Good Evening, Racquetfish Families:

Tomorrow we’ll swim our last meet of the season at Coachman’s Trail (“CT”)—a new match-up for us!

Below please find location and report time, important reminders, some specifics about this pool/meet that are different from our other meets, and the volunteer lineup. Heat sheet will follow tomorrow afternoon.

As always, if your swimmer(s) were RSVP’d but can't make it, let Coach Ella know at your very earliest convenience!

1. Location, Report Time & Instructions from CT: 
   1. LOCATION: The meet will be held at 11412 Coachman's Way Raleigh, NC 27614. 
   2. PARKING: CT has left their pool parking lot available to the visiting team (us!), and asks that we otherwise don’t block driveways or park too close to intersections, only park on one side of the street on Coachman’s Way, and respect the neighbors’ grass. 
   3. REPORT TIME: 5:00pm, as we warm up at 5:30pm.
   4. CHECK-IN: Please be sure to check in with ME when you arrive to confirm your swimmer’s presence and intention to swim all their events. Please text me by 5:15 if you’re late but on the way, so we don’t inadvertently remove your swimmer from the first events: 919-901-7167.
   5. OTHER CT REQUESTS, NOTES: Please set up near the diving board area, which is sunny (our own tents/chairs are welcome), stay clear of the fence area near the parking lot where swimmers exit the pool, and do not connect to the WIFI, as bandwidth is needed for meet software. Note that CT will enact a 5-minute break after backstroke to switch out their volunteers.
2. What to Bring: Reference handbook! Critical are black team suit, goggles (and backups!), towel(s), team t-shirt and cap, and LOTS OF WATER/GATORADE.
3. Concessions: Coachman’s Trail will have tacos and baked potatoes for sale, in addition to the usual snacks, chips, candy, drinks, shark snow cones, etc. at their “Shark Shack.” They accept cash, Apple Pay (additional fee) and credit cards (additional fee).
4. 6/Under Fly: This will NOT happen this week.
5. 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. These will happen AFTER butterfly races and BEFORE the free relays.
6. ICE CREAM TREAT! Coachman’s Trail has a SWEET tradition of providing an ice cream novelty to every swimmer, every home meet. As they will NOT host a 6/Under Fly race, 6/Unders are welcome to go enjoy their treat after they swim breaststroke (or after their last stroke of the night) at their “Shark Shack.” Older swimmers may go enjoy their treat AFTER their last swim of the night (including the free relays)—please talk with your swimmer about respecting this rule.
7. 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. CT will hold a volunteer meeting (all volunteers from both teams) at 5:45pm in the upstairs level of the clubhouse. Kid pushers will meet there, then go with Matt Liles for instructions. The lineup is as follows:
