Guppy Meet Info needed ASAP!
You have probably noticed on the blogspot this event called “2010 Guppy Meet” and wondered what that was all about.
The Guppy Meet, unlike our Thursday night dual meets, is a meet where members of all the Memphis Summer Swim League teams compete against one another. The reason why this one is so special is that it is designed ONLY for 10 & under swimmers who do not swim faster than a specific time in the various events. It is a grand opportunity to let your swimmer shine. Ribbons will be given to the top 16 in each event, a special award will be given to the top 5 swimmers in each age group, everyone goes home with a goody bag and those who break the standard will receive a standard breaker ribbon.
Now that we have completed our first meet and have some times on everyone, we can provide a report that tells us who is eligible to swim in that meet. Last year, we sent 20 swimmers and they performed very well bringing home a 2nd place plaque for the team. It was quite an exciting day!
The meet will be held at the Ric Nuber YMCA on Quince on Sunday June 27 (next weekend). Warmups begin at 7:00am and the meet starts at 8:00am. We will be submitting entries on Sunday the 20th with additions and corrections being sent on Monday the 21st. The entry fee is $20. Checks will be made out to Rhodes Swim Team, so we can provide one check to the YMCA.
Attached you will find the invitation, standard breaker information and an eligibility report. We encourage everyone on the attached sheet to swim in this meet. The more people we have attend, the more fun it will be.
Please send us back an email tomorrow letting us know if you are interested or call with questions. Thanks so much!!

Racquet Club @ Rhodes - Heat Sheet
Hi Team!
Attached please find the heat sheet for tomorrow night. Warm-ups will begin promptly at 5:00pm with the older groups swimming first. The young swimmers will merely do a few laps to prevent them from tuckering out early.
There will be a positive check-in at the announcers table. If your swimmer does not sign-in by 5:30pm we will assume that they are unavailable for relays (unless of course we already know that they will be a late arrival). This will help prevent confusion among relay team members, parent volunteers who are graciously assisting in the lineup and clerk of course.
The winner of last week’s spirit award (in the form of a Sports Authority gift card) is Claire Sentilles for her extravagant costume. Congratulations Claire!
The little ones have a chance to win a Ben & Jerry’s gift card for their team spirit as well.
Let’s hope for some good weather. I can’t wait to see everyone swim.

Colonial comes to Rhodes
Many hours are spent behind the scenes getting ready for a meet. Please help us by signing up to work the meets in the position you feel most comfortable. We especially need help with age groups, concessions, and a couple of folks to learn how to keep score.

Heat Sheet for tonight's meet against Bluff City
Note: Please read all 3 Bluff City posts below...especially the initial one about parking.
Hi team!
Click on link to the right to find your heat sheet that will tell you what event, heat and lane your swimmers are in tomorrow night. Please arrive a few minutes early to the meet. We will have the 13-`19 year olds warm up first, then 9-12 year olds and lastly 8 & unders. This will give us time to mark up the 8 & unders with their heat and lane information on their arm.
Before your swimmer's event, please have them report to their coach. For 8 & unders, see Coach Kris, 9-10 and Seniors, report to Coach Carla and 11-14 year olds report to Coach Irene.
The objective of this first meet is to learn the protocol of a swim meet, have fun and display sportsmanship. We cheer for our teammates as well as say 'good job' to those swimming around us. We are respectful of our host team and we pick up after ourselves.
At Rhodes we are very thankful that we have great parents who help out and fantastic kids in the pool and around the deck.
See you at the meet!

From Coach Carla re: Bluff City
Hi Rhodes!
Our first meet is here! I cannot believe it.
We swim against Bluff City Blue Fins Thursday night. Warmups begin at 5pm with a meet start time of 6pm. The Bluefins swim at the Ric Nuber YMCA at 5885 Quince Memphis, TN 38119 directly across from the Licterman Center. Parking is limited. It may be a good idea to arrive early since they typically ask that we park in a grassy field just southwest from the facility. Signs will direct you.
They will have a concessions area, however it is always a good idea to have water and/or sports drinks and healthy snacks like fig newtons available for your athletes.
It's a good idea to bring chairs and playing cards or some other form of entertainment while your children are waiting to swim. While we do have monitors for the various age groups, please help us by reminding your children of their event. If they wouldn't mind chatting with one of the coaches before and after their swims, we will be able to establish a good routine.
Thanks so much! Go Rhodes!

Thurs pm Drop Off & Parking Info from Bluff City
Here's a heads up regarding the parking situation at the Y tomorrow night. Just be aware that there will be congestion, but looks like they have worked through it. The overflow parking is a quick 5 minute walk from the pool.
from Bluff City Blue Fins: "I’ve just talked to the director of the Y, and they will be having camp pick up at the same time we will be arriving for the meet tomorrow night. They are going to set up two lanes for traffic as you turn in to the lot and go to the right- one for camp pick up, and one for swimmer drop off. There will be no parking in this area until after 6. They will have personnel and signs to direct cars. Overflow parking will be in the field off of Lynnfield as in the past. There will also be signs directing folks that way. Y security officers will patrol the area.
Also Coldstone Creamery (at Park and Ridgeway) will be staying open late tomorrow night for anyone who wants to celebrate with ice cream. Triple winners will get a free small sized serving!"
