Good Morning Orca Families, 

Tomorrow is the big day, our first swim meet. Our warm-ups will start at 4:30 and the meet will begin at 5:00. The home team has asked us not to arrive until after 4:00pm. Please arrive by 4:15 to get ready for warm-ups. There is limited parking at the pool. They have encouraged carpooling. On the second page of the attached meet announcement you will find a parking map, please park in the green areas. You will also see info on the meet announcement about what side of the pool to set-up on, and they will have a food truck on site. 

Please plan to stay at the meet to fulfill your workshifts. Even if your swimmer is not scheduled in a late relay, things often change with relays as the meet progresses so please speak with a coach before leaving. We do need two people who have done the training to move over to clerk for the second half of the meet. If you can move yourself over that would be great, otherwise Melissa, our volunteer coordinator will assign someone there. And if you have not downloaded the swimtopia app please do so. It will send reminders to you as kids are due to swim. 

I'm also attaching a list of things to park for a swim meet (this is the same list I posted in our facebook group yesterday). If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. 

Thursday Evening Practice we are inviting all swimmers to participate. We will be giving out ribbons from Wednesday's meet and we will be making our team banner. We hope to see you there! 

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Bonnie
