Parents,

This is our first away meet.  Please READ ALL the guidelines provided. Thanks!

I still need two timers for the meet tomorrow.  Per your agreement with the swim team you must volunteer twice.  If you can't volunteer, please pay your exemption.  I can send you a invoice.  I am keeping track of who volunteers and your child will not be allowed to swim if you do not meet the volunteering requirements.

• We will be giving out numbers at the Deerlake Clubhouse on Thursday (6/15) morning at 815am. If your child doesn't get their numbers in the am, please have them check in with coaches upon arrival at the meet.
• The meet is in the Laurel Springs neighborhood which is a gated community.  
• Parking- the lot we are to use is at 5400 Laurel Springs Parkway which is across the street from the pool/guardhouse and NOT inside the neighborhood. There will be a crossing guard assisting during the entire meet. Once you park, walk across the street, past the main gate, and turn left into the pool.  Just to be clear do not go through the guard house in your car.  The only exception is if you are coming with someone who can not physically make the walk.  In this case, proceed to the guard house, they will allow the driver to drop off at the pool and then ask you to parking in the previously mentioned parking.  See the attached map for a visual.  
• In the event of thunder, parents and swimmers will be asked to wait in their car for the storm to pass. 
• Please arrive no later than 415 pm. Warm up will begin promptly at 430pm.
• Meet begins at 530pm
• Our bullpen will be to the left upon entering the deck.  Swimmers are NOT to play in the small family pool.  Swimmers need to stay in the bull pens. They should not be wandering around in between races. If coaches can not find them, they will miss their opportunity to race because the meet will not pause while we look for them. Our team will also suffer because they will loose us potential points.
• If kids want snacks, encourage them to wait for a big break in between their races before heading to concessions
• Do not put sunscreen on your swimmer number. It will make it come off.
• Have your child bring extra towels.
• Concession will accept cash and venmo.  There will be Chick-Fil-A, pizza, chips, candy, drinks....Popbar will also be at the meet. 
• Hawaiian Theme

FINALLY, If you haven't RSVP for next couple meets please do so TODAY! You do have to physically go into your account and tell us that your child will or will not be swimming next week. The coaches work very hard to build lineups and rebuilding them with last minute changes is complicated. Things like illness happen and we totally understand if your child is sick at the last minute. Please be proactive by rsvp early & if you can help it do not change your status. This helps us so much! If anyone doesn't understand the process, I am happy to do it with you.
