Meet This Saturday
This Saturday, 2/7 HOME vs. Harrison.
Please arrive by 8am for our warm ups. This is our final regular season meet!
If you cannot attend, please notify me ASAP!
Reminders: Swimmers are to remain on deck for the entire meet in uniform (NO bake sale until AFTER the meet!!) Make sure you eat a good breakfast-it's our last chance for fast times to be entered for Championships!
Avoid the DQ!
Please review the following information with your swimmer-we want to avoid unnecessary disqualifications!
1. NO flip turns in the 100 IM
2. Do not stand up in the shallow end during a race
3. In relays, wait for the swimmer ahead of you to touch the wall before you dive in!
4. In the butterfly and breaststroke, you need to touch the wall with TWO hands AT THE SAME TIME!
5. Backstroke flip turns: only ONE free pull is allowed, then you must flip and push off ON YOUR BACK!
6. Butterfly kick must be two legs together kicking-no flutter kick like in freestyle!
7. Breaststroke kick must be the only kick used-no flutter kick- the kick involves the "frog" kick then a glide.
8. The only time you can flip in the 200 IM is during Backstroke to backstroke, and freestyle to freestyle legs ONLY.
9. On the breaststroke pull out, you can only do ONE pull then ONE kick, then your head must surface and then you can begin the stroke.
10. Wait for the starter to say "take your mark" then wait for the "Beep!" Tune everything else out!
11. Backstrokers must finish on his or her back at the wall.
And remember:"If you do it in practice, you'll do it in a meet!"
