Good evening, Riptide Families!

We hope you all were able to enjoy a relaxing and fun-filled holiday weekend.  There's no video proof, but our morning swimmers on Friday enjoyed singing the Star Spangled Banner as part of their swim set!

Attached to this email are the meet entries for Tuesday.  As always, changes are limited, so please encourage your swimmers to try the events they have been placed in.

Here's the run-down for the week:

7/6: Normal practice times; swimmers will work a medium amount of yardage.  Practice routines will be out of the ordinary this week as we have two meets back-to-back.

7/7:  Normal morning practice times; swimmers will work through some speed work and refine our technique between the flags and the wall.  Meet against MoHo will begin at 6:00, and our warm-ups will start at 5:10.  Please have your swimmer on deck and ready for the pool by 5:00.  There will be significant work to prepare the pool and the deck area, so please help if you are able.

In addition to the meet, please declare your swimmer for 7/11 by noon on 7/7.  We have a quick turnaround, and we need to send the meet file by 5:00 pm Thursday.

7/8: There are no practices on July 8.  Enjoy the day/evening off.

7/9: Normal practice times; we will increase our yardage, working all four strokes.  Expect a tired swimmer after practice.

7/10:  Normal practice times; we will have a much lighter practice with a long warm-up and some station work.

7/11:  Meet morning in Sun Prairie.  Swimmers need to be on deck by 7:15 am for a 7:30 warm-up.  Again, have your swimmer declared by noon on 7/7.

This will be a fun and busy week for our crew.  We don't often get two meets in a single week after an almost two-week layoff.  We are excited to get back into competition, and please let us know if you have any questions!
