Team Gear Reminder

Please have your swimmer wear their Riss Lake team gear to the meet. We love showing our team pride and looking unified as we represent the Riptides!

Heat Reminder

It is expected to be extremely hot tomorrow evening, so please plan accordingly. Staying hydrated will be critical for our swimmers to perform their best and safely make it through the meet.

Please make sure your swimmer:

• Begins hydrating well before arriving at the pool.
• Brings a full water bottle (or two) to refill throughout the evening.
• Multiple small, easy-to-digest snacks available between events to help keep their energy up.

A little preparation goes a long way on hot meet days, and we appreciate your help in making sure our swimmers are ready to compete.

As always, thank you for your support. Let’s bring great energy, cheer loudly for our teammates, and finish another great week of racing!

Please let me know if you have any questions. Go Riptides!

Paige Adams, Head Coach
