Good Afternoon!

The weather hasn't been too bad so far, but it looks like we might get the worst of it right about the time we're getting to the pool tonite for meet  ;-(  Please plan to show up as scheduled at 4:30 for check-in.  If it's actively storming, you can wait nearby in your car, but we'd like to have everyone there ready to go if we get the opportunity to proceed. You may park anywhere in the main parking lot (around clubhouse, basketball courts) and along one side of road near pool-- BUT DO NOT PARK in the secondary tennis parking lot (the lot by the tennis court pavilion/bathrooms) OR the vacant lot on the right side of the pool.  That is private property and may not be used.  

I am attaching a list of events that each swimmer is in tonite.  You can use this list to do your arm graffiti ;-)  The # indicates the event number, then the slashed numbers indicate the heat/lane assignment for your swimmer.   Remember that for this meet, your swimmer is entered into more races than usual.  Swimmers in each age group are entered into as many individual events as possible.  DO NOT PANIC if your child does not know how to swim the stroke yet.  Just have them do their best!  Coach will use this info to help guide what the swimmers need to work on and what they are doing well.  This is a learning opportunity for all and also a chance for our experienced swimmers to get a time in many events.  IF time permits, we will try to run some freestyle relays for the younger kids (10u) just to get the experience. The kids will be busy tonite, swimming time after time-- and should sleep well!! ;-) Since they will be swimming quite often, it is VERY important that they stay in the bullpen at all times, so they'll be ready to get lined up for next event.  Just do your best and HAVE FUN!

Reminders:

-- Sign in at the check-in table at 4:30, weather permitting.

--Remember to pack thoughtfully tonite for the weather.  Bring trash bags, water proof storage boxes and umbrellas to keep things dry and quickly cover up. 

--Bring extra snacks as we will have light concessions.  

-- Pick up your team T-shirt

-- Check email regularly for updates

-- Pictures in morning!  We will begin lining kids up for the team photo at 9:00!!  Team photo will be done first.  Then swimmers can line up for individual/sibling photos on a first come, first serve basis.  Please wear your blue Marlin suit.  

Hope to see everyone soon!  Stay tuned for updates!
