Hi everyone,

We are coming up on the entry deadline for regionals quite quickly and we as coaches want to ensure that we build relay teams that are willing to go to provincials if they qualify; so we are asking that you check the attached list and verify that your swimmer is in the correct category.  If everything is good, you DO NOT need to confirm.  We only need to hear from you if your swimmer is in the wrong category and we need to put them into a different category.

There are 3 options:

1. Swimmer is attending regionals and is willing to go to provincials if they qualify even if they only qualify on a relay and no individual events.

2. Swimmer is attending regionals and is NOT willing to go to provincials.  They can still be on relays at regionals, they just won't be on our designated "provincials eligible" relay teams.

3. Swimmer is NOT attending regionals.

Regionals are the only heats and finals meet of our summer swimming season and they are open to ALL swimmers in Region E who have competed in at least one individual event during the "regular" season (up to and including the Swordfish meet).

The morning session will run just like all the invitational meets have run with senior seeding where swimmers race based on times.  In the afternoon, the top 8 swimmers in each age group/gender will have the opportunity to race their race again in a finals format where the placing of that heat determines individual placing in the event.

Regionals is NOT just for the fastest swimmers or the ones who got the most ribbons throughout the season.  They are for EVERYONE.  It is a celebration of the end of our season and a chance to come together one last time as a team to cheer each other on and surprise ourselves with some new best times and great memories.

If you originally said no you don't want to attend regionals because you thought your swimmer wouldn't "belong", please reconsider and let us know if you would like to have them attend regionals after all.

Its the first time in 3 years that we have been able to attend this meet and its guaranteed to be both fun and exciting.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to your group coach if you have any questions or need clarifications.

Hard to believe we only have two more weeks of practice left after this week.  There will be one additional week of practice for provincials qualifiers.  The season has really gone by quickly! Thank you for joining our team and helping make this club so awesome this season :)
