Swim Meet 101
Bullpen volunteers arrive at 4:00pm. Most other volunteers arrive at 4:30pm. Swimmers arrive at 4:15 for home meets and 4:30 for away meets. Please be on time. Warmup will start shortly after 4:30 for home meets and 5:00 for away meets. The meet starts at 5:30.
Here's all of the important information you need to know:
1. We will have practice on Thursday morning, the day of the meet. It is important to attend the Thursday practices as the kids get their arms marked and they find out what events they are swimming.
2. Put this number in your phone:

3. Sign up now for volunteer jobs or be assigned. It is mandatory for each family to fill 5 slots. If you do not sign up, we will assign you to a needed job. Also, know that no matter where you are volunteering, you will be able to watch your children swim. There will be helpers to take over so you can go watch.
4. We are always watching the weather, but unless we specifically tell you to stay home, please show up. We will communicate any weather news via the Swimtopia email, Facebook group and Group Me group. If you do not have access to any of these forms of communication, please contact Sarah Wright or Amanda Ellis to be added.
5. Please rest up on Thursday after practice so your kids are full of energy to swim their fins off. Please do not hang out at the pool or in the sun. Go home and relax.
6. Bring money for concessions.
7. Items your swimmer should bring: wear swim team swimsuit, swim team t-shirt, towel, something to sit on (chair or towel), water bottle, snack or $$ to purchase concessions, goggles, extra goggles, something to do in the bullpen - cards, dolls, legos, travel games, etc, water shoes, bug spray, swim cap. What NOT to bring: electronics, iPad, phones, tablets, etc. They WILL get wet. Label everything - it's the best way to get your stuff back.
8. Check lost & found. There is a large bin in the breezeway near the ice machine at the Inverness pool.
