Evening!

Two items in addition to the earlier email (included below just in case).

1. Please keep athletes indoors, well fed and hydrated prior to tomorrow's meet.

2. The theme for tomorrow's meet is "Pajama Party" and Thursday's theme is "Dress like a coach."

Earlier email:

The competitive season is underway and it will be a blur! Our first two meets are tomorrow (Tuesday) night at Maple Manor and Thursday night at home against Sunny Willow. Details about those meets are below with some other important reminders. Due to the weather for the rest of the week and the league schedule, there is no time to reschedule due to excessive heat. We will bring all of our tents for the kids (if you have one, please bring it as well) and there will be breaks in the meet for volunteers, athletes and spectators to jump in the pool quickly. Maple Manor also has a separate (but small) dive pool that can be used to cool off.

Please let us know immediately if your athlete(s) will NOT attend tomorrow’s meet due to the heat using this GOOGLE FORM. DO NOT CHANGE RSVP’S IN SWIMTOPIA FOR TOMORROW, USE THE GOOGLE FORM!

Reminders about meets:

1. Swimmers must remain in the team area when they are not swimming!!!
2. Parents are not allowed on the deck unless they are working the meet (volunteering gets you a great view!)
3. Meet report times:
   1. Divers: 4pm Tuesday, BEFORE 3:45 pm for Thursday
   2. Swimmers: 4:45pm for both meets
4. Volunteers: Many families have yet to sign up for any volunteer slots. Volunteers should check in by 4:45 for dive workers, 5:45 for swim workers. Please check in with Kate/Tommy Rodgers (if you don’t know who they are, ask Chuck, Will or Katie!). The following volunteer slots are still available for the first 2 meets:
   1. Tuesday: 2 Place Judges, 1 Dive judge, 1 Team Area/Ready Bench

Reminder about Donations for Concessions. If you have not done so already, please bring your donations before the meet on Thursday. Donations can be dropped in the swim shed during practice hours both AM and PM. If those times don't work you can leave it right out front of the swim shed garage door and we'll make sure it gets put away. If you are bringing something like chocolate there is a freezer to put it in as the next few days are expected to be exceptionally hot.

Other items:

• Makeup Pictures are next Monday evening (6/30) at 6pm at the pool.
• Raffle tickets for the Lottery basket and Wine basket will be on sale at all home meets.

See you all soon!
