Home Meet against Alpharetta - Please read in full
Hi Swim Families!
Thursday, we host our first meet of the season against The Alpharetta Sharks. The meet starts promptly at 5:30. Please have your swimmers at the pool in time for warm-ups. We encourage families to carpool or walk when possible, as parking is very limited. Allow time to park and walk.
Home meets: Please arrive by 4:00 pm for 4:15 pm warm ups.
Parents are responsible for supervising their children during meets. Swimmers will spend most of the meets in the bullpen area with others in their age group, but help with supervision is always needed! Please ensure that swimmers are in the bullpen area well before their events so that the bullpen volunteers can line them up.
What to bring to a meet: team suit, team cap, team t-shirt (with name written on the tag!), goggles, several towels, sunscreen, activities to pass the time between races such as a deck of cards. Please keep your swimmers and yourselves hydrated during meets!
Meet Preparation: It is helpful if 10 and under swimmers arrive with their first and last names written on their top left shoulders/backs with a Sharpie marker. They should also have a grid listing their events on their inside forearm. The list of events will be made available on the day of the meet. You can find instructions on how to do that HERE
Coaches will not be marking arms this year. They need to be focused on getting the kids warmed up and preparing for the meet
The theme this week is USA (red, white and blue)
Our concession choices this week will be: Chick-fil-a sandwich with chips and a cookie, hot dogs, and pizza. We will also be selling an assortment of drinks, snacks, candy, and popsicles. Venmo, Cash or Credit accepted. All concessions proceeds go straight back to the swim team, so come hungry!
We will be handing out team shirts starting tomorrow please write your child(en)‘s name inside the shirt! We hope sway bags and swim caps will be ready to distribute soon
Lastly, let’s keep our pool in great shape by picking up trash and helping to put the chairs back where they go after the meet.
We look forward to a great meet!! Go Barracudas!!
