with the Swim Coordinators, at 5:30pm, at the pavilion by the slide.
The Referee will also meet with Volunteers at about 5:45pm, please
listen for announcements.
Weather: As
with every Meet, we swim in the rain, however we will communicate
any last minute updates about thunderstorm waiting periods via text(Swimtopia)
if severe weather is a concern. If we have thunder and lightning,
you will receive instructions, but please do not assume the Meet is
postponed or cancelled. The Meet official and both teams will do
everything possible to hold the Swim Meet. Please stay nearby in
the grassy area (keep an umbrella handy!) or your cars, and we will
provide frequent SwimTopia updates.
Seating
for parents, spectators, and swimmers is
the same as last year: outside of the pool deck, in the
grassy areas. Standing Room only on the pool deck. Pool Deck Map
attached.
Restrooms: You
may use the restrooms near the tennis courts or the restrooms on
the pool deck. Restrooms inside the upper level of the club
house are strictly off limits to everyone except for
concessions volunteers.
Meet will
start promptly at 6pm. Once swimmers have completed all of their events,
their attendance is no longer required at the meet, however it can
be quite exciting to watch the last of the events, and hear the
announcement with the final score : )
