NewsSplash: Battle of the Ages Update, Lapapalooza Schedule, Pinole Meet Info

Benicia Stingrays

Hi Team,

Sorry for the multiple NewsSplashes that are getting sent out, but we are at the point in the season where information needs to get updated on a daily (and sometimes multiple times per day) basis!

 

Battle of the Ages Volunteer Assignments

  • Here are the Volunteer Assignments
  • Please read all of the instructions at the bottom of the document.  Most importantly please note that it is your responsibility to show up at the appropriate time.  If you do not show up on your own accord, your account will be fined $100.  The Magnos are the coordinators of this meet and are concurrently stroke and turning for the meet.....they will not be able to find you to remind you that it is time to fulfill your shift.  
  • The shifts were all assigned with the intent that you will work while your swimmer is swimming (afternoon shifts were not assigned to morning-only swimmers; Saturday shifts were not assigned to Sunday-only swimmers, etc)
  • Let me know ASAP if something does not work with your volunteer assignment.  Because of the above criteria in assigning shifts, there is not a lot of flexibility for me to move assignments around.  

 

Lapapalooza Schedule

  • 8:00-9:00:  13/ups
  • 9:00-10:00:  11-12
  • 10:00-11:00:  9-10
  • 11:00-12:00:   8/unders

If you do not participate in Lapapalooza, there is no practice and no need for your swimmer to come to the pool that day.  Only swimmers actively participating in Lapapalooza are allowed in the pool as there will be no empty lanes for regular swim.  

 

Pinole Meet Info

The Meet Sheet will be sent out as soon as it is available.  Here is the rest of the info so you can plan accordingly.
