Remember that he have a HOME meet at Wilshire pool Thursday, June 6, against Whitewater Sharks. We are excited for our 1st meet! Read through all this important information, and keep it handy for Thursday:

1) Parking: Parking is very limited. Please walk if you can, or golf cart, carpool, or park at a friend's house close by. The only parking that will be allowed at the pool or in the spaces on the street by the pool are for golf carts or handicapped parking. Please park all other cars in the Publix parking lot. If you'd like to drive through the pool area and drop off chairs, kids, bags, etc. you may do that. We will have a volunteer with helping people cross Holly Grove Rd. - please be careful!

2) Schedule:

4:15 pm Arrive at Wilshire pool + check in with coaches

4:30 - 4:40 pm 10 and younger Wahoo warm ups

4:40 - 4:55 pm 11 and older Wahoo warm ups

4:55 - 5:20 pm Visiting team warms up

5:30 pm Meet starts

3) Concessions: Please bring CASH (small bills appreciated!) for our concession stand, or you may VENMO. We'll have pizza, sub sandwiches, and hot dogs, as well as drinks, candy, and ice pops. A huge THANK YOU to Heidi Berggren for spearheading concessions!

4) Logistics: Your swimmer needs to come wearing a suit, and with goggles, cap (if using one), and a towel.  I recommend sunscreen!  Leave toys like water guns, balls, frisbees, etc. at home please.  Feel free to bring chairs and blankets to sit on. We cram everyone onto our deck, so it will be a tight squeeze, but we think it is safest to keep especially our younger swimmers inside the fence due the cars on Holly Grove Rd. Wahoo familes sit together in 1 section of the pool, and Whitewater sits on the other side - we'll show you where. There is some shade, but also some sun. We plan to run our meet as quickly as possible, so it is important that your swimmer listen for event numbers and get to the bull pen when called. Remember NO PARENTS may be in the bull pen or in the starting and finishing area unless you're volunteering -- wish your swimmers good luck BEFORE they get to the bull pen! Also, we are going to ask that swimmers don't ask for their times after each race, so that the timers focus on writing down the times and getting watches ready. My goal is to finish the meet by 8:30 pm. Also, all 10 and younger swimmers should have their name and age written in Sharpie on their left arm. I also recommend that you have your swimmer's Event #'s written on their arm (some people like to write more - heat, lane, race, etc. but sometimes that confuses swimmers!) We will talk about this at practice on Thursday morning too.  As always, use the restroom right before you leave home as the meet will be very crowded. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who signed up to volunteer!!!

What races will your swimmer be in?  Once entries are completed (Tues or Wed), the races will show up in the app.  I'll also email you a heat sheet of the entire meet.

Send me any questions.

Go Wahoos!
