Week 6: Our Last Dual Meet!
First, a quick reminder – no practice or teen night tomorrow on the 4th of July! Business as usual on Tuesday.
This week is our last dual meet of the season and we’re at home! Lionsgate is a BIG team – a little bigger than us – so we are preparing to swim our best. When assigning entries this week, coaches will balance swimmer preferences with entries that can best help the team win!
Home Meet Details + GLOW Party
Swimmers Arrive: 4:30pm
Meet Begins: 5:30pm
Mills Farm spectator seating is on the north (waterslide) side of the pool as well as just outside the gates on the upper deck.
We are keeping our tradition of a post-meet GLOW party for all swimmers for our last home meet of the season. Immediately following the last race we’ll throw the glow sticks and tubes in the pool and turn up the music for some neon fun! We encourage parents to stay as well – we know it’s late, so we usually limit this to 30-45 minutes!
Championships – Saturday, July 16
ALL SWIMMERS are welcome to swim at Champs and we highly encourage it. It is an awesome experience to do as a team and the event is held at the state-of-the-art Shawnee Mission Aquatic Center. Champs is the best way to culminate an awesome season and we bring our sea of orange to cheer everyone on! Entries should open next week!
If your swimmer would like a Champs t-shirt, they can be ordered here and picked up at the event: https://swimquik.com/collections/southland-conference-championship
T-shirt orders close on July 5!
A Splash of Orange - RSVP by July 8
You won’t want to miss our end-of-season party on Sunday, July 17! Please RSVP even if you can’t make it.. This is where we celebrate our season, recognize each swimmer and hand out awards by age group. Attire is white with a "splash" of orange!
A Splash of Orange RSVP - due by July 8!
Volunteer Tracking
Tracking is updated here through our fourth meet – reminder each family needs six credits! If a family does not complete the requirement, their swimmers will not be able to swim at champs or return to the Mustangs in subsequent years. Volunteer sign-ups for next Wednesday’s meet will open at 8pm tonight (Sunday). We will have a few additional volunteer opportunities at Championships.
Happy 4th of July everyone! May it be filled with family, friends and FUN!
