We are foamed up and READY for Champs starting tomorrow! Heat sheets are attached. Please read all details below!

Friday Champs - 11 & Up

Location: Shawnee Mission Aquatic Center

Arrival Times:

• 11/12s- 2:30pm
• 13&14- 2:50pm
• 15-18- 3:10pm

Saturday Champs - 10&Under

Arrival Times:

• 8U- 8:30am
• 9/10- 9am

Swimmers must wear their team suit and cap (if wearing a cap). NO TECH SUITS ALLOWED. Swimmers should report to the crash area in the upper deck and coaches will come grab them for warm-ups.  Shawnee Mission Aquatic Center requires all swimmers to rinse off in the showers first...so they'll do that on the way to the pool (showers on pool deck).

Please read the attached welcome letter for all the Champs details.

Note that Shawnee Mission Aquatic Center does not use the SwimTopia app.  If you want to get live results via app you will need to download Meet Mobile (Hytek) from the app store.

VERY IMPORTANT: It is very easy for swimmers to miss lining up for a race during Champs. There is an announcer calling for events to line up, but with so much going on, it can be easy to miss. We have college helpers in the crash area, but they cannot send swimmers to line up if the swimmers are not present and paying attention.  If you are worried your swimmer may miss a race, please make sure you help them listen for their race to be called . You can sit with your swimmer in the crash area anytime to make sure they don't miss a race.  It is heartbreaking when this happens and there are no re-do's at Champs.

All swimmers should have their names written like this on their RIGHT arms.

If you ordered a Champs t-shirt, I will have them at Champs!

We also wanted to let you know all the local swim clubs (COOL, Blazers, Empire, Swim Academy) will have tables at champs tomorrow. If your swimmer has any interest in continuing to swim, please stop and visit with them! All of them have several options for swimmers -- whether you're ready to compete hard core or just supplement other activities you're already doing. We can't emphasize enough how much swimming (even a little) during the year makes a difference in the summer! If you'd like to talk with a Mustang family in any of these clubs, reach out and we'll connect you.

If your swimmer needs anything tomorrow or Saturday -- a word of encouragement, someone to catch their head in backstroke, last-minute advice, or constructive feedback after their races -- we will have coaches in the crash area and on the pool deck.  Come see ANYONE!  They have all been in your swimmers' shoes and are here to help and encourage.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUSTANGS!!!!!!
