Dear Bluefish,
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all our Bluefish fathers!
Another Time Trials is in the books. Swimmers, you looked great in the water! There were several PRs (personal records, AKA personal bests) yesterday - a great way to start the season! Thanks to the many volunteers who helped run the meet - it can't happen without you. You can view your child's results by logging in to the swimtopia website.

New Swimtopia Feature: Read emails on the website! Pre-Meet Potluck and meet set-up, Friday June 22 Please join the team for a pre-meet potluck dinner & meet set-up on Friday evening. Evening practices on Fridays are game days; the 11 & olders practice from 5:00 - 5:30 and the 8 & unders from 5:30 - 6:00. The potluck this week will be set up, served, and cleaned up by the 9 & 10 age group. Please bring a dish (entree, side, salad, dessert) to share! All team members and families are welcome! For more info about the Friday potlucks, check the website under Meet and Events Schedule/Friday Night Potlucks. A-Meet on Saturday, June 23 at HH We host our first A meet of the season on Saturday. Please visit the website ASAP to indicate if your child is available to swim so the coaches can prepare the meet sheet. Please note that entries are determined by the coaches and will be sent out on Wednesday. Don't forget to sign up to volunteer at the meet! Home meets require more volunteers than away meets. The Bluefish Bistro will also need helpers; a separate sign up will be sent by the Bistro folks. Lollipop Race for Minis at Saturday A Meet We will run a "Lollipop Race" for the Minis after the individual events have been swum and before the relays. If you would like your mini to swim across the pool in this fun race, please arrive at the pool by 10:15 AM. When the individual events are finished (last event is girls 15-18 butterfly), please bring your child to the clerk of course area. Morning practices start Monday, June 25 Morning practices will run as follows: 8 and underswill practice from 9:45 to 10:30; 9 and 10s will practice from 9:00 to 9:45; 11 and older will practice from 9:00 to 10:30. B-Meet at MVP on Monday, June 25 When declaring availability for Saturday's meet, please also go ahead sign up (swimmers may choose 2 events, plus an IM; full entry instructions on website) for the B Meet at Mt. Vernon Park on the evening of Monday, June 25, and indicate availability for the Ft Hunt Sportsmen Relays on the evening of June 27. New Swimtopia Feature: Read emails on the website! You can now read emails that are sent out to the entire team on the Swimtopia website by clicking on the News link under the blue line at the top of the home page (it's kind of small). You will have to be logged in to see the emails. If you lose or delete these long emails, you can still access the info on the website. Emails sent to individual families will not be posted -- just the general information emails!That's all for now, but stay tuned...I feel a busy time coming up!!
