Scores will climb even higher as more swimmers get their strokes consistently legal.
For parents and new swimmers, here is a quick rules primer on stroke violations.

Volunteer of the Week - Brett Williams
Brett stepped up and came up to speed very quickly on using our Team Manager and Meet Manager Software these past couple weeks
He entered and managed all of our meet entries for the past two swim meets and provided web updates entirely solo.
We ran into a slight glitch in "psyching out" our team parents for the GB meet, but when you consider all that is involved he did a marvelous job.
Thank you Brett!

This week we would like to pass on our THANK YOU to the entire timing crew.
We discovered we needed additional timers at Placerville and our Head Timer, Patrick Bussey, received excellent support throughout!
Great job everyone and THANK YOU!!!
It's been exciting to see all our swim families get to know each other and enjoy themselves.
Received the greatest compliment a swim program could ever ask for by a parent stating their (9/10) swimmer is already asking about next year!
They were wanting to check and make sure they would be able to register and participate for next year already.
Swim on!!!

He helped time during the meet and was one of the last ones to leave after helping with the tear down.
Thank you Bucky! The Sugarbears are very fortunate to have you and your family on our team.
Honorable mention goes to all of this year's team parents.
It was a definate leap of faith for those who have never done it before and stepped up. Thank you!
For those who have done it before and knew the challenges with so many new parents and swimmers, thank you for your dedication.
The great news is we got through it!
It was difficult to announce the award this week, since everyone deserves big Kudos for their help and contribution.
That is the beauty and love experienced by a swim team. Everyone's help makes the "Roost-a-sha" as easy as just being two thumbs up.

Time Trials on Saturday, May 21st at the RAC
Our Time Trials will be held at the Roseville Aquatic Center (RAC), instead of at Oakmont.
The Woodcreek Seawolves have been very kind in offering to host our time trials with them, which is greatly appreciated.
Sugarbears are thrilled since we did not have a dual meet scheduled this year with the Seawolves.
Also, this is an excellent opportunity for Sugarbears and the new swim families to see how a meet is ran.
Gives us the chance to break-in our Starter, Head Timer, computer ops, timers and runners a little bit easier.
In addition, this help relieve our Snackbar and BBQ organizing, since we will not need to fully execute until our final two home meets.
Thank you Seawolves!
Additional Thank you
