(Quick reminder--NO PRACTICE TONIGHT FOR SPEEDY MEET SWIMMERS)

IMPORTANT NOTES SPECIFIC TO TONIGHT'S MEET:

• Please make sure to bring extra waters, hats, umbrellas, etc. We also have room on deck for several pop-up tents. While this will help in some areas, we as the visiting team will be in the path of the afternoon sun. Please encourage swimmers to REST, STAY COOL, and HYDRATE between events.
  • We do need several families to bring pop-up tents. Coach Tiffany is bringing one, but a few extra to provide shade for our swimmers would be much appreciated!
• We are going to combine several events tonight to hopefully move the meet along as fast as possible. The following events will be COMBINED:
  • #8 and #9 (Medley Relays)
  • #38 and #39 (IM'S)
  • #66 and #67 (Free Relays)
• Please help us make sure your swimmers are with the team and prepared for each event. This is projected to be a very, very long meet. It is our goal to start each heat and event as quickly as possible to move the meet along and end as early as possible.

The meet for tonight is live in SwimTopia! I'm also attaching 2 documents:

1. An individual entry list. You can find your swimmer by last name with a list of their events with heat and lane assignments.

2. The heat sheet. You can use this document to view all entries in the meet.

WHAT TO BRING:

• WATER--and EXTRA WATER! Tonight will be HOT and keeping our swimmers hydrated is a priority! Please make sure your swimmer(s) have plenty of cold water on hand. Fresh fruit (grapes, watermelon, etc.) are also great ways to get natural sugars and extra hydration into your swimmers!
• Team Suit

• Cap
• DRY TOWELS!
• Healthy Snacks
• Deck chairs for the adults
• *REMINDER: NO GLASS CONTAINERS ALLOWED ON DECK

AT THE MEET:

• Please help your child set up a space in our team area. We really need parental support for this. It is very important that swimmers sit together to support each other and to make sure they don't miss an event.
• Volunteers will check in at the volunteer table. ALL timers (1st and 2nd session) need to attend the timers meeting that happens prior to the start of the meet.
• Concessions available include tenders, pizza, snacks, candy, drinks, and frozen treats. Cash and Venmo are accepted.
• Please DO NOT leave if your swimmer is in a relay. If a swimmer must leave early, please notify Coach Tiffany or Coach Kristina as soon as possible so that we try to prevent scratching relays.

Marking your swimmer:

Mark the arm as illustrated below in the picture in the order of Event/Heat/Lane/Relay Leg. Write on clean dry skin with no sunscreen. It is best to do this the night before in order to minimize sunscreen washing it away.

• Find your child’s race information on the Heat Sheets, the entry sheets, or the SwimTopia App.
• Label your swimmers with a black sharpie with their race details.
• On their forearm, mark their event information: (See further below for Stroke labels)

(E = event, H = heat, L = lane). For relays, add a slash followed by the position on the relay after the lane# (1, 2, 3 or 4)
