Hi Rapids,

Reminder we DO NOT have practice today or tomorrow. We will see everyone Monday afternoon after school.

IMPORTANT - SERIOUSLY I MEAN IT:

For Time Trials we are going to ask for everyone to OPT-IN on Swimtopia. This means if you are attending or not attending, to login to Swimtopia and let us know. The reason for this is we need you to comment on whether your kiddo is ok with swimming all strokes or only some. If your child is 7 or above, this means they can swim Freestyle, Backstroke, Butterfly, and/or Breaststroke. We completely understand that we have NOT had time to get to most all of these strokes in practice, so if they are not comfortable please let us know in the comments when opting them in. The coaches then will review and ONLY put them in the events they are comfortable with swimming on Tuesday. If you do not comment then they will be put in all strokes applicable for their age group.

If you are NOT going to make Time Trials...please still login and OPT-Out of the meet.

If you are going to be late for Time Trials because of Middle School Honors Night, please opt-in but leave that in the comments so the coaches know to put your swimmer in the later events only.

Steps to OPT-IN or OUT of Meets:

Attached is the Swimtopia cheat sheet I sent out in an earlier email with screenshots of the following steps:

1. Login to Swimtopia with your email address

2. Select Schedule/Swim Meets tab

3. Click the 'Meet Entry' green button next to Time Trials

4. Select 'Edit'

5. Choose attending or not attending and then put a comment next to each swimmer. Here is what that looks like for my kids:

6. Make sure to hit 'Save'

**Note: all meets are open for you to go ahead and follow these steps if you know dates that you will not be swimming.

PLEASE COMPLETE THIS BY SATURDAY EOD as we have to prepare the heat sheet for the meet on Tuesday. Thank you!

If you have any questions regarding this or have any trouble logging in, please feel free to contact us via email or text my cell: 540-420-1797.

Thank you in advance for taking care of this as soon as possible.
