Howdy Tsunamis!

Here is what you need to know for tomorrow!

Time Trials will begin at 8am

Time Trials will be held at Adamson Lagoon - the same place we have practice. We are watching the weather closely but cannot predict what will happen that far in advance. The current timeline has the final event starting at 10:13am. This will be a fast meet & we really need to get it done as we MUST have time trial times in order to have swimmers register for dual meets in the future. 

Check-in will begin at 7:15am

There will be a coach stationed at a table as soon as you walk into Adamson Lagoon. They will check you off the list help you know what events you are swimming and write them down for you if needed. 

There will also be Heat Sheets available for sale at check in. 

Warm-ups will begin at 7:30am

Older swimmers (11 & up) will warm up in lanes 6-4, Younger swimmers (10 & under) will warm up in lanes 3-1 & 7 (the lane closest to the far side of the pool). We will have coaches running warm up so your swimmers will know what they need to do once they get down there. Warm-ups will begin on the starting block side of the pool. 

Volunteers

Volunteers will need to check in with Ashli as soon as they arrive. Please do not wait until right before it is time for you to start. She will be able to help you by explaining where you will go, when you will go there, what to expect and if you are experienced with volunteering she will probably be able to use your help in explaining how things work to some of our new volunteers. If ANY of you do not know who Ashli is or need help finding her find me & I will introduce you. 

General Meet Info / Operations

For some of you this may be your first meet ever & we are here to help you with this. Parents will not be behind the blocks unless you are volunteering as a timer. Parents will not be at the Ready Bench unless you are volunteering at Ready Bench. Parents will not be with the Coaches unless you need to let us know information that directly pertains to the swim meet (your swimmer needs to leave, scratch an event, wants to try to add an event, etc.). This seems pretty strict but these meets move VERY fast and we really just do not have time to manage much of anything else. 

We have the whole pool to ourselves tomorrow morning so you should not have a problem finding a place to "set up camp" for your family. Please try to stay aware of where we are in the meet so that your swimmer does not miss an event. There will be signs posted and someone announcing events that are being called to the Ready Bench. Swimmers will be at the Ready Bench well in advance of their event & being walking over to the starting blocks a few heats prior to the heat they actually swim.

We will NOT have concessions so please be sure to bring refreshments for your family. Even if it does clear up weather wise it is likely to be a little chilly. Please pack some layers for your swimmers. 

Swim fast Tsunamis! See you at the pool!
