Marlins!

A couple of important deadlines are coming up!  The last day to order personalized swim caps is tomorrow (4/22) and sign ups for the 4/27 March Madness Silly Relays will close on Weds (4/24) @ 5PM.  If you selected "No Meets" and want to try the Time Trials, I'm happy to flip your status back and forth.

PERSONALIZED CAPS: DEADLINE TOMORROW (4/22)

If you'd like to order personalized swim caps, you can buy them in our Team Store here for $30 per pair. Each order comes with two identical caps. You can add ONE name that will appear on both caps. The name can be First, Last, or a Nickname, but it will be the same on both caps. The cap will say exactly what you type in the form, if you put something like "John/Mary" both caps will say "John/Mary" it will not be John on one cap and Mary on the other. Orders must be placed by April 22nd.

APRIL 27 "MARCH" MADNESS TIME TRIALS AND SILLY RELAYS: SIGN UP DEADLINE WEDS (4/24) sign up swimmers here, volunteers here.

Please join us for our “March” Madness Silly Relays and Time Trials! This is a great opportunity for younger swimmers to get an easy introduction to racing since it will be a small group of swimmers and low pressure. They can swim whatever events they want or just get a donut and cheer on their friends. If you have a Jr. Marlin, we can have an older swimmer join them in a lane to help them along. For the experienced swimmers, it's a nice way to kick off the summer season and dust off those cheering skills.

Time Trials are run like meets, however there are no disqualifications for stroke errors and the kids swim with mixed gender/ages based on ability. Swimmers have the opportunity to swim 1-4 individual strokes of their choosing or just the relays. It’s a very low key way to introduce kids to racing.

The really fun part will be silly basketball themed relays such as traveling (pulling on the lane line), pushing a basketball across the pool, and a jersey exchange. The relays will be mixed gender and age so it will be a good way for the whole team to bond. Swimmers are encouraged to sign up for all 3 relays.

Please sign up here by April 24th @5PM for events and here for volunteer jobs. If you only have Jr. Marlins you are exempt from volunteering, but if you have any swimmers who are not Jr. Marlins, please volunteer. If you have not signed up for a meet before, you can find instructions here and please don’t forget to hit save on your entries.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Thanks!
