I hope everyone is gearing up for a great meet tomorrow! A few housekeeping items: First, our second Pokey's order has come in so pick up your shirts in the office during practice or at the check-in tent tomorrow. Second, there are still a few volunteer positions that need to be filled for tomorrow night, these must be filled for our meet to start on time.

The meet starts at 5:30, but swimmers should be there and checked in at 4:15. Warmups for ages 7-10 start at 4:30 and the 11 & Ups will follow. If your child is 6 or under we ask that they do not participate in warmups to ensure that things run smoothly and efficiently. There will not be any coaches in the water to help swimmers in warmups, so if your child cannot swim by themselves we ask they do not participate in warmups. 

The coaches are installing some incentives for the swimmers tomorrow. The first one is the most spirited boy and girl for both 10 & unders and 11 & overs will get a Chick-fil-A milkshake of their choice. The second thing is if a swimmer wins their heat they will receive a beaded necklace. Third, all swimmers will receive one tattoo when they check into the meet. Lastly, if Green Meadow pulls out the victory swimmers get to push coaches in and duct tape Coach Sam to the structure in practice on Wednesday. 

Swimmer Check-in: All swimmers must check in before warmups, there will be two check-in tents outside the pool for check-in. We ask that all 10 & Under swimmers have their name and their ages written in Sharpie on their backs so it is easier for tent parents to line them up for their races. We will have an area set up for swimmers to look at their events and Sharpies available for name writing. 

Parents on the Pool deck: There is very limited space on the deck so we ask that swimmers sit under the pavilion and parents outside the fences. Parents can make their way to our designated viewing area by the diving well to watch their swimmer or by the lifeguard stand on the other side, but they must return after their event is done. Parents that have little swimmers can have their swimmers sit with them but it is their responsibility to send their kids to the clerk of course.

Food Options: We will offer two food trucks tomorrow night, Uncle Mikes Cafe, a-Thai food truck, and Kona Ice. 

Lastly, if your swimmer is on a relay please stay till the end of the meet for the relay. Failure to do so can jeopardize your kids' opportunities to be on relays in the future. Relays are a huge part of dual meet scoring so we want to ensure we score as many points as possible in those events.
