Tomorrow's swim meet is at Grant Ranch Pool

The warm-up times are below:

6:00am-6:25am 12 & up

6:25am-6:40am 11 & under

The meet will start at 7:00 am sharp!

We will be sitting together as a team. 

 Bear Creek will set up on the east side of the pool as much as possible. All of the tables under the east canopy can be used as well as the tables and Area on the big deck on the east side of the Village center. They will have the play area taped off, and they would prefer families leave the cement area on both ends of the pool for swimmers and parents watching their kids swim (they will have the tables taped off-but wanted you to be aware.) 

All of the tables at the Grant Ranch Pool have umbrellas and they encourage families to use them.

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 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.

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-

PS- Grant Ranch has informed me that they will have a parent/coach relay after the backstroke events and encourage us to have one as well.  If you are a swimmer and think you could complete a 50 freestyle, please send me a text and we can see if we can get a relay together!:)
