Good Afternoon, Racquetfish!

Tomorrow evening, we will finally host our first meet of the season, welcoming Meredith Townes! Home meets are different, logistically, so whether you're new this year or just haven't done this in a year, please read to the end...

Below please find 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: 4:45pm report time @ our pool! 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 if you’re running behind and won’t be there by 5:15pm--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. When we host, warm-ups begin promptly at 5:00pm.
2. Set Up: Set up for our team is on the near/shallow end side of the pool deck. We reserve the far end/deep end for the visiting team.
3. What to Bring: Critical are black team suit, goggles (and backups!), towel(s), and team t-shirt and swim cap. Lots of water/fluids—it's going to be HOT and dehydration can be serious for swimmers, who don't realize they're sweating because they're wet.
4. Concessions: Jason's team will be serving up the following, in addition to regular snack bar concessions:
   • Pulled Pork Sandwich w/ Coleslaw - $8
   • Bbq Brisket Sandwich w/ Pickles - $12
   • Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/ Honey Mustard, Pickles - $8
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. We'll hold this after all ages have completed breaststroke, weather permitting.
6. Parent/Coach Relay is also on! We'll plan to hold this at the very end of the night, weather permitting. 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 me at our table when you arrive. We will hold a volunteer meeting (all volunteers from both teams- including both first and second shift timers, as we'll team you up at this time) at 5:45pm near the zero-entry area. Please listen for that announcement and 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:

Questions? Let me know.

Go Racquetfish!
