Wow!!!  Last night was absolutely crazy!  Swim meets can be long, but holding our first meet of the season while we're still figuring things out, against a huge team was extra long and extra wild.  Our swimmers did great!!!  All of our many volunteers were completely amazing - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! 

And, a special apology to our backstroke exhibition swimmers and families...  We are so, so sorry about the last minute change to the meet schedule.  Catoosa and Cumberland leadership had to make a hard decision when we could see that we were going to run out of daylight -- which is our limiter since we don't have pool or deck lights.  Please know that we are working with Catoosa to figure out how to avoid a repeat of this situation when they return to our pool on July 6th.  Catoosa is by far the largest team that we will be swimming this season.  We do not anticipate similar problems with Ridgeside or the Waterdogs. 

Now, on to the next events...  We have three important meets coming up:

• The Pink Meet is tomorrow morning (6/10) at Stuart Heights Pool.  If you signed up, we'll see you for 7am warm-ups and an 8am meet start.  Stuart Heights has not posted heat sheets for this event, but they will be available for purchase at the meet.  Feel free to share with other families if you'd prefer not to purchase your own.
• Ridgeside @ CYF is Monday (6/12) at 5:30 (with warm-ups at 4:45).  4pm Sunday is the deadline to RSVP (whether you will be there or not) and sign up to volunteer.  We defeated Ridgeside when we swam them last year, and we're hoping for a repeat victory!
• CYF @ Cleveland Waterdogs is Thursday (6/15) at 6:00 (with warm-ups at 5:15).  4pm Wednesday is the deadline to RSVP and sign up to volunteer.  Please be aware that the drive to the Waterdogs' pool takes about 45 minutes, and they do not have a concession stand. 

Go Cumberland!
