Hello Waverunners!

Tomorrow is our first home meet and the weather looks great! 

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 about the meet.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• SWIMMERS need to stay in the Bullpen area. 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 any swimmer, but especially our 8 and unders: It is helpful to write your swimmer’s first name and age on the upper back shoulder in Sharpie (ex. Benjamin 6). This helps our volunteers to line up everyone correctly.
• DO NOT LEAVE until you have checked the relay board and let a coach or bullpen volunteer know! The relay board can and will change often during a swim meet…kids may 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!
• PLEASE CHECK RESULTS BOARD as times are posted throughout the meet and communicate any discrepancies ASAP. For example, if you have a “NS” code - it means “No Swim” and if your child swam, they should have a time reported.
• 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 tonight!! 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 the meet tonight than try to reschedule. Please pack extra activities, snacks, towels and anything else you need to entertain your swimmer in your car for delays.

TEAM BULLPEN AREA:

The bullpen area for swimmers will be under the pavilion. Again, please have your swimmers stay in the bullpen for ease of finding them to swim.

VOLUNTEERS:

*Please check in with your head volunteer when arriving at the meet.

*Timers will have a mandatory meeting at 5:45pm at the starter table.

*Stroke & Turn judges will meet at 5:45pm with the head official behind the starter table.
