RIDGEWAY COMES TO RHODES

The heat sheet is here.
I hope this works!
Let me know if you can't get to it.
Coach Molly

The work crew assignments are here. Please check in with me at the beginning of the meets so I'll know you're on location and aware of your assignment. We always need floaters who are willing to fill in for parents who have last minute logistical issues. Also, I need an announcer for the second half plus someone to run water around to the judges and timers 4 times during the meet. Thanks for being an active part of the infrastructure! Warm ups start at 5 pm.
Swim & Have Fun!

Your help is needed!!!

I have a young man named Joshua, not sure of his last name. I have no form with that name on it, so he is not entered in our database yet. Does anyone know this boy? He is in the 6 & under age group.
Also, does anyone know about Jacob and Lauren Tims? Lauren was at practice this morning, but since she is in the 7 & 8 age group, she could not tell me much information. They do not have a registration form either and are not in our database for the meet on Thursday.
If you know anything about these swimmers, please email me at btwcoach@gmail.com
Thanks!!!!

Suits, Heat Sheets, & Meets

1. Suits - Check with me (Sarah) tomorrow about suits. I still have a few from the main order. Swim & Tri said orders for McLean, Burnette, Tims, McGhee, Rone, Reinhart, Gettings, Kannaday, Leopard, & Rogers should be shipped directly to your home. If I receive any shipments, I will bring them to the pool the next day. I should be able to catch all three workouts at the pool from 8:30 to 10:30. We also have a new in the box boys size 28 jammer with logo for sale $50. If anyone needs one, please see me at the pool.

2. Heat sheets - Heat sheets will be posted on the blog either late, late Wednesday evening or sometime before noon on Thursday. Heat sheets are printed for the scorers, timers, and shepherds, etc. plus we will have one posted for you to mark your swimmer(s). Otherwise you will probably want to print one to for your family to refer to during the meet.

3. Work crew - Several slots are still open for the meet. Find your niche on deck, at the scoring table or behind the concessions stand. See me (Sarah) tomorrow for specific jobs or to register as a floater. If a family has a swimmer in the meet, then at least one parent needs to take an active part in the infrastructure making that meet run smoothly. However, we totally understand if a family has one parent traveling and the remaining parent has multiple siblings who need attention, a grandparent is stepping in, etc.

4. Notification delays - Several of us have noticed a huge time lag between the blog post and the email notifications. Thursdays you may need to check the blog directly to access the heat sheet before you come to the meet with or without a notification. Also, if any weather related issues come up, check the blog to see if anything has posted. Generally, unless the sirens go off or the rain is pelting down, plan to come to the pool.

Swim & Have Fun!

Great First Week!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say - "Way to Go" to all our new Rhodes Swimmers. You all did a great job this week at practice. I know it can be very confusing, exciting, scary, and fun (hopefully) all at the same time! But YOU DID IT! Now the rest of the season will be a breeze!

Thank you to all the parents who helped us get some times for the kids. We appreciated you so much!!!

Lastly, just a reminder that if you are going to miss a meet, please post it in the notebook that will be out every practice on one of the round tables by the guardhouse. That will help us make the relays and other entries correctly!!!

Thanks!
