Jan is also taking orders for additional ladies’ team tanks!  If you missed out on the pre-order, this is your chance to get the really cute shirt!!

She does suggest ordering a size up from your regular size as the shirts seem to run on the small side!

Barracuda Mock Meet This Saturday- May 21st*

Barracuda Mock Meet

 This Saturday- May 21^st*

Set up 3:00pm— Warm-Up 4:00pm—Meet Start Time 4:30pm

A note from Coach Barker

Parents,

I would like to personally invite you and your kids to be a part of our Mock Meet this Saturday.  The Mock Meet is very important for several reasons:

For the New Swimmer:  The Mock Meet lets the swimmer “Practice” a real swim meet experience without the pressures and competition aspect that another team brings.  They get to experience Check-in, Warm-up, Ready Area, Cheering, and Racing all with absolutely no pressure, because… its just Practice!

For the Experienced Swimmer:  The Mock Meet allows Coach Barker to know your times, so that you are correctly seeded when the real meets begin.  There are points that you could score that our team would miss out on if this seeding is not done correctly.  The Mock meet also provides the opportunity for you to mentor the newer swimmers through the meet process, teach them how it works, teach our cheers, etc!

For all parents:  The Mock Meet is great for Parents because it allows you to practice your volunteer job.  Meets run faster and we all go home sooner when things run smoothly.  This is an opportunity to work the kinks out before a real meet.  Plus, it is a lot of fun to watch your kids race and cheer for teammates!

I hope you can all make it!   If you can’t, let me know at communication@swimbarkers.org

See you at the Pool!

Coach Barker
