Crocs Weekend Update
Crocs:
Coming up this weekend, our first pep rally and swim meet of the season!
Pep Rally:
Come to the Pep Rally tomorrow night at 6, and get ready to Defeat the Dolphins!
You may have noticed that contractors began installing shade structures at the ends of the pool today. (Thanks to our HOA for funding 80% of the project - the Crocs are contributing the balance.) We won't be able to use the pool tomorrow, but we won't let that stand in our way! We'll have our pep rally in the parking lot tomorrow - we'll have relay games and decorate cars for the first road meet of the season! Candelari's Pizza and the usual drinks and snacks will be available as normal. Please plan to park in the school lot across the street to keep the pool parking lot clear for safety reasons.
At the pep rally, we'll also have Crocs car magnets and stickers still available, so let's show Lakes of Eldridge and the other teams our Croc spirit. We still have a limited number, and will have them available for purchase at the Pep Rally ($8 for 1 or $15 for 2 items). If you would like to reserve your magnet or to put your name on the list for our next order, please contact Sara Eastwood at [email protected] .
Swim Meet at Lakes on Eldridge:
We have our first meet of the season Saturday morning at Lakes on Eldridge! Information about the meet can be found on the website by clicking on Swim Meets. There are links to documents about the meet and parking, and a link to download the heat sheet (Lakes on Eldridge has notified us that they do not print and sell heat sheets at their meets). The following are some of the important highlights.
The pool is located at 12750 Lake Center Run, Houston 77041. Lakes on Eldridge is a gated community, so you may have to tell the guard at the gate that you are there for the swim meet to be let in. Please park in the areas designated on the map in the parking document - cars that violate the parking rules are subject to being towed.
Our warm up starts at 7:45, so please be there at least by 7:15 to allow time to park, set up, and be ready when it's our turn. All swimmers MUST CIRCLE IN before 7:30, or they may be scratched from the meet.
As I mentioned above, Lakes on Eldridge does not print and sell Heat Sheets, so they have told us we are welcome to distribute them electronically. I'm attaching a copy for your convenience, or you can go to the Website under Swim Meets, and find a link there. Feel free to print one at home, or look at it electronically as you prefer.
To find out what events your swimmer is in, you can click on the same button you used to sign up for the meet (the Meet Entry button next to the name of the meet). This will now show the meet entry report for our team. If you want to only see your swimmer's events, type in your last name and hit refresh.
If your swimmer is signed up for a relay, please DO NOT LEAVE before the event. There are three other swimmers and the rest of your team depending on you to be there! If you must leave, tell a coach as soon as possible so they can try to replace your swimmer in the relay - but be advised, we will talk about you after you leave. Kidding - sort of...
One more item to be aware of - there is a new scoring system in NWAL this year. Twice as many swimmers win points in each event, so we need everyone to swim their best!
If you have any questions, email [email protected] or [email protected], or just ask someone!
Go Crocs!!!
