Coaches,

I am attaching the Entry List - All Teams to this email.  Please confirm that I have loaded your latest entry file.  I have also attached the anticipated timeline.  A few teams have some young swimmers in the Open session.  I would appreciate it if we could move those swimmers to the 11&U session where possible.  Let me know if we can move anyone.

 

Here is what the days look like for next weekend. 

Friday 4:15-8:00

Saturday 8:30-7:00

Sunday 8:30- 6:00

 

We have almost every Eastern Shore team coming to the meet, so I think that starting warm-ups for the little kids makes sense at 8:30 am to accommodate those coming from far away.

This also keeps the Senior swimmers swimming more towards late afternoon.  I have also put 7 minute breaks after each set of events.  The only option would be to combine two sessions and not have breaks, but I think having 2 ½ hour sessions for the different age groups with opportunities to warm up and warm down is better.  It gives more of a championship environment since we are not prelims/finals.

 

Here is a summary of the sessions:

FRIDAY

Session 1

Warm-up 4:15 -4:55

Session: 5:00-8:00

 

SATURDAY

Session 2 (11&Under)

Warm-up 8:30 -9:05

Session: 9:10-11:25

 

Session 3 (12-14)

Warm-up 11:30-12:10

Session 12:15-2:50

 

Session 4 (Open)

Warm-up 2:50-3:30

Session 3:35-7:00

 

SUNDAY

Session 5 (11& Under)

Warm-up 8:30 – 9:05

Session: 9:10-11:20

 

Session 6 (12-14)

Warm-up 11:30-12:10

Session:12:15-2:25

 

Session 7 (Open)

Warm-up 2:35-3:20

Session: 3:25-6:00

 

Thanks

Rob

GBSA please note the info below. We are responsible for a timer in the Saturday and Sunday 12-14 year olds sessions. Please make sure we have a parent or two to cover these 

Thank you

The first Sunday Open should have been Saturday Open.  Sorry for the typo

Coaches,

I am attaching the psych sheet and the updated entry list.  I will send warm-ups and the program tomorrow.    Below is the timer request.  We are going to run ONE timer per lane.  Those teams that do not have an assigned timer, if you can get a timer that would be great.  THE 400 FREE, 400 IM and MILE will need to provide their own timers.

 

Here is the timer request:

TEAM	Friday Evening	Saturday 11&U	Saturday 12-14	Sunday Open	Sunday 11&U	Sunday 12-14	Sunday Open
APEX	0	1	1	0	1	1	0
ACA	1	1	0	2	1	1	1
CAC	0	1	1	0	1	1	0
FCY	1	0	0	1	0	0	1
FSC	4	3	4	3	4	3	3
FAST	3	2	3	2	2	2	4
GBSA	0	0	1	0	0	1	0
GMAC	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
MAS	1	2	1	1	1	2	1
ROCK	0	1	0	0	1	0	0
HAWK	1	0	0	0	1	0	0
SMD	1	0	1	1	0	1	1
SPRC	1	1	1	2	1	0	2
WST	1	0	1	0	0	1	0

GBSA I am sitting on deck with the kids at the Fox meet right now. We have 8 swimmers here. As you can see in the email

Below I notified you on Wednesday that we need a timer today and tomorrow for the 12-14 year old sessions. And I have no one here to time!

To me as a coach in the LSC for GBSA for 34 years this is an embarrassment. If we are not going to contribute at meets we attended when we are needed to contribute then there is no sense in attending.  

I really hope there is at least one parent early for the timers meeting tomorrow, preferably more than one to make up for today. You can all communicate and split the sessions with parents here until the end taking second half, etc.  But I am insisting that if we are told to help run a meet that GBSA will do so. Please don’t make me come looking for people again tomorrow.
