City Meet Info - Directions & Markings

Dear Swim Team Families,

Attached is the work crew for the City Meet on Saturday. Each family should find their name somewhere to work on Saturday. Thanks in advance for your help. It is a big job getting enough timers together to run and meet and we are fortunate to have families willing to help out. It is the best place to see your kids swim so enjoy the view!!! Swimmers should be marked like this.

We are having an optional practice out at St. George's tomorrow at 5:00. The practice is mainly for those swimmers that need to see the venue to feel comfortable Saturday and for those that have never swum there before. It should last 30-45 minutes. Directions are here. Campus map is here.

The end of the season celebration party is Sunday at the pool at 5:30. It should be a lot of fun!!!

See you soon and GO RHODES!!!

City Meet

Hi Team!

City Meet is here!

Attached please find the meet invitation for this weekend's big meet. Held at St George's in Collierville (1880 Wolf River Blvd), City Meet warm-ups for the morning session will begin at 7am and end at 7:45am. Competition start time is 8:00am. Warm-ups for the afternoon session will not begin before noon and the afternoon competition will not begin before 1:00pm. All 8 & unders and 9/10 boys swim in the morning session. 9/10 girls swim in the afternoon with all 11&ups.

For your viewing pleasure, check out the psych sheet to see how your athletes are seeded.

We will have an afternoon practice Friday at St George's so that your children will be familiar with the pool. Once I have been given a time slot, I will be able to let you know.

Last year our reserved area was on the lawn just outside the pool doors and clerk of course. Feel free to bring tents to setup on Friday. We will sit together as a team with as much red and black as we can find from our closets.

More info to come. Stay tuned.

End of Year Info

The season is drawing to an end very quickly. It's hard to believe that this time next week we'll be getting ready for our end of the year celebration!!

But, before then we have several exciting events this week.

First, we need several volunteers for the aquathon on Tuesday morning (rain delay til Wednesday). This event is during regular practice times and the swimmers love to see how many laps they can swim!! The limit is 100 and we need several parent volunteers to keep track of the numbers. Please let Katie (sentilles@comcast.net) know if you can help. The job comes with coffee and donuts from CAFE ECLECTIC!! Yum. If you can't stay and count, we also need fruit, juice, milk and cups for our hard working swimmers. Again, please email Katie the items you are bringing and the time you plan to deliver the food and drinks.

Checks for the aqua-thon should be made out to Rhodes Swim Team and you can give them to any coach or league rep. I have attached the forms.

A few other things- we will have practice Friday afternoon at the St. George's pool so the swimmers can check it out before the big meet on Saturday. Time TBA.

City Meet is Saturday. Get PUMPED!!!

Sunday is the end of the season celebration. BBQ and beverages provided by the team!! Cake and awards too! Feel free to bring a side item. The party starts at 5:30.

Have a great week!!

Aqua-thon on Tuesday, July 13th

Swim Team Families,

Get pumped up for the Aqua-thon which will take place at the pool during regularly scheduled practice times next Tuesday. Let's see how many laps your swimmer can swim to earn money for the team. In addition to providing our awesome coaches with a nice end of the season treat, we hope to raise enough money to purchase the cool timing system that the BCBF brought to our pool last week. It costs approximately $2,000 so if each swimmer raises $40.00 we will be able to accomplish both goals!! Let's have a great aqua-thon!!!

Information and pledge sheet are attached. Contact Sarah, Katie or one of our coaches with questions. We will need volunteers to count laps and bring breakfast for our hungry swimmers next week. Let us know what you can do to help out.

Thanks again for being the most supportive swim team parents and GO RHODES!!!!

CITY MEET JULY 17th... & no Practice 7/5

IMPORTANT NOTE: NO SWIM PRACTICE ON MONDAY, JULY 5th!!!

City Meet will be held at St George's in Collierville on July 17th. This is the meet that we have all been looking forward to! Members from all clubs in the league will be participating. Medals will be awarded for 1st - 8th place and ribbons for 9th - 16th in each event, plus high point trophies in the various age groups. It always proves to be an exciting meet!

Rhodes earned 2nd place in the large team division last year and we would love to improve on that this year. Relays are worth double points, so the more swimmers we have the merrier.

Coaches need to submit entries by Monday, July 5th at noon, so we need to know by Saturday, July 3rd if you are able to attend. NO LATE ENTRIES ARE ACCEPTED. The league will not allow us to enter any swimmer after Monday, July 5th, plus we do not get a refund for no shows.

We look forward to all of you signing up!

Swim and have fun!
