A few notes about Divisionals The divisional meet is the largest meet where all of our swimmers can participate. Due to the size of the meet, Divisionals runs longer than any of the previous meets. Please be prepared to be at the meet until 5 p.m. Extra snacks and drinks are necessary to keep swimmers fueled and ready for events. Also check with tent parents frequently if your swimmer does not stay in the age group tent. Parking can be frustrating at divisionals as well. Please be prepared for more vehicles than normal, and possibly more walking. Also note: There is a change to the order of events for Divisionals. 6U backstroke will be held right after all the freestyles are complete, after event 28. That is also a shift change, as there are more volunteer shifts for this meet.
• The Shocksheet No Breather’s Club The No Breathers Club is open to all swimmers who are able to swim 25 yards without taking a single breath. Congratulations on your hard work!
Coaches Corner We are so proud of our Shockwaves!! Don’t forget: All swimmers need to eat healthy and fuel their bodies during the meet. The temperature is rising, so everyone needs to stay hydrated with water and/or sports drinks. Remember, this meet is much longer, so take time to refuel as you go! We want to also encourage our swimmers that qualify for an invitational to swim that invitational. They are so much more fun when we have lots of swimmers there, and we can swim relays, too! Congratulations to our Pentathletes! We had several swimmers who finished in the top 16.

Invitational Meets Invitational Meets are optional meets, held mid and end-of-season that are open to swimmers reaching a certain level of competition. Swimmers must meet qualifying times in order to participate. Qualifying times vary depending on the Invitational. These meets offer a fantastic opportunity for our families and swimmers to compete at a higher level. Shockwaves will pay the entry fee for relays. However, individual event entry fees are paid by the swimmer.

Procedure at Invitationals Please note that when participating in an Invitational Meet, you may be asked to assist with timing. As we all know, meets of any size cannot run well without parent volunteers. When the Shockwaves participate as a team, we may be required to provide help with timing. Even if your family has met your volunteer points, please be flexible and prepared to help if needed so our swimmers can have an amazing experience!
Klein Oak High School 22603 Northcrest Dr., Spring, TX 77389 If your swimmer has qualified and you would like to participate in the Ponderosa or the Red, White, and Blue Meet, Erin Bingham will be taking payments at Divisionals until the end of the meet.

For more information about upcoming invitational meets, visit the meets tab on the Shockwaves website.
