This week's meet - 7-5-23
July 3rd
For the meet this Wednesday (7/5/23):
- Visiting team warm-ups start at 5:30pm, the first event starts at 6:00pm. Please ensure each swimmer's number is easily visible on their arm prior to the meet.
- They do not have lights for the meet, so we’ll need to finish the meet by about 9 pm. They would like to use dive-overs for the 11+ swimmers to keep the meet moving as quickly as possible.
- The hard-surface parking lot is reserved for our families. Spaces are limited, so please carpool if possible. Overflow parking is in the grassy area between the pool and tennis courts. Please leave a "lane" open so that cars can enter and exit the overflow parking areas. Do not park on the grass in yards along the road and be cautious of joggers/walkers when driving on our curvy roads.
- Our home base will be in the area by the kiddie/shallow end of the pool. They do not have any permanent shade structures, so bring canopies if you have them. Their furniture is not accessible for meets, so families should plan to bring their own chairs.
- Concession stand will be serving pizza, candy, chips, novelty ice creams, water, soda and other snacks.
- If time and sunlight permits, they’d like to have a coaches/parents relay with each leg swimming a 25 yd freestyle. Coach Jessica is out this week, so we’ll need three parents to participate. Please let Coach Julie know if you’re interested.
- We need a few more timers, one more Kid Pusher, and one more Clerk of Course. Please go to the event page and sign up if you are able.
It’s going to be hot and humid, so bring some shade, sunscreen, and water. Have your athletes rested and well fed (fruits, veggies, etc…), and hydrated for the meet. Please encourage your athletes to sit in a designated area with their teammates, so it’s easier for Kids Pushers to get them to the Clerk of Course.
Enjoy the holiday and fireworks over the next two days. See you at the pool!
