Hello HH swim families! We are all excited about our meet tomorrow. We are AWAY at Roswell Rapids located in Roswell Area Park. Please note this pool has a 4ft deep end. I know not everyone is comfortable with diving in 4ft so I wanted to let you know several ways the swimmers can start their races. You can choose to have your swimmer push off the wall from inside the pool, jump in from the blocks, or do a shallow dive. Coaches have also been working with the swimmers in practice so they can have experience with the various ways to start the race. Their swim blocks are very low to the ground for safety. The other team has also said we can do whatever we are comfortable with. You can decide for your family what you are comfortable with. Our coaches are aware and please know that they are ok with whatever you decide.

Athletes need to arrive at 4:25 for a warm time that will be 4:55 – 5:15. First half volunteers need to arrive by 5:00. See below for details regarding the facility. We look forward to seeing everyone and GO HH HURRICANES!
