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.
- Help keep our team area clean. ALL swimmers should help clean up our team area before leaving.
- Additional Info from the Peninsula Team:
Parking: There should be ample parking near the pool.
Visiting Team Area: The designated area for the Visiting Team swimmers is between the snack bar and pergola. Please note that swimmers are prohibited from getting into the pool for purposes other than the meet/warm-ups.
Visiting Team Volunteer Check In: A visiting team volunteer check-in table will be set up near the Snack bar window.
Spectator Seating & Viewing: Visting Team Spectators section will be at the end of the pool, in front of the baby pool area. There will be some pool furniture left out for you to utilize, however we encourage you to bring your own chairs as well.
Concessions: The Peninsula Club does not allow outside food and drinks to be brought on site. A cash menu will be available for the visiting team (attached).
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)E Another option:
A note about weather: We are crossing our fingers that we are able to make it through the season without weather interrupting our meets, but want to share weather pertinent information with you just in case!
1-Please make sure you are on the remind app. If we need to adjust times during the meet because of weather, that will be our first and immediate form of communication. Please keep in mind the following:
2-In the event of a thunder delay, swimmers and spectators are allowed to stay on the deck but not in the water.
3-In the event of lighting, it is possible that we will be asked to clear the deck. If that happens, we will ask families to wait in their cars until either the storm has passed or we have made a final decision to cancel the event.
