Ready Set GO!

May 4th

Hello Hammerheads

Are you ready to jump into swim season at Harrington Falls? We are ready, set, GO! For starting practice next Monday May 9th. The weather has been amazing, so come dressed ready to swim for evening practice. Practice times can be found on our website. Go ahead and download the app, it is very helpful! We understand spring sports are finishing up, please try to make as many evening practices in the next 2 weeks as possible.

Our Meet and Greet is tomorrow May 4th from 4:30 - 6:30 pm. This event is come and go at the Harrington Falls Clubhouse (12950 Harrington Dr.) This is a great way for swimmers to meet the coaches, ask questions, pick up your swim cap and tattoos ordered at registration, and get fitted for your new team suit by Reddiset before ordering closes on 5/6/22.

Team families must volunteer for 5 volunteer shifts for the season, if you would like to do more, we would love the help! If you and/or your spouse signed up to volunteer you and/or your spouse have been assigned to one of the three volunteer committees. You should have received an email about your volunteer committee at the end of April. If you did not receive an email please let me know.

Where are the Meets on the website? The entire season meets and volunteer opportunities are LIVE now. You can sign up under the tab called "Signup Calendar". You can go ahead and sign up for as many of your volunteer shifts as you would like!

What does it mean to "Declare" for a Meet? Next to each Meet there is a button called "Meet Entry" if you click on that button you will see "Your family swim meet status" here you can say you are "attending this meet" or "not attending this meet". You must do this for each swimmer for each meet. SO saying "yes" or "no" to swimming in a meet is "declaring" you have till 48 hours before the meet to declare, the meet will close at that time.

How do I sign up for my volunteer shifts? Next to each Meet is the "Job Sign UP" button you will see jobs available for your committee and then there are several non-committee open jobs too.

New this year we are offering Monday and Wednesday summer evening practices. These for dual-working families who still want to participate in swim team, and for swimmers who may have another week long camp (i.e. VBS, baseball, horseback camp etc.) that don't want to miss an entire week of practice. These have limited sign up number. You only have to RSVP for these practices IF YOU ARE ATTENDING.

There is a slight time change for our Mock Meet on 5/25. Two of our coaches have siblings graduating from middle school that day, and for other families with graduating middle schoolers we are going to start 30 minutes later than previously scheduled. Please arrive for the Mock Meet at 4:30 not 4:00pm. We will start individual pictures at 4:30pm. We should be ready to take our team picture by 5:15 and NOW start the Mock Meet at 5:30! I will adjust the times on the website. Since the mock meet is only our team it shouldn't last more than 2 hours. I made the mistake when entering in shifts for the Mock Meet in creating a 2nd Half shift. The Mock Meet will go so quickly there really isn't a need for a 2nd Half Shift. Below is a list of names of people who signed up to volunteer for the 2nd half shift of the Mock Meet. If you will each let me know if you want to change and volunteer starting at 5:30 at the Mock Meet (1st Shift) , or if you want to volunteer at another meet.
