Good evening, Torpedo!
This was a really good week we just had. We won at home against Black Mountain and did a great job at the Sprint Distance Meet yesterday in Forest City. Congrats to all swimmers, and thank you to all swimmer and families for a job well done in helping keep these meets running smoothly.
This will be a busy week! We are away on Tuesday and Thursday this week.There will be no practices on Friday, July 20th (morning or evening). Warm ups for both meets will be at 5:30pm, meaning please be ready to enter the water at 5:30pm.
First, on Tuesday, we will be in Marion at the McDowell Recreation Department. If you haven't signed up for the meet, you need to let me know by noon Monday. I will be doing entries at that point and not be doing any late entries. Please park in the church parking lot at
79 Academy St, Marion, NC 28752. My understanding is that the Mariners want to keep the Rec center parking lot open for us to set up tents. If this changes, I will let you all know ASAP. Volunteers may sign up here.
Thursday evening we will be at the Granite Falls Rec (56 Pinewood Rd, Granite Falls, NC 28630) to visit the Granite Falls Sharks. This is always a great end-of-season meet which gives us a good look at how we may fair going into conference on the 28th. After some storms last season, the Rec has asked to not put tents on the deck. My understanding is there will be access to the fields for tent setup. Please be signed up to swim this meet by Wednesday morning. Volunteers to time, etc. may sign up here.
I will be sending out information regarding conference volunteers this week. We are the host team, and we will be in need of a few more volunteers than usual to make the meet run smoothly and efficiently. Be on the lookout for that SignUp Genius shortly.
We also are in need of some parents to assist with our concession stand on Thursday, July 26 against Forest City, and again on Saturday, July 28 for the championship meet. If you are interested in helping out (we could use six or so folks for each date), please email me.
I hope everyone is ready for a great week!
