Please use the link below and join our team on the Remind app. The coaches and I will use this as our way of communicating with swimmers and parents for things such as weather updates, changes to practices, announcements/reminders, etc. Please note you will need to download the Remind app to sign up.

Time Trials/Mock Meet
Our time trials/mock meet vs Lakemont is this Saturday. All swimmers need to be at the pool at 7:15 am for warm-ups. Lakemont will be arriving at 7:30 am. We need to start no later than 8 am as the pool opens at 10 am for the membership.
Please wear your team suit and cap (set to arrive on June 9th) to time trials.
We still need a volunteer for the position of "Order of Finish". It is a very simple job as it is basically just a place judge for the heats. This is a new required position by the league therefore it will have to be filled for the dual meets. The sign-up genius link to volunteer is below:

Post Time Trials Breakfast
We are still in need of a few items for our post time trials breakfast. If you are able to donate or help out with setting up food/cleaning up, please use the link below.

Team T-Shirts/Towels/Suits
We still have team t-shirts, towels, and/or suits that have not been picked up yet. I will be at the pool every after afternoon from 5-7 pm for the rest of the week to hand out items. Friday is the last day to collect your items. Any t-shirts, etc that are left after Friday will be placed in a bag and set on the clubhouse porch for you to pick up.
A HUGE thank you to Carrie Pitchford, Lisa Wise, and Katy Pagano for their hard work as our apparel committee. The t-shirts and towels look amazing!
Home Meet vs Bedford (the volunteer sign-up will be sent out in another email)
We will have our first home meet on Tuesday, June 13 against Bedford. This is a very large team so deck space and chairs will be limited. It might be a good idea for you to bring a chair for your or your family to use. Swimmers also can bring items to keep them busy between events (cards, coloring items, etc). Please note that any items brought to a swim meet are the responsibility of the swimmer and the swimmer's family.
All QH swimmers need to be at the pool by 4:45 pm for warm-ups. The meet will start promptly at 6 pm. I was hoping to run all of the 6 and under events first, but due to the computer program used for meet entries that will not be possible.
Our meet will run as follows:
7-8 100 yard medley relay through 15-18 200 yard medley
6-under 15 yard freestyle through 15-18 50 yard freestyle
6-under 15 yard backstroke through 15-18 50 yard backstroke
6-under 15 yard breaststroke through 15-18 50 yard breaststroke
7-8 25 yard butterfly through 15-18 50 yard butterfly
7-8 100 yard freestyle relay through 15-18 200 freestyle relay
In the event of inclement weather, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE MEET. If the swim meet is delayed, canceled, or rescheduled parents will be notified by myself or the coaches via the Remind app. If you leave during inclement weather and the meet resumes without your child, it causes a lot of unnecessary problems for the coaches and parent volunteers to adjust the relays, etc. Also, if you are a volunteer and leave the meet we will have no one working your position.
