Good Morning, Racquetfish!

Tomorrow evening, we'll be hosted by the Banbury Woods Dolphins.

Below please find pool location and report time, other reminders, and the volunteer lineup. The heat sheet will follow tomorrow; though, you should be able to see your swimmer's events in the Swimtopia app (with heat/lane assignments to follow this evening/tomorrow). In case of last-minute illness or emergency, let Coach Christian know at your earliest convenience.

1. Time & Location: 5:00pm report time @ 1417 Shadowview Court, Raleigh, NC 27614. Check in all swimmers and volunteers with ME when you arrive to confirm your swimmer’s presence and intention to swim all their events; please TEXT me at 919-901-7167 if you’re running behind and won’t be there by 5:30pm--if your swimmer is on the heat sheet and I haven't heard from you, we'll have to take them off at that time to make subs ahead of the meet start. Warm-ups begin promptly at 5:30pm.
2. Parking and Set Up: Continue down the cul-de-sac and park in the pool lot, with overflow on the lawn--Banbury will have parking attendants to assist. They ask that we NOT park in neighbors' lawns or leave valuable in cars. Set up is on the right side of the pool deck, as you enter.
3. What to Bring: Reference the handbook! Critical are black team suit, goggles (and backups!), towel(s), and team t-shirt and swim cap. Banbury also recommends bringing your own chairs, as seating is limited.
4. Concessions: Banbury will be offering cheese-steak sandwiches (that they claim OTHER teams come to buy and eat before their away meets!), hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, Gatorade, water, and snow-cones. They are trying to also offer a non-protein/vegetarian option, TBD. Gray Dog Ice Cream will also have a truck on site.
5. 6 & Under Fly Race is on! This is an optional, untimed, full-length butterfly race for 6 & unders, and all participants will get cupcakes. It will happen after 15-18 y/os complete breast stroke (and before 7/8s begin fly).  
6. Parent/Coach Relay is also on! We'll put up one (or two?) relay teams of parents and coaches to swim a 100-yd freestyle relay again Banbury parents/coaches. This will happen around the time of the 6 & Under fly race, so littles can spectate as well. Kids LOVE it when their parents swim! Chime in to the GroupMe or text me at 919-901-7167 if you'd like to participate.
7. Volunteer Lineup/Instructions: If you’re volunteering, check in with me at our table when you arrive. The host team will typically hold a volunteer meeting (all volunteers from both teams) around 5:45pm. Please listen for that announcement or be ready to meet and get organized at that time. Exception is kid pushers will meet with Riley Bingham on the pool deck near the Clerk of Course area at this time for instructions/last-minute changes. The lineup is as follows:
