Hello everyone!
I hope you are having a lovely Spring. This email will cover next year’s schedule, including the meet schedule, captains practices and other details. Please carve out time to read this email; there is a lot of important information it in.
As always, please email me if you have questions. If you know someone who is going to be new to the team next year, please forward this to them and let me know you did so.
1. If you need a physical for next year, please sign up for it now. Email the Activities Office at Mayo High School for more details.
2. There will be new suits this year. That, and the apparel, will be available closer to the season start. Stay tuned!
3. Meet Schedule
Attached is the dual meet season schedule. There are several meets not on the schedule. They are:
- Pentathlon at Century High School - August 17

- State Championships at the University of Minnesota - November 14 (diving prelims) 15 (swimming prelims) and 16 ( swimming and diving finals)
Every swimmer will be in every dual meet, unless we talk to them ahead of time. Reasons a swimmer may miss a meet is because of injury or missing too many practices.
Not every swimmer will attend every invite, with the exception of the Pentathlon. More details as we get closer to the season.
4. Fundraising/Volunteer activities:
We will most likely have the Car Wash again on August 24.
We will also run a water station at the Healthy Human Race. on August 24.
Jeremiah Program - September 24
*This year I am asking that swimmers and divers choose between the Healthy Human Race and the Jeremiah Program. We had too many at The Jeremiah Program last year and I am hoping this will solve that issue.
5. Socials and Pasta feeds:
If you would like to host a pasta feed this year, please let me know ASAP. We already have one slot filled. The dates are:
August 31 - movie night at pasta feed at the Yao’s
September 17

7. If you are on social media, please follow mayogirlsswimaanddive on Instgram. The girls have always done a good job with it and post lots of great and important information there.
8. This year we are asking parents to provide snacks and drinks after the away meets. If you would like to share this with another family because there are so many of us, please do. Suggested snacks:
Cheese sticks
Oranges
Apples
Bananas
Grapes
Nut mixes
Crackers
*Please note that we have swimmers that are gluten free. More details, including a sign up sheet, coming soon.
That is all for now. Please reach out with any questions. I cannot wait to see you all soon!
