look for the junior coaches.  They will be in place to circle your name, give you your event stickers, and write your event numbers on your arm.  Warm-ups for our team begin at 7:20 a.m.  PEAK swimmers with Saturday morning practice will need to be checked in no later than 7:30 a.m.

 

If you sign up for a meet and you fail to attend without informing the Clerk, your swimmer will be penalized by sitting out one meet.  If you sign up for a meet, attend the meet and leave before your events are finished without letting the Clerk know, then your swimmer will be penalized two meets.  I hate to punish the kids, so please don’t make me.

 

Remember you are responsible for getting your child to the Ready Area in time for their events by keeping track of the official event board by the pool and the Ready Area.  As a courtesy, we try to help you do this by announcing what races are lining up.  However, it is ultimately you and your swimmer’s responsibility.

 

You can pick up your ribbons from our last meet at the Spirit Shop, which will be located close to Concessions.  And our photos are in.  If you haven’t paid for them yet, you will need to be bringin’ some money.  The photos will be available between 9ish and 11ish at the Ribbons table.

 

If you are unable to make your commitment to your volunteer time, you will need to be in contact with your Chairperson.  If your child gets sick and you call into the Clerk to let her know, you will still need to contact your Chair to let them know.

 

God speed, Pirates!
