We had a great first swim meet! Go, Hammerheads! 

We had so many top finishes and great races. The coaches, Brittany, and I were all so proud of how well we competed, from the oldest to youngest!  Everyone gave it their all!  Much credit goes to our phenominal coaches. I think our coaching staff is top-notch, and it shows! The kids are so motivated and eager to learn, so many thanks to you, parents, for being so supportive!

I know we're all recovering from our late night last night, but it is time to think about our next meet, which is on MONDAY! We need everyone to RSVP yes or no for the meet on Monday at Somerset. This is a quick turn-around, so please RSVP ASAP. If you know you won't be there, please go ahead and RSVP no. 

THE DEADLINE TO RSVP IS TOMORROW, SATURDAY, AT 3:00PM! 

Here are the meet details: 

Where: Somerset 

3417 Turtle Cove Court 

Marietta, GA 30067 

When: Swimmers must be there at 4:45pm. First-half volunteers check-in at 5:30pm. Second-half volunteers will take over halfway through the meet, time to be determined. Second-half volunteers should plan to start roughly around 7:30pm. Volunteers check in with Erin Diffenderrfer.

What to bring/wear: HW bathing suit or solid blue bathing suit, swim cap, goggles, towel, Hammerhead Awards, CASH FOR CONCESSIONS (They have good concessions like chicken salad, baked potatoes, chicken skewers, watermelon, strawberries with whipped cream, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, & pizza!) 

What to know/do: Drop your swimmer off in the shark tank (formerly known as the bullpen) at 4:45pm. Know your kid's event numbers to ensure they don't miss a race. If a swimmer can't compete, let us know. CHEER LIKE CRAZY! ; ) 

Looking Ahead... Our first home meet is Monday, June 11. We need every family to donate 24 drinks (2 12-packs). You can donate whatever your kids drink, including soft drinks, sport drinks, or water. If you donate soft drinks or sport drinks, please get the 12 oz size so that we can price them all the same. This is the size of a typical can of Coke. Gatorade and Vitamin Water are also readily available in 12 oz. Water typically comes in 16.9 oz or 8 oz. Either is fine. But please get twice as many if you get the small 8 oz. waters. (12 typical 16.9 oz waters = 24 small 8 oz waters) Bring your drink donations to practice or drop them off at my house: 740 Butlers Gate Marietta, GA 30068 Please do this soon to avoid getting extra emails from me! The deadline for drink donations is this Thursday, June 7.
