While we are very excited about the upcoming meet on Saturday, there seems to be a lot of info to disseminate.  I will try to make it as concise as possible.

 

Reminders:

1. Pep Rally TOMORROW NIGHT right after practice.  There will be dinner and we will need help getting tents, tables, ready benches set up for Saturday.

 

2. I still need one more family willing to bring a potluck main dish for tomorrow night.  Please email me or find me at practice if you are willing to be that person!  

 

3.  We have to turn in the meet entries TONIGHT.  If you have not signed the Miss Meet sheet and will not be able to swim on Saturday, please let me or Coach Melissa know.

 

Meet Info:

1.  Please arrive at 7:00am to the pool.  This gives us time to get settled, finish any last minute preparations, and get us into the pool for warm-ups on time.  Our Warm-ups are 7:10-7:40.  

 

2. Our team sets up in the grassy area behind the starting blocks.  If you want to bring a pop-up tent Friday night, you are welcome to set it up and leave it as one less thing to worry about in the morning.

 

3.  The meet will run longer than time trials.  Please remember to bring waters, healthy snacks, and something for the swimmers to do in between races.  Most of the time, they will congregate in one tent or another with their friends and play games.  The playground is where the visiting team will be set up so we try to keep everyone out of there if possible.  

 

4. Like Time Trials, we will need all hands on deck to run this meet.  We will need 2 shifts of timers/scribes, help in the concessions, help with ready bench, help watching the kids to make sure they get to the ready bench, etc... Please be thinking about where you would like to help and then have a backup in case we really need you somewhere else!  There will be a signup sheet at practice today and tomorrow so we don't have to beg on Saturday morning.

 

I am sure I am missing something, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask!  

Looking forward to hosting a great meet with Rolling Fork!
