8 & Under Mock Meet
Hello Wahoo Families!
Today during the 8 & Under swim practice (5:15-5:45pm) we will be doing a Mock Meet! This will be a great way to introduce the culture of swim meets, get more familiar with race starts, and get them excited and ready to race on Sunday! During this practice they will get to practice what it is like to compete in a freestyle race. While they are not racing, they will cheer on their teammates!
NOTE: It is a JRAC League rule that Swimmers be able to swim a 25 meter lap in 1:00 min or less with out assitance in Meets.
If you have a Swimmer who is not yet able to cross the pool without help or a kickboard this is a great opportunity for them to observe how the meets work, cheer for their teammates and eat Kona Ice!!!
After the Mock Meet Coaches will reach out to families if any Swimmers currently signed up should be withdrawn from this Meet in order to comply with JRAC League rules.
RAIN PLAN for MOCK MEET:
If we are rained out today, 6/11, we have been given some time at the end of the Duck Dive on 6/12.
Timeline of events for the Duck Dive are as follows
9:45 duck relay races
10:00 Big splash
10:20 Duck Dive for winning ducks-prizes
Once all ducks picked for prizes the 8 and under swimmers are welcome to practice their dives of the blocks and swim their lap. 3 lanes will be set up from the relay races already.
This will be esspecially helpful for our new to Swim Team Swimmers!
Happy Friday, Wahoos!
Coaches Abbey, Erica & Molly
