Inclement Weather Procedures:

Families are more than welcome to bring a canopy to sit under during the meet.
Attached to this email you will find:
- Tomorrow’s heat sheet
- Entry report
- Volunteer list
To locate your swimmer’s events:
- Find your swimmer’s name on the entry report.
- Locate the event number listed beside their name.
- Use that event number to find their heat and lane assignment on the heat sheet.
Please refer to the “How to Mark Your Swimmer” guide before the meet. It is ideal to write your child’s last name and age on their back. Please also mark all events on your swimmer’s arm before arriving to the meet, as this will help create a smoother process for your child.
Grids for SwimmerS
This is really easy. Simply draw a grid (like a tic-tac-toe board) on your swimmers arm.
(usually with a sharpie pen) With the 3 numbers that we talked about above, we write those #’s in the grid and ta-da!!!, your swimmer now knows exactly when and where they need to be for their events.
If for any reason your child is no longer able to attend the meet, please send an email to Coach Phyllis ASAP. [email protected]
Please also take a moment to view tomorrow’s volunteer list. It is looking great, but we do still have a couple of positions that need to be filled. Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to volunteer. We truly cannot run a successful swim meet without your support.
We are excited for a great first meet of the season.
Go Dolphins!
