WHAT TO SWIM

On Monday mornings, Lemore Fritz will sit at the data tables (baby pool area) to register which two strokes each swimmer will be swimming in the Monday evening B meet. Swimmers should decide which 2 strokes they will swim by the end of their Monday practice and let Mrs. Fritz know before they leave the pool.

If swimmers miss Monday AM practice, the swimmer or parent is requested to email vahillstidalwavedata@gmail.com by noon with the swimmer’s name and two events. This will make it easier on the clerk of course, and cut down on the printing of wasted time cards. It should also cut down on how long the B meets take.

Swimmers can swim 2 strokes (IM counts as a stroke) in which the coaches have deemed they are legal AND in which they can make it the length of the pool (and back if a 50). The majority of our 8Us and 6Us will swim just free or just free and back. IMs are for swimmers 9 and up and the coaches have final say if they think your swimmer is not ready to swim the IM yet. 

Swimmers need to follow Coach Katie’s rules for a B meet:

  • If your swimmer only if legal in one or two strokes, that is what your swimmer will swim at the next B Meet, regardless of whether or not they participated in the A Meet.
  • If your swimmer is legal in 3 or 4 strokes and did not participate in the June 15 A Meet, pick 2 strokes to swim at the B Meet.
  • If your swimmer is legal in 3 or 4 strokes and only swam 1 stroke in the June 15 A Meet, pick 2 different strokes to swim at the B Meet.
  • If your swimmer is legal in 4 strokes and swam two strokes at the A Meet, then your swimmer swims the other two strokes at the B Meet.
  • If your swimmer is legal in 3 strokes and swam two strokes at the A Meet, then your swimmer can pick one of the A Meet strokes and the stroke not swum.

CONCESSIONS

They will have burgers, pizza and other concessions available throughout the meet.
