Hi friends! Meet week 3 is here already! It's a home meet our favorite! Here is what you need to know this week:

Meet info:

- Swimmers report time for this Tuesday is 4:00 as warm ups will begin at 4:30 (Please plan to have your swimmer arrive on time, when swimmers show up late oftentimes Coaches have already made arrangements for another swimmer to fill in for your child, to avoid confusion all together arrive on time :) )

- The meet theme is Blue/Green out so join the coaches in wearing your team shirt or any other Blue/Green you have

- Bullpen- Parents please help us in keeping your kids in the bullpen during the meet, this helps coaches and parent volunteers easily find your child and help them get to their event on time :)

- We have a very exciting coaches relay theme that you won't want to miss so make sure to stay until the end of the meet if possible

- After the meet join the coaches at Felini's pizza (sandy springs location) to celebrate our swimmers

- We will have concessions at the meet for snacks and dinner

- If your child does not have a swim cap they can be purchased by Venmo to @Hammond-Hills-1 for $10 a piece and Coach Nina can give them to your child at practice or before the meet

Darden's delights- Darden's delights will be selling pies, cookies and savory pies again at Wednesday afternoon practice so make sure to check it out!

Thursday morning we will have Time Trials- If your child cannot attend Time trials they should plan to do their time trials Wednesday afternoon if they will be in attendance

Swim-a-thon info- We will not have the Coaches clinic this week as we will be hosting the best tradition, our 4th Annual Swim-A-Thon!!!

- Reminder the swim-a-thon will take place on Thursday please email your sponsor tracker to [email protected] by Wednesday evening or bring it to game day Wednesday morning. Here is the document to track your sponsorships. If your child will not be in attendance for the swim-a-thon they can still be included in the prizes if they get flat donations or per lap donations (swimmers are welcome to come anytime to the pool to swim laps if you are pool members) and email or give their tracker to Coach Nina.

- The complete list of the silent auction will be sent out this week and online bidding will be an option for anyone not able to attend in person

How do sponsors pay?

Venmo "Hammond-Hills-1" and write "swim-a-thon" in the description. You can also write a check to "Hammond Hills Swim and Tennis Club" and give it to us directly.
