Hi Devil Rays Families,

What a great first week we had.  It was great to see old friends and meet our new swimmers and their families. We are so glad you are here.

Time Trials

It is time for everyone to let us know if your swimmer is attending time trials or not.  This is called declaring or declining your swimmer.  Please follow the directions "How To Sign Up For A Meet" below. Each swimmer can enter 2 races max for time trials.  If you have questions about your swimmer and what races they should enter please email Coach Lino. The deadline to declare you swimmer is midnight Tuesday, June 2nd.  

Volunteer jobs are now open for time trials.  If your child is swimming you are required to volunteer.  Please sign up for a role when you declare your swimmer.  There will be plenty of experienced parents to help our new parents with jobs.  We will go over what the meet jobs are at the parent meeting on Wednesday.  

Time trials will be June 6th. All swimmers are to check in at 7:15 am, warm ups will begin at 7:30 am, and time trials will begin at 8 am.  This is a short meet, it is a great opportunity for swimmers to see what a meet is about and participate in friendly competition with their friends and teammates.

Parent Meeting

The mandatory parent meeting is this Wednesday, June 3rd at 6pm.  There will be a new parent meeting directly following the parent meeting.  This is just for regular team families.  Pre-team families will have a separate meeting once pre-team begins.

Officiating

If you are still interested in being a stroke and turn official, there is one more training on June 9th.  Please email [email protected] if you'd like to participate and I'll forward you the link.  

Officials will be meeting after the parent meeting on June 3rd, trained officials be on the look out for a separate email. If you'd like more information about being an official please stop by and our head official, Rob, is happy to answer any questions or hesitations you may have.
