Hi Heatwaves,

Our Time Trials/Mock Meet is Saturday, May 3rd.   This meet is an informal/practice meet to start the swim season. It allows the swimmers and families to understand and see the basics of how a dual swim meet would go. It provides an opportunity for the swimmers to get a starting time for their events to see how they progress over the season. Parents & volunteers are shown how to help run the meet smoothly, so it is successful for everyone. There are no relays, only individual events, so it goes much faster than normal. 

Coach Nanci will not be at this meet because her son is graduating college (Congrats Gabe!).  She will not be a practice Thursday or Friday this week.  We have older swimmers running practice with adult supervision.  We leave it to the parents to choose to bring kids to practice or not.      

Usually the swimmers will go to see Coach Nanci before meets to check in and warm-up, then go see her after their events to get feedback (tattoos & fruits chews too).  Please keep this in mind and remind your children to check in with Coach before warm-ups and after their events for future meets.

For this meet, volunteer signup is now OPEN online. Please here to signup on Swimtopia and pick your volunteer job by noon Friday, May 2nd!  Moving forward for meets, jobs will be assigned by me in advance.  Stay tuned!  

Volunteers are essential for each meet. We are a small team and need your participation in every meet (at least one parent or both parents are needed).  This mock meet will be a good opportunity to find the right job for you and/or see the jobs in action.  

Parents - The Heatwaves Board members plan to be at practice on Thursday at 5:30PM to hold a Parents Q&A session.  Please come by with any questions about meets, jobs, etc.

Feel free to reach out (email, text, call) with questions on signups.

Thank you!!
