FIRST MEET: Reminders & Excitement🎉
Hi Buccaneers Families,
We’re excited for another great swim meet and wanted to share a few reminders to help everyone have a smooth, fun evening at the pool.
First, we want to say how proud we are of our swimmers. The energy at practice has been fantastic, and we’re seeing so much growth, effort, and team spirit. Keep up the great work, Buccaneers!
Coach Marianne wanted to pass along a few meet-day reminders:
• Bring an extra towel (or two!)
• Wear your swim cap
• Tighten your goggles before your events
• Bring a Sharpie to write events on arms
• Pack plenty of water and snacks
• Bring something small to keep swimmers occupied between races (cards, coloring books, books, quiet games, etc.)
• Don’t forget chairs for the whole family, as seating can be limited
• Dress for the THEME- pirate night! Best dressed gets a prize!

For our returning families, thank you for helping create the fun, supportive atmosphere that makes the Buccaneers such a special team.
Most importantly, let’s keep the energy high, cheer for every swimmer, celebrate personal bests, and have fun. We’ve had some really strong practices lately, and we’re excited to see all that hard work pay off in the pool.
