EMC Eels families,

We were so bummed to not get to compete yesterday! FMKP let us know they had lightning near their pool all morning, which would have made the meet unsafe for everyone. We appreciate your understanding and support in making that tough decision. Unfortunately we are not able to reschedule a meet of this size. Family volunteer requirements will now be 6 shifts. On to the next one!

May 25-29

M – no practice, Memorial Day

T – regular practice, relays and diving

W – regular practice, turns

Th – regular practice, fly and breast

F – regular practice, free and back, Fun Friday

Next Meet

Saturday we head to Sand Creek (3021 Timber Shade Dr., Kingwood, TX 77345) to take on the Sea Lions. Please declare your swimmer and sign up for a volunteer shift now. An earlier glitch in the system is now fixed.

Summer Champs Invitational

This Saturday is the last opportunity to qualify for the Summer Champs Invitational at Kingwood High School on June 7. If you are interested in participating in this optional meet, please declare by Saturday evening (5/30) just like a regular meet, except you will choose the events you want them to participate in. Individual entries are $8 each and can be paid via cash, check, or card ($10 minimum).

End of Season Invitationals

If you have questions about which End of Seasonal invitational meet is the best fit for your swimmer, talk to a board member at the pool. These are all optional and have qualifying time standards. Any volunteer shift assigned to our team does not count toward your season requirement, and points earned do not count toward high point awards at the end of the season. Families pay for individual events via cash, check, or card ($10 minimum). The team pays for all relays.
