Our final “B” meet of the season is at Sleepy Hollow Recreation Association (SHRA), 3538 Sleepy Hollow Road, Falls Church, VA 22044. The Gator caravan will leave our pool promptly at 4:50PM. If you are driving directly, all attending swimmers need to be at the SHRA and ready to jump into the pool (caps and goggles on) by 5:20PM. The meet starts promptly at 6:00PM.
- Kickboard and assisted swim events will be held at this meet. Mini Gators take note!
- The order of events will be kickboard, assisted swim, freestyle, back stroke, breast, butterfly and then IM. Young Gators, please do not try to swim an IM until you are confident that you have mastered all 4 strokes. Parents check with coaches if you need verification for you swimmers.
- Last check we still needed several volunteers for ALL of our jobs. As usual we will need 9 timers, 2 stroke and turn officials, 2 marshals, 2 clerk of course and our own table workers. Volunteer at https://www.foresthollow.com/volunteers/
- Your swimmers should bring a least 2 towels and or a blanket. Bugs will be out so bug spray is also an option. Also be aware that their parking lot is very small.
- Make sure your swimmer has clear goggles for B meets. We had some issues this season with tinted goggles once it became dark. Rain delays are unpredictable.
- The SHRA grill will be open and ready to serve you delicious burgers, dogs and other delicious treats. Come hungry!
This will be Bob Elkins’ last meet as our B Meet Rep – thanks for all your service!
