HOME Swim Meet: Thursday evening June 25th

Setup Volunteers only at 4pm.

Pool gates will be locked until 5pm. Only setup vols + leads will be allowed to enter. All other families and swimmers can gather in the playground. Rivermist families will be called into set up chairs at 5pm.

All swimmers arrive by 4:45pm <check in on the playground> with event #s written on their arm and name written on back.

Swimmers and families will be called to enter the pool deck by 5pm. REMINDER that ALL SWIMMERS must check in with Ashley Petric either in the playground or bulls-pen once gates open.

Rivermist team warm-ups start at 5:00pm

Volunteer Check-in at 5:15pm with Natasha at the vending window (check your role in the Swimtopia App)

Meet will begin 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. No swimmers may be on the playground unless finished with all of their events and checked out by the bull-pen lead.

Events: Check your swimmer’s events on the Swimtopia App. Heat Sheets and Entries by Name (Athlete Check-In) 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 event #s on their arm/leg before you arrive at the pool.

Volunteers: Volunteers check-in with Natasha at 5:15pm 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 shifts on the Swimtopia App.

Thank you so much for supporting your children by volunteering. We cannot do this without each family doing their share.

Parking: Use the parking lot first 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, barbeque sandwiches, hot dogs, nachos, baked potatoes and pot stickers along with sides, snacks, and drinks. Cash and cards are accepted.

All done swimming?: Before leaving the area, check in with the bull-pen lead 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 at the end of the meet to return our pool deck to normal.

Final Donuts and Ribbons Friday

We have our final “Donuts and Ribbons” fun practice on Friday for all swimmers starting at 9am. Families are welcome to join the swimmers in the pool area and then parents/siblings may swim until the pool opens at 11.

Thanks!
