SCHEDULE

4:45pm – Swimmers Arrive

5:00-5:20 pm – VA Hills Warmup

6:00pm – Start Time

EVENTS

We will have a limited amount of IMs and put them first to make sure they happen. Do not sign up for IM unless you are firmly legal in all for strokes. An Individual Medley is 100 meters with the individual swimmer swimming a 25 M of each stroke in this order Fly – Back – Breast – Free.

SIGN UP FOR IMs

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.

Now that we have had a full week of morning practice, if your 8 & Under swimmer is swimming in one of Coach Katie’s lanes (any lane except lane 1), they are ok to swim either free or back or both at the B Meet

Also, 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 Lemore 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. However 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.

FOOD

The Wave Cafe will be open during the B meet, selling snacks and drinks and pizza. We also have TWO food trucks available:

KUSH – Chef Ali is back with the famous Kush food truck. You definitely want to try the shawarma wraps, falafel platter, chicken tenders, and loaded fries.  Everyone will be hungry on Monday, so pre-order:
