Hi Marlins!

Our first home meet is tomorrow and the theme is SUPERHEROES! Come representing your favorite hero! Please see the important meet information below. 

Check-In

Swimmer check-in is at 4:30! The check-in table will be located on the pool deck near the back gate leading to our bullpen, near the base of the slide pool. Report straight to the bullpen area to check-in. It is very important that your swimmer highlight their name on the board upon arrival. This is the only way that the coaches know that your swimmer is present! Volunteer check-in will also be in the same area. Parents, be sure to sign yourselves in as well and write out a name tag for yourself, so you get credit for your volunteer duty. Please see the previous volunteer email sent regarding your specific assignment.

--Warm-ups will begin promptly at 4:50. Mini Marlins will do their bubble heat with coaches right before the start of the meet, at 5:55.

*** PLEASE, PLEASE have all swimmers STAY IN THE BULLPEN at all times! We had many swimmers sitting with parents around the pool deck last week and had difficulty finding them to line up for their events. Parents, feel free to visit your kids in the bullpen but please help us by keeping your kids in the bullpen. We'd hate for anyone to miss their race. ***

The home side of the pool for Marlin's parents is the side closest to our bullpen (facing the clubhouse). Please stay on the one side and keep the ends of the pool clear for coaches and officials. Be mindful that the bullpen may extend onto the pool deck by the back gate and the swimmers need a walkway to get around to the clubhouse staging area.

Parking

Feel free to park anywhere in our main pool parking lot or along the designated single side of the street around the pool area. Parking signs will be out to guide you. Please DO NOT park in the secondary tennis parking lot. Do not park in the roundabout in front of the clubhouse, it’s reserved for concessions. The small part of parking to the right of the clubhouse is part of the visitor’s bullpen, please keep that area clear. Thank you!

Concessions /Heat Sheets

Concessions will be available on the upper patio. We will have a variety of the normal fare- hot food as well as nachos, snacks, candy, and drinks. We will be accepting cash and Venmo for all purchases. We no longer will be selling heat sheets however, a pdf should be made available for you to print before you come if you wish. I will send out the full heat sheet before the meeting.

** Remember, do not enter the clubhouse OR computer room unless you have a job that requires you to be there.

Fun Friday

We will have our Picture Day on Friday morning instead of our regular Fun Friday. (But we’ll still have donuts and ribbons!!!) Please wear your blue Marlin suit and your best smile — and be there at 9:00! Please be on time as we will begin lining up for the team photo first. Following the team photo, swimmers can have their individual and/or sibling photos taken. You may collect your ribbons and grab a donut on your way out!
