Congratulations to our Bolts on a great win against Poinsettia! Our swimmers were incredible and so many Bolts swam races for the very first time! Thank you to all of the volunteers and parents who toiled in the hot sun to make this meet possible; we could not do this without you and you are very appreciated!

Our next meet is AT HOME on Thursday against Wellington Green; here are some notes about preparing for this upcoming meet:

1. Declare your swimmer for the meet by Saturday at midnight. NEW INFO: In the “Comments” section on Swimtopia on the same page where you declare your swimmer for the meet, you may state your specific requests about your swimmer’s event(s), and how many events they’d like to swim, etc. This does not guarantee that you will 100% get everything you request, but it will help to communicate your preferences to the coaches as they select events for your child. (Comments are optional) Note: Relays are explicitly based on established times from past meets and are seeded according to speed and number of available swimmers.
2. Coaches meet on Sunday to place swimmers into events after receiving these comments and swimmer declarations. By Monday, you will be able to go into Swimtopia to view your swimmers’ events. If there is any concern or question about the events they have been assigned, please contact our Coaching Director Brooke Teague 864-350-8108. Heat sheets are finalized by Wednesday and we cannot make changes after that time.

Do Not Leave the EMAIL yet! A couple more things.

Ice Ice Baby - It’s a home meet and we need some ice. If you last name begins with A-H, drop off a 10lb. Bag of ice to the concessions team by 4 PM on Thursday. Like seriously folks, 4 PM!

well nuts, let’s chat about food allergies. We have some smaller kids (and bigger kids) that are severely allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. As a tent mom and as an allergy mom, I am asking pretty please with only sugar on top that you keep any food with nuts away from the swim tents. You can keep at your chairs or whatever works best. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO AWESOME.
