Hey there, Hurricanes!

It's wonderful to see so many swimmers back in the pool, working hard, and bringing so much great energy to the deck! Here's a quick look at what's coming up. You can also track events and find details on the Meets and Events tab on the website.

Swimsuit Sale + Swap: Tuesday, June 9 | 4-7p | Lower Pool Grounds

Sportfair will be at HRA to sell team suits—try before you buy. Boys have two options (jammers and briefs); girls will have several styles to choose from.

Outgrown your suit? Bring it, and we’ll pass it along to a family who can use it.

Not sure if your swimmer needs a team suit? If they're only swimming B meets, or you're still working out their schedule, hold off for now. A plain black swimsuit works fine — SwimOutlet.com has a solid selection.

Can't make it on the 9th? Visit SportFair's Arlington location at 5010 Langston Blvd. They know our team and will take good care of you.

Team Picture and T-Shirt Pick up: Friday, June 12 | 5:45p | Lower Pool Grounds

We’ll end the 9-12 practice a few minutes early, take a team picture at 6p, and then get the 8+ Under practice rolling as soon as possible.

Swimmers who registered before the deadline can pick up their team t-shirt (and cap/s if ordered) at the middle deck before pictures. Please wear your team suit, a plain black suit, or your team t-shirt for the picture.

We need help from a few strong volunteers: three heavy picnic tables need to make it up to the Upper Pool Deck by 5:45p. We'll also need parents to help line kids up by age and height for the photo.

Time Trials: Saturday, June 13 | 8:30a | Woodley Pool

Time Trials is how we collect accurate times from each swimmer; these will be used to prepare the meet submissions for our first competitive A Meet. All Hurricanes should attend (no Tropical Storms).

• 3-Stroke Maximum: Each swimmer may select a maximum of three strokes to swim.
• Legality: Please sign your swimmer up for strokes they can currently legally swim. If they are still mastering the form for a specific stroke, sit that one out for this meet.
• Coach Review: Coaches will review all entries and make any necessary adjustments based on each swimmer's ability to swim strokes legally and the data needed for the upcoming A Meet.

If you have not already done so, please log in and RSVP for the meet no later than Thursday, June 11, at 10a. Time Trials run smoothly because of parent volunteers — don’t forget to sign up for a job when you RSVP!

We will send an email later this week with meet logistics.
