Hello Rapids families! 

Please remember to sign your swimmer up for Saturday's meet NO LATER than Wed at 9pm. The sooner you sign up, the better. This is our first meet of the season and we have many new swimmers, so coaches will be looking at events and putting together relays this week. If you are not attending, please indicate this in the signup as well, as this assists us in planning.

If your swimmer IS attending on Saturday, please sign up for a volunteer spot. This is a HOME meet, so it is all hands on deck. There are plenty of jobs for families with little to no swim experience and volunteering is a great way to meet other families!

**A note for pre-team families** There is no need for pre-team swimmers to sign up for the meet on SwimTopia. If pre-team swimmers would like to swim in an exhibition event at the meet, please let Coach Grace know on Friday at practice. 

Concession:

At home meets, the team runs a concession stand. If you are able, please sign up to donate an item to our concession. We will be serving breakfast sandwiches, bagels, muffins, cereal bars, fruit, coffee and others drinks and snacks. It is a cash concession so please plan accordingly. Remember that all proceeds go right back to the team!

Merch update!

Team caps that were ordered in the merch store will be distributed during practice on Monday from 5:45-6:15. We will also have additional caps for sale - silicone $11, latex $6 (cash sales).

The final shipment of team suits is expected on Tuesday. Team suits will be distributed during practice on Thursday and Friday.

Additional merchandise is still being screened. We will have an update on the order on Tuesday and we hope to have all items by the end of the week to distribute at our first meet.

Have a wonderful Sunday and we will see everyone at the pool tomorrow!
