There will be NO team practice on Wednesday. Please practice with your home clubs as you have been.
We will begin our check in at the Hulber Aquatic Center (The HAC) at 945am on Thursday August 1st. Please be punctual as we need to hand out Team ND gear including clothing, suits and caps and be lined up for our GROUP picture by 1015. Your athlete will need to be in their team suit with a Team ND tshirt and BLACK shorts on before this time. They will be given the tshirt and suit. Immediately following the team picture will be the first Team ND practice at the HAC. All athletes swimming in the initial 2024 Zone session on Thursday will need to be back to the pool and on deck by 1:15pm. The Thursday session events include the Mixed 11/12 and 13/14 200 Medley Relay; 11/12 and 13/14 400 IM and 11/12 1500 Free.
We want the most amount of athletes to be able to participate in a group meal and activity (still crossing my fingers on that group activity). We will know more of the time line and what we are able to do after the coaches meeting on Tuesday evening. We are planning for a meal at least at the team hotel on Friday between prelims and finals. Please reach out to Sara at 7017301934/sarawolff@live.com with any allergies/sensitivities.
The 9-10 year olds will be having a team meal/activity on Friday after their session. More details to follow, but please keep that time free!
The ND LSC does not provide the team picture, $20 will be added to the charges billed to your home club. The team photo will then be given to Coach Alex and we will get it to you from there.
If you would like your child to have action photos, please sign up for that at my.photoday.com for this. You will need to create an account. The code is longcourse2024.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach out!!
