Good Evening Kigoos!
Apologies for the late week-at-a-glance this week. We had some great swims this weekend at the Super 7 meet! Some highlights included the relays where friends, sibs and cousins got the chance to be on the same team. A big thank you to our coaches for supporting our swimmers this weekend. Thank you also to the parents who helped out as timers and officials.

Good Evening Kigoos,
This email is for swimmers and families attending the Super 7 meet this weekend at Watermania Pool in Richmond.
A Sign-up Genius will be sent out this evening with Kigoos timing shifts for the meet. You can also access the link here. We will also be sending out the sign-up for Stroke and Turn officials. Each club attending a meet is responsible to provide timers and officials for the meet to run smoothly. If your swimmer is attending the meet, please aim to sign-up for at least one shift to help out.

Parking: There is ample parking at Watermania pool; however, please avoid parking in the area around The Extreme Air Park.
Relays and Individual Events: Please have swimmers check with their coaches to see if they are on a relay. Relays happen at every swim meet, both Saturday and Sunday. If you are not able to stay for relays you need to make a note when you sign up for the meet in the comment section of the Google form. If you don’t say that you are not available, your swimmer will likely be in a relay. Please do not leave the meet without checking in with the coaches. When one swimmer doesn’t show up for relays, there are 3 disappointed swimmers who cannot compete. In addition, our Club pays fees for each event your swimmer is entered in. When they don’t show up for their events or choose not to swim the events, we are still charged fees. Please trust our coaches who work with the swimmers daily, and allow them to make decisions about which events your swimmer is entered in.
Concessions – The Stingrays will be opening a concession over the weekend serving Coffee, Cookies, Corn nuts, Sun chips, Assorted chips, Gatorade/G2, Vitamin water, Bottled water, Candy bags, Twizzlers, Bubly, Pizza, Samosa, Ramen.

See you at the pool!
