Heartland Summer League Information

Practices: o Practices are very important. Please remind your child to listen and pay attention. o The focus of the first few weeks of practice will be on technique and instruction. o Please remember that your child is on a swim team and not taking swim lessons. The coaches instruct from the pool deck, not in the water. o Your child will learn all four competitive strokes, legal turns, starts, and various other techniques. We will stress the basics first and then move on to faster. Parents, please let the coaches do their job. Swimmers get confused if they have too many people coaching them.

Equipment: o Heartland will provide a team cap and T-shirt for each swimmer before the first meet. Each team will have a designated team suit. o The suit can be purchased from Paradowski’s Swim and Sport, 7962 Convoy Ct., just off of Highway 52 and Convoy Street, or at El Cajon High School, 1035 E. Madison Ave, El Cajon on Saturday, June 20, 9:00 a.m. – Noon o Girls who have long hair should either wear their hair tied back securely or wear a cap. o Boys and girls will wear their team cap and suits in the meets so the coaches can easily identify the swimmers on their team. o Remember sunscreen and towels for both meets and practices. o Comfortable goggles are a MUST!

Vacations: o The coaches must know when a swimmer is going to miss a MEET. Please let your coach know in advance- the more advance notice you can give the better. o Missing a meet will not be a problem as long as you let the coach know not to schedule you in any events. This is the single most critical item you can do to make the meets run smoothly.

Meets: o See the back of this sheet for full meet information o Each team will be assigned to be a “Home Team” for one or two of the meets. o The Home team provides the volunteers at the meet- ribbon writers, timers, starter, etc. o Participation in the meets helps your child see his/her own improvement and each swimmer is encouraged to keep track of his/her own times. o You may want to bring a light snack and water to the meets. o Please remember to pick up your trash and NO GLASS CONTAINERS are allowed

Team Photos: o Please fill out your picture order forms BEFORE you arrive for pictures o Please include full payment - check, money order, cash (exact amount) and/or card- orders without payment will not be processed. If have more than one child please make separate payments to avoid your order being wrong or incomplete. o It is our goal to do a consistent pose with everyone - we will do our best to encourage your child to smile and ensure a positive picture taking experience. There are specific reasons why we choose the poses we do. o If you would like to order more after you receive your pictures then just visit us online at eyeforlovephoto.com and email us what you would like to reorder. There are times we miss on a picture –If so then simply return the pictures you are unhappy with - if it is a fixable problem, we will make the correction for you or we will send you a refund. 2015 Heartland Summer League Meet Schedule July 11 • *Santana vs La Mesa @ Santana • *Grossmont 1 vs Helix @ Grossmont • *Grossmont 2 vs Montgomery vs Monte Vista @ West Hills • *Steele Canyon vs West Hills @ El Cajon July 18 • *La Mesa vs Grossmont 1 @ Santana • *Grossmont 2 vs Santana @ Grossmont • *Helix vs Steele Canyon vs Monte Vista @ West Hills • *Montgomery vs West Hills @ El Cajon July 25 • *West Hills vs Grossmont 2 @ Santana • *La Mesa 1&2 vs Helix vs Montgomery @ Grossmont • *Monte Vista vs Santana @ West Hills • *Steele Canyon vs Grossmont 1 @ El Cajon
