Parents,

This Saturday, Divisionals will be held in Navasota.  In order for your swimmer to be eligible to compete, they must have swam in a minimum of 3 meets (Timed Trials does NOT count).  If you are unsure if your swimmer has met the qualifications, please see Coach Matt before or after practice to check the list.  Those who are eligible to swim and plan on attending, the coaches are asking you to pick your BEST events when registering online.  Many of our swimmers are close to qualifying for Invitationals, and this will be the last opportunity they have to do so, so select wisely and swim hard. On Wednesday, the Coaches will begin reviewing the list of everyone who registers for this meet and what they intend to swim.  If they find a swimmer is not eligible to compete or not swimming their best events, they will make changes and notify those who are not eligible to attend. Please make sure when you register your swimmer(s) to also RSVP and sign up for volunteering.  This is a large meet with all 6 teams attending, they need as much help as we can give. If your swimmer has qualified for an Invitational, you can begin completing the registration paperwork and submitting payments to Coach Matt beginning this Wed through Sat at AFTERNOON practices. If you are unsure if you have a qualifying time, please see the computer staff for a list of all eligible Invitationals.  If your swimmer makes a qualification time while at Divisionals, you MUST register and pay Coach Matt before you leave the meet! 

If you are new to swim and need clarification about Divisionals and/or Invitationals, please see a board member or computer person and they will help explain the process and advantages of competing at the next level.  Also, if you are interested in having your swimmer continue swimming throughout the summer up to the next Laker season, Coach Matt will be providing information about our year round USA Swim club, the Nadadores soon.
