1st Meet Details - @Home vs Cedar Creek

The kids are ready to show off their skills in our 1st meet tomorrow night! They have been working so hard, learning new skills, making friends, and gaining confidence every day.

**Morning practice starts tomorrow. Meet day practices are laid back and much easier to not exhaust the kids before the meet. See times on the website under Practices→ Practice Schedule.

ACTION: Download the Swimtopia app and sign up for the Free 7- day trial, then $2.99 for a month. This small cost will get you all you need to stay on top of your child's events and your volunteer shifts for our quick season. Heat Sheets are published 12 hours before each meet to the App. 

1st Swim Meet: Thursday evening May 25th

Setup Volunteers (and their swimmers/kids) only at 4pm

All swimmers arrive by 4:45pm <check in at the pavilion> with events written on their arm

Warm-ups start at 5pm

Volunteer Check-in at 5pm

Meet will begin after warm-ups at 6pm

Check here for Meet 101 Notes available on our website. Review what to bring and how to prepare for each meet. 

Remember that swimmers 10 and under will stay in the pavilion (bull-pen) until they are finished swimming. This helps us to keep track of them and allows you to be free to volunteer. We expect older swimmers to know and get to their events on time. 

Events: You can check your child’s events online and on the Swimtopia App. Heat Sheets and Entries by Name are also posted on the meet event on our website. Use the App or print the Heat Sheet for reference during the meet. Remember to use Sharpie to write your swimmer’s name on their back and list of events on their arm/leg before you arrive to the pool. 

Volunteers: Volunteers check-in with Natasha at 5pm at the window near the vending machine room. We will hold Timer training and direct all other volunteers to the leads for their areas. Check your volunteer sign-ups here or on the Swimtopia App. 

We had 100% of our volunteers show up for every shift last season. Let’s keep that record going!

Parking: Use the parking lot and when full, the grass lot next to courts 1 and 2. If you need to park on the street obey all signs and only park on 1 side of the street. Do not park in the vacant lot on Rivermist before the clubhouse. That is private property. 

Concessions: Concessions will be open and serving Dogwood Pizza, CFA sandwiches, hot dogs, baked potatoes and pot stickers along with sides, snacks, and drinks. Meal Deals for $5 or $7 are a great way to feed the family. Cash and card are accepted. 

All done swimming?: Before leaving the area, check in with Nancy or a coach to confirm you are clear to leave. We need everyone to finish all of their events, even relays, and sometimes need replacements on relays. 

Clean-up: Before leaving the meet make sure that your family cleans up. Look for swim gear like goggles and towels and trash from dinner or snacks. We need everyone to pitch in.

Donuts and Ribbons Friday 9am:

We will celebrate the meet with donuts and fun swim. Coach Carra will share some highlights of Meet #1 and we will have ribbons for the 1st Meet. Parents are welcome to hang out in the pool area and then swimmers, siblings, and families can enjoy a fun swim until 11am.

Thanks!
