Hawthorne @ RRC, 7/1 - Meet Information!
June 30th
Good Evening, Racquetfish Families:
Tomorrow evening we’ll host the Hawthorne Stingrays!
A reminder that should the forecast look ominous, we still need to show up to swim and the coaches and TSA reps will make any weather calls (delays, early end, or postponement) together with the guard staff on deck in real time.
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!
- Report Time & Instructions: 4:45pm report time, as we warm up at 5:00pm sharp! I am out of town, so you will check in with Kit Southwick at the tech admin table when you arrive to confirm your swimmer’s presence and intention to swim all their events.
- What to Bring: Reference handbook! Critical are black team suit, goggles (and backups!), towel(s), and team t-shirt and swim cap. The shade tents were awesome last week. ALSO, LOTS OF WATER/GATORADE—we had some swimmers not feeling great with the heat last week, and dehydration can creep up quickly when kids are wet, working hard, and distracted.
- 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:
- Beef or Chicken Tacos, with pico de gallo + avocado crema, $7
- Chips and Queso, $6 + add any meat for $5
- 6/Under Fly & Parent/Coach Relays: These are on! If you’d like to participate in the parent/coach relay, please message the GroupMe chat and bring your suit.
- Volunteer Lineup/Instructions: Please pick up a clipboard with a heat sheet and pen (if needed for your role) at our table when you arrive. Our TSA Rep Marissa Howard and my backfill Volunteer Coordinator Kit Southwick 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 go with Doug Short for instructions. The lineup is as follows:
