Hi Waverunners! Tomorrow night is our FIRST dual meet of the season and we will be at the Fields Club. One of our favorite things about dual meets is seeing friends from neighboring subdivisions–it’s like a mini-reunion every Thursday! The pool deck will be packed with people but it’s going to be so much fun!! :)

The coaches have been working with the kids this week on what to expect at the meet. The Heat sheet is attached (please print at home–no copies will be sold at meet). The Heat Sheet is the official entry of all the individuals swimming in the various events - all swimmers swim up to 3 individual events and potentially 2 relay events. New 6 & Under swimmers may only swim 2 individual events (PLEASE READ THE HEAT SHEET CAREFULLY).

See below for important information for tomorrow’s meet.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• Please obey all no-parking signs posted at the Fields Club. You MAY NOT park in the turn around area in front of the clubhouse (this needs to remain clear for emergency vehicles).
• PLEASE watch your kids and keep an eye on the bullpen staging number (this corresponds to the event on the heat sheet)! To keep the meet running smoothly, the bullpen needs to line up the kids quickly and efficiently; the bullpen volunteers don’t have time to track down every missing swimmer. Please watch your kids, keep an eye on the bullpen staging number, and ensure your swimmer lines up on time. For 8 and under swimmers, it is helpful to write on the upper back shoulder in Sharpie their first name and age underneath (ex. Benjamin 6). This helps our volunteers to line up everyone correctly.
• DO NOT LEAVE until you have checked the relay board! The relay board can and will change often during a swim meet…kids will also “swim up” and swim with an older age group…double and triple check your child’s name several times during the meet to see if he/she is needed for a relay!
• Any WEATHER DELAYS will be communicated via the Remind App. Not registered? Register HERE
• *Check out the SWIMTOPIA APP!! Download the app and you can see all the events your child is swimming in tomorrow night!! Includes seed times, event numbers, etc. For more info click HERE

** In case of weather changes, please know that we do NOT leave the swim meet and return home. We would leave the pool deck area. Any weather delays will just change the timing of the meet. Swimmers and their families would go to their cars to wait for any inclement weather to clear. But it is more advantageous for us to swim it still that night than try to reschedule.
