Team,

We are in our FINAL two weeks of practice and we have a lot going on so I wanted to update you on a few things:

July 15: Chipotle Spirit Day, please eat at the Chipotle near Publix and a portion of the proceeds will go towards the Rapids

July 17 5:30pm-7:30pm: Team Scavenger Hunt! Meet at the pool and you will be assigned a team to conduct a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood. Pizza will be provided at 6:30pm. Little kids will be placed on teams with responsible older kids. RSVPs are not required but helpful for planning and ordering food.

July 19: Last day of swim practices!

July 20: Finals! Sadly, the RSL has not been very organized about this, this year so we still don't have a location but little kids will swim their individual events in the morning with the meet probably starting at 8am. They will probably be done by 10am or so with the relays starting immediately after (for the little kids and big kids). The relays will probably be done around 12pm. Then the big kids will swim their individual events and they will probably be done around 3pm. If you only have 10 and under kids, you will probably be done by at the latest 12pm. If you have older than 10 year old swimmers, you probably won’t start until 11am or 12pm and you will probably be done by 3ish. If you have both, you are stuck there all day. You must have swum in at least two meets this year to swim in finals.

July 20 7pm-10pm: End of the Year Party. Awards will be given out, games will be played and the famous "family relay" will take place. I BELIEVE the Shay family won it last year so someone needs to dethrone them this year. Families with last names A-M, please bring a dessert to share. Families with the last names N-Z, please bring a side dish to share. All family members are welcome and you are welcome to come even if you don't swim in Finals.

Please remember to thank your Big Fish!

Let me know if there are any questions.
