Divisionals Meet Information

July 3rd

Divisionals Week Is Here!

Everything you need to know about the Divisionals Meets Friday (11+) and Saturday (10&U) can be found in this google doc. Please read it carefully as it contains arrival times, parade information, drop off location (different from the parking lot), and more.

Remember, The team google calendar has all practices and events. The social schedule can be found here: Calendar of Divisionals Week activities. If you have not already, please buy movie tickets and sign up for Pasta Pump Up and Breakfast of Champions now.

Divisionals Theme: Remember our theme is TOP GUN! Swimmers will dress up according to the theme for the parade. Keep it simple - medley relays start immediately after the parade.

Fox Friends: Please remember your Big or Little Fox Friend during Divisionals. Big Fox Friends should try to come for part of the meet Saturday morning to cheer on their Little Fox. If they are unable to connect at the meet, small gifts and words of encouragement can be delivered at Pasta Pump Up.

Championships and Classics: Remember, any changes to C&C Intentions between now and the start of Divisionals must be sent to Emelyn Shabel (951-833-2077) or scratch fees will be passed on to the families. For anyone who is new to Championships & Classics, these meets are for the top swimmers in SAIL (all divisions), based on times recorded at Divisionals. Classics represents the top 16 swimmers in every event and Championships represents swimmers ranked 17 – 40. Don’t let your swimmers be disheartened if they don’t make it! With over 4,000 swimmers in SAIL, it is very difficult to qualify for these meets, and often takes years of practice!

C&C Reveal: On Sunday night (July 10), we will email a list of qualifiers so that parents can choose to discuss it with their swimmers. All swimmers will come to the pool on Monday morning at 8:30 AMfor the Breakfast of Champions to celebrate. C&C qualifiers will find out which meets and events they will be swimming at the breakfast. Let it be a surprise and don’t check Swimtopia for the events!

C&C and Shirt Orders: Qualifying swimmers can order special t-shirts with a custom saying on the back. The shirts will be ordered online, and the deadline is usually mid-day Monday. Swimmers who will be swimming in one meet, will order the shirt for that meet. Swimmers who will be swimming in both meets usually purchase a Classics shirt (although they are welcome to buy both). The saying on the back of the shirt can be as simple as your last name, can be something clever/funny, can be a swimming pun – anything you want! If you think you might have a swimmer in one of the C&C meets (or just want to dream a little), think about what you’d like on the back of the shirt. A few examples from the past:

Kat Ingram: FREE AT LAST
Nicholas Franchina: IN THE NICK OF TIME
Boys 9-10 Relay: STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Sam Wingard: I’M SO GOOD YOUR MOM CHEERS FOR ME
Foster Haff (2020): WASH YOUR HANDS YOU FILTHY ANIMAL
