 We have a busy week on the horizon as we return to the annual Swim and Rock meet at Oak Marr on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  This meet will be he a prelims and final meet for the 11 and overs on Friday and Saturday. Let's review the procedures for this type of meet.

FINALS- On Friday and Saturday the top 8 11-12 year olds and the top 16 13 -14 and 15 and overs will return in the evening to swim in the championship finals session.  If you make finals you must show up to swim.  If you fail to show up you will be scratched from the remainder of the meet.  If your intention is to scratch you must do it within 30 minutes after your event ends.  You must talk to a coach before scratching.  Swimmers from the Junior Gold and Senior prep groups will NOT be scratching and if you need to you better make a good argument.


POSITIVE CHECK IN-
 Be aware of the events that you need to check in for, normally 200 and above events. This is normally done before you get in for warm ups and needs to be completed prior to the start of the meet.  THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.  If you are arriving late you can get someone who is there to check you in, but understand this is not the coaches responsibility. Another note on positive check in and this is important if you check in and fail to show you will be scratched from your next event.

WHAT SUIT SHOULD I WEAR-  for the Junior Gold and Senior Prep groups it's time to dust off your good suits and put them to use this weekend.

TID-BITS FOR UPCOMING WEEK.    
  • SLEEP
  • DIET
  • SCHOOL
  • POSITIVE SELF TALK
