Competitive Meet News Mosby Woods vs. Hiddenbrook (AT MOSBY WOODS) Saturday, July 15, 2017 Meet Sign-Up - please take the time to review the attached meet sheet entry for your child’s name. THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES AND NEW NAMES ADDED. Some swimmers are aged up, so please don’t assume just your age group. If your child is scheduled to swim, and you do not think you can come, please let Coach Aubrey know ASAP. It will allow us time to provide that swimming opportunity to another swimmer. Last minute scratching of swimmers causes stress not only for those scrambling to find names, but for our swimmers to jump in unplanned. If you are scheduled to swim the relay, plan to stay.
Arrival: All swimmers please plan to arrive by 8:00 am and check in with Raider Dude. Warmups begin promptly after 8:00 am.
Mosby Woods vs Hiddenbrook Volunteers: Do not forget to wear your
sporty navy blue shorts & white shirt. If you have any questions about volunteering, please contact Diane Monnig at
[email protected]. All volunteers please arrive by 8:15 am. job_name

Developmental Meet News By Christine Curry:
[email protected] Please look for upcoming information on Developmental IM Carnival @ Mantua on Monday, July 24, 2017
NVSL News by Julia Hughes:
[email protected] Reminder to have your swimmer check in with Raider Dude as soon as you arrive at Mosby Woods! The only parents permitted to be on the pool deck during a meet are those who are volunteering. Cell phones and recording devices are prohibited on deck! You may only record or photograph from the parent viewing section.
Weather! A couple of quick notes...If it rains or is ridiculously hot and humid, the meet goes on! In either instance, plan accordingly with rain gear/tarps or an insane amount of liquids to hydrate your swimmer AND you! If, however, there is thunder or lightning, the pool deck will close and you will be asked to wait in your cars until the meet can safely resume. This is the case whether the meet is home or away. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE! Our team is depending on your swimmer! Coach Aubrey will send word via Twitter and Remind to keep us abreast of timing to return to the pool deck. Finally, please make sure to indicate your swimmer’s availability for next Saturday’s competitive meet and LAST meet no later than Tuesday at noon. At this HOME meet, we will be recognizing our Graduating Seniors.
Treasurer Notes by Dena Imbergamo:

Guppy News by Eliza Selander:
[email protected] On Sunday, July 23 we will be hosting our 4th Annual Lollipop Meet for the swimmers who will be completing our Guppy Program and also 8 and under swimmers who do not place in competitive meets. As this is a developmental meet, it is not intended for those swimmers who typically place in the top 3 in competitive meets. The Lollipop Meet will give the guppies and other developing swimmers a chance to see what a real swim meet is like with absolutely no pressure - all for fun and to show off their newly acquired skills. All Raiders are welcome to come cheer on the guppies. Events will include swimming with a kickboard, freestyle and then back or breast. Swimmers can choose to swim one, two, or three of the events. Please sign up your guppy or 8 and Under swimmer by 4:00 pm, Thursday, July 20. Please have your swimmers at the pool by 8:30 am for warm-ups that Sunday, July 23. The meet will begin at 9 am. There will be a pancake breakfast and awards following the meet. Registration is now open on the team website.
Coach’s Corner Dear Raider Swimmers and Families, Wow! It's been quite a week! Thank you for your cooperation as we've switched around and begged you to bring your kiddos to meets! Relays are a blast but cannot happen unless we can make an entire team. We are grateful to our many Raider families that stepped in to fill relay spots so we can make the most out of this experience for all! Tomorrow night's pep rally is TIE DYE! Remember 100% cotton is the best fabric to hold dye, the more cotton the better! Please follow the directions in the newsletter for best results! Our final two Saturday meets will be at home with the 22nd being the day we celebrate our two senior swimmers (both of whom are coaches)! If your child has not yet experienced the thrill of a Saturday meet we encourage you to join us for these fast paced and spirit filled events! It's an almost guaranteed way to get them hooked on swim team and help them set goals for their future with the Raiders! As always if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! Thanks for all you do and just keep swimming! Coach Aubrey by Aubrey May:
