It's hard to believe this will be our last home meet of the season. The coaches have chosen a Hawaiian theme for tomorrow, so break out your favorite Hawaiian shirt and grass skirt to show your team spirit! We will be hosting the Crooked Creek Crocodiles this week.

THANK YOU for all of the time you have spent volunteering - we could not run our meets without your help! As of this evening, there are about 6 spots left to be filled. If you haven't signed up for volunteer positions yet, please take a moment to do so! If you have questions about what positions may be suitable for you, feel free to get in touch with me or our Volunteer Coordinator, Lauren Nickell.

Since we are at home, the pool will close to neighborhood swimmers at 4:00, and we would welcome your help with all the extra deck set up for which we are responsible; if we have a few people pitching in before and after the meet, it is not a hard or lengthy job as a group. Also, as the home team, our warm ups will begin promptly at 4:30, so please make sure your swimmers are dressed and waiting for the coaches to call for warm up groups at that time. The bullpens will be located against the fences by the baby pool - please remind your swimmers that the baby pool is not open for playing in during a meet.

Our visiting team sets up their bullpen tents in the clubhouse parking lot, so plan to park on the street (sidewalk side only, away from the curb-painted emergency vehicle access space in front of the clubhouse and tennis courts, not in the grass) and walk to the clubhouse. 

Your swimmers did a great job of following directions last time, so just a brief reminder that the stairwell/upstairs areas of the clubhouse are not for use during a meet except for those scheduled to work the announcer's or computer table. If swimmers have a parent working in the clubhouse they are welcome to come to speak with them, but should focus on spending most of their time on the pool deck with the rest of the team if possible.

Finally, Cristina Reeks and Jessica Shellhouse have organized our concession stand for the week and it looks like there will be lots of yummy goodies available to keep you from going hungry! Pizza, hot dogs, chips, beverages, candy and snow cones are just a few of the items to choose from - cash and credit will be accepted. If you see Cristina or Jessica tomorrow evening, please make sure to let them know how much we appreciate the time they have put into our concessions this season.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Beth Wise or one of the coaches.

Let's Go, Stingrays!
