Good afternoon swim families,

Congratulations to you all for making it through the preliminary days of City Meet! It is a huge accomplishment that our team had one of the fewest number of scratches and missed events!! We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who swam and did your best every single time you hit the water! You all have improved sooooo much from the beginning of the year and your coaches are so proud to have been able to help you along your journey! I also want to shout out the amazing parents we have, between bringing your kids to every practice and every meet, encouraging them and cheering them on, all the way to working and volunteering your limited spare time to make sure these meets are run smoothly not just for your kids but also for everyone else too. We want to thank each and every one of you!

Finals

Tomorrow morning is finals. For those who are new to city meet, the first two days are a race to try and get the lowest time you can. The top 16 fastest times are taken from each event to come back on Saturday and compete against each other for points. The 17 and 18th place swimmers are considered alternates and are able to fill in the top 16 if for any reason those swimmers do not show up. I highly recommend alternates be at clerk of course with their events just in case, I cannot promise they will swim but it is not uncommon that they will. It is a huge accomplishment for anyone to make finals and we are excited to share the results or the swimmer's hard work. Before that, please make sure to remind your swimmers that even if they didn't final, they still swam amazingly and that as long as they did their best, we are proud of them.

Finalists

Please make plans to attend your events you made it. If for any reason you cannot please let a coach know tonight. Especially relays, it is extremely important you attend. Your relay members are counting on you. Attached is a list of all finalists. Also attached are updated final results from Thursday and Friday prelims. 

Warmups

Warmups start at 7:25 tomorrow. Please plan on being there by 7:05. It will be a lot less hectic and fast paced tomorrow so make sure to bring entertainment and food for the day. Also make sure to pay attention and not miss any races. Attached is a list of warmup times.

Please look over the results times for anything I may have missed, after two days at City my eyes are not infallible. If you see any mistakes or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Coach Robbie. Thank you all for an amazing weekend and we are so excited to see all our finalists tomorrow morning at 7 am! 

Thank you and sleep well,
