Hello Everyone,

I hope you've had an enjoyable long weekend. This is your next round of reading material during this busy time as we ramp up to our first meet this week.

> PRACTICE:

We have practice tomorrow morning. Check the practice schedule tab for times...

Practice Schedule - LONGLAKE MARLINS (swimtopia.com)

ALSO - CAMP KIDS > Swimmers that need to practice early due to camp, come to the 8am practice - try to be on the deck and checked in with a Coach at least 5 minutes early so we can determine the lane(s) we will need and coach coverage.

>> SWIMMER CHECK IN (declaring your meet attendance). 

Thank you to those who have checked in to let us know if your swimmer will be attending the meet on this Thursday. We have had about half do so - the cut off for giving us this information is tomorrow (Tuesday, May 31st) at Noon. PLEASE GET THIS DONE - you can do it on the website or on the Swimtopia app. It takes 1 minute, seriously, 1 minute - you're online right now - hey, just go ahead and do it right now if you haven't already  ; )

^ Click on Meet Entry box next to June 2nd meet detail.

>>> If you're this far down and haven't checked in your swimmer please go back one space, do not pass go, do not collect $200, seriously, it will take you 1 minute to check in your swimmers. Then continue reading...

>>>> For those new to our swim meets, or those that want a refresher or if you're just interested in reading about competition swimming - there has been a lot of time spent preparing a lot of notes for you. Go to the website, with cursor right above Marlins Swim Team Info tab, go down and click on Resources. There is a ton of information here. Go down about 20% of the way to start hitting lots of info from swimmer nutrition and medical info to definitions and stroke details (sections 4 & 5). THE MAIN THING FOR THIS WEEK for those who are new or what refreshing is section 6, about 80% of the way down, an intentionally colorful section that tells you what you need to know for the swim meet. PLEASE READ SWIM MEETS 101.

>>>>> We still need some volunteers for this week's meet. If you have not signed up for a volunteer shift please do that now - same place as checking in swimmers and it's also a quick process.

>>>>>> Tomorrow, your next info round will be sent and will be all the details on specific meet logistics including times, locations, directions, etc. .... and me yelling for additional volunteers if they aren't all filled today  : )()

THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO - GO MARLINS!
