Good Morning, Racquetfish!

Tomorrow evening, we'll be hosted by the Jewish Community Center ("JCC") Rays. Both teams will have smaller representation this week, so it should be (relatively) fast and fun!

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 @12804 Norwood Road, Raleigh, 27613. Check in all swimmers and volunteers with Maggie Underhill when you arrive to confirm your swimmer’s presence and intention to swim all their events; please TEXT Maggie at 978-873-4357 if you’re running behind and won’t be there by 5:30pm--if your swimmer is on the heat sheet and we 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: There are 4 parking lots; we've been asked to use the one in front of the pool/playground, then the two lots past the TreeRunner course (one to the left, other to the right). There is a paved, lit path that runs from behind TreeRunner directly to their building that is shorter than walking back along the driveway. Set up is to the right of the pool deck upon entry, and seating is limited, so BYO chairs (and canopies if you want, as it's in direct sun).
3. What to Bring: Reference the handbook! Critical are black team suit, goggles (and backups!), towel(s), and team t-shirt and swim cap. JCC also recommends bringing your own chairs, as seating is limited.
4. Concessions: Sunset Slush and "Not Just a Fry Guy" will have food trucks on site, offering (including vegan/GF options):
• Tricolored Sweet Potatoes with roasted garlic & parsley persillade
• Hot Honey Pimento Cheese Fries made with pimento cheese drizzled with spicy honey and topped with green onions
• Gourmet Truffle Fries with olive oil, truffle zest, garlic, and parmesan
• Caesar Salad Fries
• Taco Fries made with plant based 'hamburger', lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream and roja sauce
5. 6 & Under Fly Race is on! This is an optional, untimed, full-length butterfly race for 6 & unders, and all participants will get a treat.
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 against JCC parents/coaches. Kids LOVE it when their parents swim! Chime in to the GroupMe if you'd like to participate.
7. Volunteer Lineup/Instructions: If you’re volunteering, check in with Maggie at our table when you arrive. The host team will hold a volunteer meeting (all volunteers from both teams) at 5:45pm behind the blocks. Please listen for that announcement or be ready to meet and get organized at that time. Exception is kid pushers will meet with Ashley DuBray on the pool deck near the Clerk of Course area at this time for instructions/last-minute changes. The lineup is as follows:
