Weekly Meet/Activity Information

June 12th

Hi All-

Thank you to all the swimmers and volunteers who came out and braved time trials in the elements yesterday! Hopefully everyone had a little fun between the teeth chattering :).

Below we have LOTS of reminders for this first official week told the season. If you (especially our new families!) have any questions about these, please ask us via email or in person at any time!

First MORNING Practice

Just a reminder that we start morning practice TOMORROW! Practice schedule will be as follows:

8 & Under 8am- 8:45am

9-12: 8:45-9:45am

13 & Older: 9:45-10:45am

Just a reminder to parents- the pool is not open during swim team practice hours which means siblings and parents are not permitted in the water or on the lower deck. Anyone who is not in the water must remain on the upper deck. Swimmers should not go down to the lower deck until 5 minutes before their practice starts. Parents are welcome to sit on the upper deck while their child swims.

B Meet 6/13 HOME vs. Parliament

Tomorrow is our first B Meet! If you haven't already, please declare and choose two races (plus IM if interested) by the end of practice tomorrow. If you have any questions on how to do this, please reach out to a team rep tomorrow at practice.

Just a reminder- warm-ups for the meet start @ 5:00pm. Please have swimmers arrive on time and ready to swim as we only have a 20-minute warm-up session. The meet will start promptly at 6:00pm.

Picture Day 6/14 @ 8am

Tuesday is picture day! Everyone should arrive at 8:00am in their team suit (or suit they plan on using for meets) ready for photos. We will not be having practice that day as photos will take the majority of the practice time.

Declare for A Meet 6/18 vs. Broyhill Crest

Please be sure you have declared whether your swimmer is available to swim at our first A Meet on 6/18 at Broyhill Crest by 12pm Tuesday 6/14. Our coaches will be creating the lineup on Tuesday evening.

BOWLING- Bowl America Burke 6/17 @5PM

Our first PEP RALLY of the season will be this Friday at Bowl America Burke! This is a longstanding tradition for the Burke Station Destroyers! Just $6/person covers both shoe rental and 1.5 hours of unlimited bowling! Please RSVP in Swimtopia and bring payment to the team reps this week at practice. Siblings are welcome to attend- just let us know in advance as we do need to give a rough head count to Bowl America on Thursday!

Breakfast @ Friday Practice

BSST also has a time-honored tradition of supplying breakfast to swimmers after practice on Friday mornings to celebrate the end of the week! There is a linked signup genius on the team home page. If you get a chance, please sign up to bring breakfast, drinks, or paper products to your swimmers' practice!

Speaking of food, our NVSL-renowned BSST Concessions is offering more ways to pay! Bring cash or credit card to meets or open a family tab.
