Dinner at Roosters in Springhurst after both meets. 

3. My own shout-out to Charlie Huber who cleaned up A LOT of clothes, umbrellas, and other items from the lawn after the pool was almost empty on Monday evening. 

(Also, there is an overload of towels, clothes, dolls, and umbrellas in the lost and found at the pool. Probably worth a glance through the bucket)

4. We are collecting pictures for the end of the year slide show (And also seeking a volunteer to assemble said slide show). Please be sure to submit pictures of your kiddos and groups to: [email protected]

OK--new families--how to know if your children swim in quals on July 11th (10 and Under) or 12th (11 and up):

1. Your swimmer(s) must have swam in two swim meets to be eligible.

2. Your child has to make LSA 2 standard times.  If you look at the top of the results for each event, you can see the standard time for that event. If your child has a time that is equal or faster than that time, and they swim in at least two meets, they will be eligible for quals. 

3. We do not swim relays on quals, but we do at champs. We also enter extra names at quals on the relays in case we need to make substitutions. Please be aware of this and that your child might be asked to come prepared to swim (but might not swim). 

4. From quals-- the top 12 swimmers swim at champs.  HOWEVER, if your child is swimmer 13 OR 14 in the results, they should plan to come to champs and might swim. I ran the clerk of course last year and several times we could have put a 13th or 14th swimmer in the race, but they were not present. 

Champs is Sunday, July 16th at Owl Creek. More information will come next week.
