On Thursday, June 24th, the Giles Jets will host the Raleigh County Aquatics team for our first dual meet of the season. RCA is new to the Association this year, so lets give them a warm welcome in our first meet...and lets win decisively!
Swimmers must arrive at the pool at 4:30 to get checked in and set up. Our warm ups are at 5 pm - 5:15 pm, then the meet will start at 5:30. This is an A meet, so we should be done by around 9 or 9:30.
Swimmers are encouraged to bring warm clothes and several dry towels. The air will cool down fast and we'll need to be dry and warm. Swimmers are encouraged to eat good foods during the day, like good carbs (pasta, fruits), and avoid fatty foods and especially carbonated soft drinks. Fat and carbonation will make it much harder to swim at top efficiency.
The swimmer's events will be posted this week at practice so they can see what they are swimming. Swimmers will be scheduled to swim as many events as possible. Everyone is allowed 4 individual events and two relays - depending on skill level and experience. If a swimmer is scheduled in an event they are not comfortable with, we can always make a change.
Feel free to invite your family and friends. We like lots of cheering and excitement.
See you Thursday - and Let's Go Jets!
