Montreal 2012 International Xtraslush Swim Meet

Last year CPWD attended a meet at the Parc Jean-Drapeau pool in Montreal. It is a 50m outdoor pool with stands for many spectators. All participants enjoyed the meet. This year we hope to stay in a hotel just one metro (subway) stop from the pool.

Meet management has just announced that the P1 and P2 qualifiers will swim June 15 to
17, 2012. Developmental qualifiers will swim on June 16, 2012.

The meet packages are not available yet.

However, in order to participate in this meet a “reservation fee” of $10.00 for each
participant must be sent to the host club. This deposit is not refundable, but will be
deducted from the meet fees.

This meet is a long way off so swimmers who have not yet qualified may provide a
deposited fee in the hope of achieving the qualifying times in April or May.

The deposit fee is due Wednesday Mar 7, 2012.

You’ve Got Mail

Please check your swimmer mailboxes at the pool and you will find your fee receipts for the 2011 calendar year.  Every current swimmer has a folder in the mailboxes (located under the coach’s desk).  Mailboxes are sorted into 3 groups : Senior, Junior/Intermediate and Non-Competitve (blue & yellow fireflies and red & silver dragons).

A note to those who picked up their receipts yesterday…I printed the wrong mail merge file (oops!) and new receipts are waiting for you in your mailbox.  Although the dollar amount remains the same, the format is more similar to receipts issued in previous years.

 Thank you!

Coach’s Notes

- For competitive swimmer groups only: Senior, Intermediate, Junior and  Red Dragons who have paid the optional competitive insurance coverage fee.

- Date: April 15, 2012.

- Events are $8.50 each, max 3 events per session.

- Permission forms and fees are due Friday February 24, 2012.

- This is an excellent meet for all levels of competitive swimmers.

- Swimmers may attend both sessions or choose to attend either the morning or afternoon session.

- This is the first Long Course (LC) meet of the season.   The time appearing in the heat sheets will be mathematical conversions of Short Course (SC) times.   A Personal Best time will be achieved by bettering a previously achieve LC best time, not the the “converted time”.

- Meet management has requested the all events be entered with a time.    Therefore any event for which a swimmer does not have an official time, the entry time will end in .99 (as in 1:00.99)

- I encourage you to enter events based on the current meet package but to also be aware that OYO meet management may request a modification.     Last year, the meet package stated that swimmers could enter 3 events per session.   Very close to the meet date, the OYO meet management requested that all entries by modified to allow more swimmers to participate.   They requested that all swimmers enter only two events per session, and only swimmers needing the 200 IM and 200 F/S to qualify for EOSA LC championships swim those events.

Change in the warm up time for the SWOTT meet Feb. 18th‏

This is for all swimmers 13 and over attending the SWOTT (GFSC) meet.

Meet management has changed the warm up time:

We will start session 1 warm up 1 hour later…This means warm up from 8-9 with the first start at 9 am…..The afternoon times are unchanged.

Dave.
