In order to make this meet, and any meet, run as smooth as possible, here are some guidelines for both swimmers and parents:
- Give yourself enough time to get from your car to the pool. As many of you know, the streets quickly become lined up with cars. Make sure that you give your self plenty of time to walk from your parking spot to the pool- sometimes it can be quite the hike!
- Arrive on time for your warm-up. It is important that swimmers arrive on time for their scheduled warm-up so that they are in the pool when kids their age are swimming. It's tricky for swimmers to accurately warm-up when combined with kids on a higher or lower skill level, so please be courteous and arrive on time! 6&Unders and 7/8s warmup from 4:40-4:45. 9/10s and 11/12s warmup from 4:45-4:50. 13/14s and 15/18s warmup from 4:50-5:00.
- Double check the entry lists in the bullpen when you arrive. Usually there are small changes made throughout the afternoon after the original entry lists are printed. What changes the most frequently are the relays, so it is crucial you double check the blue entry lists to see any changes and make sure swimmer's arms are marked correctly.
- For 11/12s, 13/14s, and 15/18s: BE READY 3 EVENTS BEFORE YOUR RACE!!! You do not have a bullpen and are responsible for getting to your events. Coaches should not have to run to find you 1 event before your race, so please make sure you are at the deep end in time.
- Please stay off the steps in the shallow end during the meet. Coaches are very busy during the swim meet and do not have time to make sure people are following this rule. Also, please stay out of the baby pool- there are chairs placed around it for a reason! We know it is hot and very tempting to put your feet in the pool, but please wait until your race to get in.
We will see everyone tonight at the WWS pool when we take on the BCC Barracudas.
Go Stingrays!!
