Yay, tomorrow is the day - our first meet of the season!  Please read through this thoroughly as there is a lot of important information. 

*The meet is at Colonies House; the pool address is 3511 Colony Dr 78230. Their parking lot has ample parking but the sooner you get there, the better place you will get.

*Bring goggles and a backup pair! We will not have extras on hand and if your kiddos goggles break or get lost, we will not have a backup for you.

*Bring your swim cap, swimmers will be required to wear them. If you have not gotten one yet, please find a board member to get it for you.

*Please come with your swimmer in their suit; there is a bathroom for changing but it becomes very chaotic and takes time away from what we need to do to get the kids ready.

*Please do not put sunscreen on your kids’ arms (boys/girls) or thighs (girls) and shoulder because we must use sharpie to write on them so they can keep track of their events. Applying sunscreen on their faces ahead of time is perfect.

*This is an example of what we will be writing on the kids to keep track of their events.If you can write on your own kiddo, that would be very helpful! <3

*We are IN THE WATER for warmups at 5:30. That means to please arrive by 5:10-5:15 so we can get their events written on them and they will be ready to warm up at 5:30. The meet starts at 6pm SHARP so please do not delay!

*We are given the seating area on the far side under the metal canopies but you may want to bring camping style chairs as they only have so many chairs and tables.

*Please respect their pool rules as they do have a baby pool and a deep end which will both be closed off during the meet.

*They do have a playground area but it is pretty far from the pool, so it is hard to hear events being called.

*Although they have a device for credit card payments, bringing cash for concessions will speed up the payment process and be handy in case of tech failure. They will have hamburgers, chicken burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, nachos, chips, and candy in the concession stand and there will be a Kona Ice truck in the back field. Bring your reusable cups for Kona!

*There will be a timer meeting at 5:45 so if you volunteered for a timer (either half), please pay attention for someone from Colonies to call the timer meeting.

*If you have not downloaded the Swimtopia app, there is a free version that you can see your swimmer’s events. If you want to purchase the pro version, it does give you timing and scoring information as well as event reminders for your swimmer’s upcoming events.  Just purchase the one month since we'll be done before the end of June.

*Heat sheet is attached to this email; if you can print your own that would be great but we will have copies at the meet to double check entries.

*I have also attached a listing of what event each swimmer is in by their name. Please use that to make sure you’re not leaving early as some of the younger swimmers do have events further into the meet.

Can't wait to see everyone!
