Hello Stingray Families,

*** Please read this email carefully as tomorrow is our first swim meet! ***

It is a HOME meet against the White Columns Warriors. We DO have swim practice as usual Thursday mornings. However, Fridays are for fun - Swimmers can come to the pool from 9:00 - 10:00 am to get their ribbons earned from the meet and grab a treat.

Parking - is limited, so you are welcome to drop your swimmers off at the clubhouse before parking on the street and walking back - please follow all the posted parking signs in the neighborhood. Please be courteous by NOT parking at the tennis courts for the players that have matches at the same time as our swim meet.

Plan to arrive by 4:00 - to give your swimmers time to double check their event entries and get settled before warmups. Our bullpens will be located behind the baby pool. Please remind your swimmers to first check in with their bullpen parent to get settled with their age group. Events will be posted at the bullpens, but can also be accessed on your Swimtopia app for each swimmer.

The coaches are so pleased with the progress all of the swimmers have made in our past few weeks of practice and are excited to see them compete this week. We will have a Hawaiian theme for this meet, so get out your floral wear and come dressed in your most festive Hawaiian wear to show your team spirit!

As usual for June, the weather can be unpredictable. Please remember that we show up for the meet regardless of the weather and any decisions about inclement weather are made by the head coaches, team reps, and the official if necessary. Make sure that all involved parents/guardians are included in your family profile, so they will receive any pertinent texts or emails concerning the meet.

Remind your swimmers to hydrate throughout the day as well as during the meet. There will be hamburgers, hotdogs, buttered noodles for sale at the meet, along with light concessions (drinks, chips, candy) for cash and credit.

Volunteers - Thanks to everyone who signed up for their volunteer positions early. Volunteers should check in when you walk through the gate with Michelle Spears. We have an urgent need for help with the 6 & Under boys bullpen as well as the 7/8 boys bullpen. Please sign up to help this meet go smoothly.
