June 4th MEET info
June 2nd
Hello everyone!
There are a few things we need to go over before our meet this week. First, our kiddos need to be there at 4:30 to warm up (I was misinformed of the timing and apologize!). Second, if you still have not brought your sodas we are in greatest need of coke and diet coke and would love to have them tomorrow at practice. Third, we would like to borrow your marine cooler if you have one and are hoping to get four. Fourth, t-shirts are in and will be at practice tomorrow evening starting at 5:30. There are only a few extras if you did not purchase one come early! Swim caps and visors will also be available for purchase at that time as well.
There will be heat sheets (meet programs) available for $2 on Tuesday when you arrive. If you have a phone you can download an app called meet mobile and it will show you in real time the scoring during the meet. The website is http://www.active.com/
Things you need to bring to the meet:
· 2 towels - one to dry with and one to sit on, goggles (with name on them)
· swim cap (with name inside - use silver sharpie or nail polish)
· games, books or gaming system to pass the time in between races
· sunscreen and bug spray
· sharpie to write the kiddos race information on them, highlighter to highlight their races on program, clip board for program
· chairs for spectators
We will have concessions available in the pavilion adjacent to the pool and the side gate behind the baby pool will be open for that. There will be burgers, sausage wraps, hot dogs, nachos as well as drinks, snow cones, and candy.
When you arrive at the pool on race day, you will need to come to the table by the showers and pick up your name badge for the evening. Name badges will be color coded this season. If you are new to the team your badge will be in red lettering. The veteran families will have black lettering. Please attempt to utilize our veterans before finding me for help. I should be your LAST resort!
Relays are very important to our team and if you child is on one and they leave early they cause us to forfeit the race and leave three other swimmers hanging and it is not a pretty picture. As a precaution, please check with your coach before leaving for the night. Your child might be a substitute and you may not know that unless you converse with us. If you leave and a relay has to be scratched because of your swimmer your child will NOT be on any relays the following meet.
Lastly, I want to make sure that you have RSVP’d for the meet. If you have not done so, you MUST do it or your family will NOT be included in the meet. If there is a question of if you will be there or not please just note that you are a maybe and I will make sure that you are included. A league rule prevents me from adding your children the afternoon of the meet. PLEASE register here www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E044FAEA62DA31-june2/5579367 if you have not already done so. Also, we are still in need of FOUR timers and will have to assign randomly if people do not come forward and assign themselves to the task.
Sorry to be long-winded but I really want you to feel prepared as we embark on our season. Please email or call me if you have any follow up questions. It will be a fast paced evening and my hope is your family will have a wonderful experience. I look forward to seeing you guys this week!
Go Cyclones!!!
