HELP US SAY THE RIGHT THING!

Throughout the meet we’ll be announcing the names of your club, your coaches and your swimmers. Help our announcers get the correct pronunciation the first time, every time, so we won’t feel awkward, and you won’t feel annoyed.

Give some thought to the names associated with your clubs, teams, and coaches, and if you can give us some clues to the chronically mis-pronounced, we’re more than happy to have them. Suggested hints: “sounds like, “rhymes with,” “French pronunciation.” “stress the second syllable.” For example, the name “McKone” could be “Mick as in Jagger, Cone as in Ice Cream,” or “Muck Own.”

When complete, please drop this off at the announcer’s table. Thanks!
