Meet Saturday June 18
Tomorrow's swim meet is at Governor's Ranch Pool
The warm-up times are below:
6:00am-6:30am 13 & up
6:30am-6:50am 12 & under
The meet will start at 7:00 am.
We will be sitting together as a team. Parents, please bring chairs, tents, blankets, sleeping bags or any other items. Please bring lots of towels and sunscreen. However, it's a little chilly early in the morning. It’s recommended that you bring extra dry clothes for your swimmer.
Please bring healthy snacks for your swimmers. Here is a list of choices that I recommend.
Please make sure your swimmer has a cap and goggles and that the goggles are tightened for their race.
We will be using a buddy system for all meets. Here is the buddies list for the meet.
Immediately after warm-ups, each athlete will find their buddy and stick with them during the meet. They will make sure that they get to the heating area, cheer them on and make sure they come see the coaches before and after each race. Please encourage your swimmer to participate in the buddy system. It really helps us connect as a team and get to know each other as well as have team spirit! **Please check this list and make sure your swimmer has a buddy if they are going to the meet and contact me if you see a problem. Please also tell your swimmer the name of their buddy before the meet.
There will be a heating area. Heating is where swimmers report before they swim their race. There will be an announcer calling the first call for an event and the last call for an event. Please send your swimmer over to the heating area when you hear the first call. Coaches will review this with all the swimmers in the morning.
**All swimmers must tell the coaches they are leaving the meet when they complete all of their races.
**Governor's Ranch does NOT allow swimmers to mark on their body with marker. The exception in the hand or inside of the wrist. Please be sure your swimmer does not mark on themselves for this meet!
Make note of the attached files.
- The relay list for the meet.
- The BC entry list by swimmer's name. Coaches want to make sure your swimmer knows their event number and event. You will see that relays are noted on this document. Relays will be identified with a letter and number. The letter identifies the group (A or B group) and the number identifies where they are swimming 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th in the relay. In the Medley relay, 1st is back, 2nd is breast, 3rd is fly, and 4th is free.
- The heat sheet for the meet.
The SwimTopia App will also contain your child's individual events, relays, and work shifts for this meet. The App is available from Google Play Store or Apple's App Store. We are hoping that you can follow the events and heats from this app.
If you are running late to the meet or can not come to the meet, please text me ASAP!
Please feel free to reach out if you need anything clarified or have questions.
I am so excited for tomorrow and remember, we are all there for the swimmers...to encourage, love and support them:)
See you soon-
