Good Evening, Racquetfish Families:

Our first HOME meet is tomorrow against the Wendell Waves, and it's shaping up to be a HOT one! 

Below please find report time, important reminders, and the volunteer lineup; heat sheet will follow tomorrow (but swimtopia should be updated now). If your swimmer(s) are on the heat sheet and can't make it, let Coach Ella know at your very earliest convenience!

1. Report Time & Instructions: 4:45pm report time, as we warm up at 5:00pm sharp! Check in with ME when you arrive to confirm your swimmer’s presence and intention to swim all their events; please text me if you’re running behind and won’t be there by 5:30pm (919-901-7167)--otherwise, we'll start subbing others in for your swimmers. 
2. Heat Warning: Team, it's going to be very hot. Please be sure to bring extra water/gatorade for yourselves and your swimmers, and PRE-HYDRATE throughout the day. Bring shade tents if you have them. We will have ample cold water distributed throughout the meet for all volunteers. Shout out to the TSA reps for coordinating as many combined events as possible to shorten the meet. Finally, parents--wear your suits--you will have brief opportunities during warm-ups and a few other times during the meet to jump into the deep end to cool off; listen to the announcements for these!
3. What to Bring: Reference handbook! Critical are black team suit, goggles (and backups!), towel(s), and team t-shirt and swim cap. AND WATER, and shade tents if you've got 'em. 
4. Concessions: In addition to the typical popsicles, ice cream, candy, and non-alcoholic beverages available at the snack bar, Chef Jason will be cooking up:
   
   • Chopped BBQ Brisket Sandwich, $9
   • Pulled Pork Sandwich, $7
   • Grilled Chicken Sandwich, $7
5. 6/Under Fly & Parent/Coach Relays: We are cutting these this week to shorten the meet, due to the heat.
6. Volunteer Lineup/Instructions: If you’re new to volunteering, welcome! Pick up a clipboard with a heat sheet and pen (if needed for your role) at our table when you arrive. We will hold a volunteer meeting (all volunteers from both teams) at 5:45pm by the zero-entry/water fountains area—listen for the announcement. Kid pushers will meet there, then come with ME for instructions. The lineup is as follows:
