Parents Swim Meet and Pep Rally!

It's time to show the kids how it's done! The roles will be reversed and the kids will be the timers/marshals/announcers/starter/etc and the parents will swim!

We will have 6 events plus a special High School Seniors vs Parents Relay.

Sign up by Thursday, July 5th, to swim in the meet. The meet will run concurrent with the Pep Rally on July 6th, and the swim meet portion will begin at 6:30pm (should be over by 7:45 ish).

PLEASE ARRIVE BY 5:55 PM AND LINE UP TO EAT ASAP. We know we have working parents but we also know we need to get everyone home to bed for the A Meet the following morning. So arrive, drop off food, and line up. We will eat and start meet as soon as we have kids through and finished eating. Parents you can eat while you watch--unless you are participating:) If you can arrive earlier than 5:55--awesome-people will be there at 5:30 to receive you!

All events are co-ed (unless there are enough participants to run separate heats of men/women). The Seniors vs Adults relay race will cap off the meet -- unless the Seniors are concerned they will get beat ;-)

The events are as follows (you can swim up to 3 individual events + a relay):

100 IM

50 Free

50 Back

50 Breast

25 Fly

200 Free Relay*

*We are hoping to have enough parents to fill all the lanes for the relay.

To sign up to swim, e-mail Spencer Brooks ([email protected]) and identify which events you would like to swim. Swimmers--Spencer Brooks will be your point person all the way through.

Kid Jobs: Certain jobs, for example, Announcer, will have multiple kids rotating through for maximum opportunities. Adult volunteer spots are there to help facilitate this and to troubleshoot--please only choose this if you have experience in this position. If your child would like to do a specific job and it is full please email me ([email protected]).

All kids and adults who volunteer to help will need to speed eat and meet in grassy area at 6:25 for Pre-Meet Meeting:) (We would meet at Baby Pool like at official meets--but there will actually be babies in the pool;)

To sign up to help run the meet--KIDS ONLY--please sign up below. To sign up to bring food and supplies--please sign up below. Questions regarding kids sign up and potluck can be directed to Jen Farlin ([email protected]).

A special canon ball splash contest for parents will be interspersed along with Pep Rally Cheers in between events so swimmers have a moment to regroup:)

Thank you!
