Meet tonight; Team Pix

May 30th

Good morning, Marlins!

We're all excited for our first official meet tonight! Make sure our swimmers are well rested and fed so they can show out! 

We're doing things a little different this season. You've noticed that we aren't printing heat slips for the family folders. You can see what events your swimmers are swimming on Swimtopia.com. The rationale for this is that it is more eco-friendly and readily available. The only information that's missing is the heat and lane, but that information will be available at the meet. 

If you haven't done so already, make sure you download the Swimtopia app for your mobile devices. This will make information even more readily available. 

The welcome email from Maple Ridge is posted below regarding meet information (location, parking, theme, etc.). Please take a moment to scroll through the information. 

Finally, team pix will be taken at practice tomorrow morning. All swimmers should arrive by 9 a.m. in their team suits. Mini Marlins should wear something blue (t-shirt, blue suit) if they don't have a team suit. If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Best, 

Jake Edwards

SEATING Seating for your parents/visitors will be on the pavilion side of the pool (to the left when you enter the gate).
Bullpen
Your team area is just outside the pool gate in a marked area of our parking lot. Families may want to bring a folding chair or extra towel to sit on. You are also welcome to bring and set up canopies. Bring bug spray! We will provide one table with chairs as your check in table. The team area will be marked off with a row of lounge chairs. The lounge chairs should stay in place to mark the line between parking and team area. Please make sure swimmers stay inside the area marked off and not in the parking lot. Please remind swimmers to clean up and throw away all trash in the trash can before leaving the meet for the night.

CONCESSIONS Under the pavilion next to the computer table. We will have hot food options (burgers, Hot dogs, Pasta) as well as an assortment of drinks, chips, popcorn candy and other home made goodies for sale. We will also have the Kona Ice truck (right next to your bullpen :). We will give you 3 free meal cards for your coaches, etc.
If you will please give us your athlete count for Thursday, our concession team can plan accordingly.

HEAT SHEETS Heat sheets are $1 at the concession stand. We will have 12 available for your job duties.

INCLEMENT WEATHER In case of bad weather we ask that your swimmers, families, volunteers and spectators go to their cars to wait further instruction. Your council members and coach should join our head official, council representatives and coach in our pavilion at the scoring table to check the weather and make the decisions of waiting it out or rescheduling. Our make-up day is Friday.

Finally, we'd like to invite your team to join in on our theme night : RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!
