Hi everyone!

As you know, the regular season is coming to an end and championship season is quickly approaching! Monday 7/8 is 11&up qualifications and Wednesday 7/10 is 10&under qualifications.

In order to compete in the qualification meets, your swimmer must have swam in at least 2 meets and have certain qualifying times (I have attached the file of times in this email). If your swimmer either 1) has not competed in at least two meets or 2) does not have qualifying times in certain events, we will be offering a time trial in place of Tuesday night's swim practice. This is not a chance for swimmers to better times they have already qualified for, but rather an opportunity for swimmers to qualify in events that they have not yet swam or haven’t qualified for yet. 

We will create a sign up on Swimtopia if you are interested. We will also need some help to run this, so if you are willing to help we would greatly appreciate it :) we expect to need 4-6 timers and two stroke-turn judges.

We've attached all the results from previous meets so that you can check your swimmer’s times and compare them to the qualifying times to determine what events they might need to swim. Swimmers can only do a maximum of 3 events in the time trial. The qualifying time standards are attached as well. 

If you know your child has already qualified in several events, or if your child is satisfied with the events they have already, do not feel obligated to come to the time trial -- in those cases we would actually encourage you to not sign up. This is meant to be an opportunity for swimmers who might not otherwise be able to come to quals to get a qualifying time. We want it to run as quickly as possible. 

We apologize for this being last minute, but we figured many would benefit from having this. Thank you and go dolphins!!
