Torpedoes,

Happy Memorial Day! Remember, no practice today for the holiday. Please read entire email.

Wednesday, May 28^th is our first swim meet and the second to last day of school for most swimmers! To ensure the meet does not go too late, there will be NO relays at this meet, only individual events. There is NO practice the day after each meet.

Wednesday, May 28: Arrive at The Club Pool. Swimmer arrival 4PM and meet begins at 5:30PM.

Meet Show Times.

• All Swimmers arrive at 4:00 PM to be organized and do swim warm ups. If you have a middle schooler, just arrive as soon as you can. Torpedoes warm ups begin at 4:30PM.
• All Tent Parents arrive at 4:00 PM to be organized, trained, and begin markups.
• All other Shift 1 volunteers arrive 4:30 PM to be organized and trained on-the-spot.
  

Remember, parking is only allowed on one-side of Homeward Way so do not park where there are no-parking signs.

Weather forecast.

You will not need to ask myself or Coach questions whether we will have the meet due to weather. Those updates will be proactively pushed via SportsYou, SwimTopia, email, etc. Silence means everything is as planned.

Packing for the Meet.

• A bag to keep all your kid's stuff in
• Cold water & Gatorade.
• Healthy snacks
• Towels
• Swim cap & goggles
• Sunscreen (only apply after marked black sharpie w/events)
• Insect repellant
• Cash/Zelle for concessions (pizza, snacks, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, Drinks, candy)
• Folding chair for your swimmer and yourself
• Books or games to enjoy between events

Label EVERYTHING with your child's first & last name! Especially your team t-shirt!

You are welcome to take your swimmers to the concession stand, etc., between events, let the Tent Parent know when you take your child then return them expeditiously. Make sure to check your child out with a Tent Parent at the end of the swim meet.

Final item – Swimmer markup. Steve set up a fantastic “Tent Parent 101” guide on how to read heat sheets and how to mark up your swimmers HERE. If you are confident in marking then do it before you leave the house, otherwise they will be marked in the tents. Make sure to mark swimmers BEFORE spraying sunblock on them.

Practice after meet.
NO PRACTICE on Thursday, May 29^th. Morning practice will begin on Friday, May 30^th. Check out the website for swim times.

End of Season Party.

Our End of Season party will be a pool party this year at Ellis Creek Pool on Tuesday, June 24^th. The HOA would not approve a weekend party, so we had to change the date of our celebration. Please make sure to note this date change. We apologize for this change, but we have tried multiple venues to host our big group and came up against many roadblocks. More details to follow!

GO TORPEDOES!!!

Dan
