It's time for our first swim meet! We are swimming on Tuesday (tomorrow) AWAY vs Waterford Green.

Where: Waterford Green Pool, 1440 Waterford Green Drive 

When: Our warm ups begin promptly at 5:30 so please plan on arriving no later than 5:15-please allow ample time to park and walk to the pool. The meet will officially begin at 6 and will finish around 9:30.

Parking: there is limited parking at the pool, so please park on one side of the street and honor all No Parking signs.

What to bring: wear your swim team suits, Swim caps (we will hand these out tomorrow morning at practice), Swim Team shirts (also handed out tomorrow at practice), goggles, chairs, towels, sweatshirts (it might be cold by the end of the meet for the kids), money for concessions-Concession sales are how teams make money so please bring some to spend.

Concessions: Chick-fil-A sandwiches, Pizza, duck donuts, candy, chips, and drinks. Come hungry! They accept cash, credit cards, venmo and paypal. 

Swim Caps: We will supply everyone with a swim cap tomorrow morning during practice. If your child is not used to swimming in a cap, let them know that they will be wearing one, so they are prepared.

Weather: ALWAYS come to the meet, no matter the weather. It shouldn't rain tomorrow, but just remember this season if it's raining, we WILL have the meet in the rain. The kids have a blast in the rain, just be prepared and bring extra towels.

Volunteers: If you are signed up to volunteer for this meet, you should have received an email with your assignment. If you cannot come, it is YOUR responsibility to get someone to cover your shift. The referee will host a 5 minute "how to" a few minutes before the meet begins. We need all hands on deck to run these meets.

General Swim Meet info: If this is your first season, don't be overwhelmed, just grab a more experienced family (or one of the coordinators) and feel free to ask questions.

Coach Connor will post the PRELIMINARY line up Tuesday morning on a bulletin board by the door. Come in at practice and take a look and let us know if there should be any changes (out of town, injured, etc), the line up is subject to change. We will be there to answer questions. If you have a little one, don't worry, they will get across the pool, it just might take a minute. It's great to see the whole team cheer for them!

We will send out a final line up mid-afternoon on Tuesday. Once received, you will write with a sharpie, your child's events on their arms, and their name and age on their back (yes, I'm serious) That way if your child is not where they are suppose to be on the pool deck, we can find them and get them where they need to be.

Once your child is done with their events you are welcomed to leave (especially if you have young ones) but please do not leave before all of your events are finished. If you leave early, especially for relays, it will mess up the meet for your teammates.

Fabulous Fun Mornings! Wednesday morning we will meet for donuts and ribbons at our normal time! Be sure to get your child out of bed and to the pool for some fun celebrations!

T-shirts: The shirts are in! We will try to hand those out tomorrow too during practice. I would love some help to get them passed out.

Please don't be afraid to ask questions, 

Thanks and Go Hurricanes!!
