Rapids!

Thanks for a great day at the pool this morning with a lot of first swims, a lot of best times, and a lot of fun.  For new families, Time Trials can seem chaotic.  However, once you go to a few meets, you get familiar with the cadence.  Which brings us to...

Attached is the current "Ladder."  The coaches will use the final ladder after the B-meet on Monday to set the meet lineup for our first competitive meet on Saturday June 17th. For those unfamiliar, it lists the best time a swimmer has achieved starting with Time Trials.  The coach's use the ladder to build the most competitive team we can for our A-meets.  Every time a swimmer participates in a meet, they have the possibility of improving their place on the ladder.  

This is the last opportunity to change your position on the ladder.  Also, B-Meets are fun, and a great opportunity to keep getting experience at meets.  

VERY IMPORTANT: Please select the events you want to swim at the B-Meet.  Each swimmer can swim 2 events + the IM.  If you did not come to time trials, you can swim more.  Please add a "note" on the page with the fact you missed Time Trials and what other strokes you want to swim.  

If you haven't declared your availability for Saturday June 17th, please do so. NOTE: You just have to declare if you are available.  The coaches will make the lineup, and we will send out who's swimming what on Thursday evening.  

To declare availability (and sign up for volunteer jobs) go to https://gfstrapids.swimtopia.com/swim_meets and click on the appropriate link.  If you need information about signing up, check the Schedule and Signup help page.

Thanks!
