If you miss our time for warm-ups there will be no warming up. Swimmers need to come in their swim suits and googles (if wearing them) Remember, you CANNOT wear any suit or cap with another team name or logo.

If for some reason you have RSVP’d yes but your child is sick and cannot attend, please let myself, Sarah Reeves, or Ansley Young know ASAP.

Blue Out:

To celebrate Father’s Day, we are having a Blue Out theme! We will also be hosting Dad Relays mid-meet. Please join us to participate in the theme. Wear your BLUE in support of our Dads and the Sharks. This includes blue tutus, blue lei, and blue hats. We would love to have you participate.

Parking:

The parking lot in front of the pool will be closed. Please park along the road and follow the signs indicating where to park. The tennis courts and the spillway are off limits. Please let your children know and watch the for their safety.

Seating:

Our seating and bullpens will be set up on the side with the baby pool.

Please bring a sharpie to write your lane and heats! Not sure how you should do this? Check the attached photo or ask a coach to help.

When you arrive, please see the coaches to check in so they can hand out an event slip. This will give you the assignments to write with the sharpie. You can also use the SwimTopia app ahead of time to see your child’s events and even track their times throughout the season.

Concessions:

We have an awesome concession stand.We have fresh salad, grilled chicken skewers, BBQ topping scoop, baked potatoes, hamburgers/cheeseburgers, BBQ sandwiches, hot dogs, pizza, chips, candy, sweets, and drinks. Our concession takes cash or Venmo. We will also be having a bake sale to help as a fundraiser.

Volunteers:

All volunteers please check in with Brandy Pavelka by 5:00 pm. If you are on meet set up, please arrive by 4:00 pm.

We have had a few families unable to do their volunteer role due to sickness in their entire family. If you any of you would be available to help with concession set up before the meet, concessions during the meet or 7&8 bullpen second shift it would really help us out.
