CORONA DEL SOL SWIM & DIVE

The Second Meet is Here; Home Meet! 

Corona Dels Sol VS. Casteel @ McClintok! 

LETS GO AZTECS!!! Wear your team shirt to school on Thursday, 9/10! 

 MEET LOCATION

McClintock Highschool Pool

There will be a regular bus from Corona to McClintock for the meet.

Once we arrive, ALL swimmers and divers will need to help set up before warmups begin. We have tents, chairs, tables, and other equipment that need to be set up for our coaches and timers. With everyone pitching in, it shouldn’t take long — but we need the whole team helping so we can get everything ready and still start warmups on time.

Parents, we still need volunteers, especially timers. We literally cannot start the meet without enough volunteers.

If we’re still short on Thursday, Robin and Coach Mike may be walking through the bleachers recruiting people on the spot.  Let’s save them the trouble and get those spots filled ahead of time!

AFTER THE MEET – BARRO’S PIZZA!

After Thursday’s meet, the team will head directly to Barro’s Pizza at Kyrene & Warner.

Barro’s Pizza
8830 S. Kyrene Rd. #106
Tempe, AZ 85284

This is always a great opportunity for the athletes to hang out together after the meet, eat some pizza, and enjoy some time as a team without Coach Mike yelling splits at them. 

 FRIDAY & SATURDAY – BROPHY/XAVIER INVITATIONAL!

Here we go — our first Invitational of the season!

Friday – Dive
Saturday – Swim

Invitationals are a completely different experience from our dual meets — bigger fields, more teams, longer days, and some great competition.

I will send a separate email directly to the swimmers who are entered in the Brophy/Xavier Invitational with all of the details, including bus times, arrival information, meet schedule, food, and what everyone needs to bring.

We will be feeding our Invitational athletes, and I’ll have those details in the Invitational email.

 SATURDAY IS ALSO HOMECOMING!

Yes, we know! We have a swim Invitational AND Homecoming on the same day. 

We’ve planned our entries with Homecoming in mind. Corona will NOT be entering swimmers in the 100 Breaststroke or the 4x100 Freestyle Relay, which are the final two events of the meet.

We made that decision specifically to get our swimmers finished earlier and give everyone participating in Homecoming as much time as possible to get home, clean up, get ready, take pictures, and enjoy their night!

If your athlete plans to leave directly from Brophy after the Invitational rather than returning with the team, I NEED TO KNOW AHEAD OF TIME.

Please communicate those plans with me so we know exactly how every athlete is getting home.

It’s going to be a busy week — Media Day, pies, raffles, our first home meet, our first Invitational AND Homecoming!

Thanks again to all of our parents for everything you’re doing to support these athletes and this program. We’ve had a great start to the season, and now the fun really begins!

GO AZTECS!
