Good afternoon Stingrays!

Our first home dual meet versus Foster's Mill is tomorrow morning. Swimmers should be onsite at 6:45 am. Please take a minute to read all of the information below.

Parking

Everyone should park in the Summerwood Elementary parking lot. There is no street parking available and the pool parking lot will be blocked off for residents using the other facilities or anyone that requires handicap parking. You can drop off your swimmers, spectators, and gear in the parking lot but after dropping off please follow traffic flow to head to the elementary school.

Please note that Summerwood Elementary currently has construction going on and the parking lot is smaller than previous years. I have marked some additional parking on the back side of SWE. Please make sure to only park in legal spots and not on the street.

A note: parking may fill up quickly. If possible, try to bring one car per family, or if you live close-by and can walk, that would be great!

Arrival

Check-in is at 6:45 am. Coaches will be inside the gate to check swimmers in and help write events on their arms. Warm ups start promptly at 7:10 am.

To help speed up the check in process, please help us by writing your children’s events on their arm. If your child is 10 or under, please also write their name on their arm. This helps the tent parents, ready bench, and timer/scribe volunteers ensure the meet runs smoothly without delays.

Events

We don’t have the heat sheet for the meet yet, but will push the information to SwimTopia as soon as it’s available. Please check your Swimtopia app to find and confirm your swimmer’s event numbers.

Concessions/Merchandise (Cashless)

Show up hungry - we will have breakfast, snacks, lunch, and drinks items available for credit card purchase. We will also have merchandise for sale inside the gate. No cash accepted. All sales benefit our team!

Family Set Up

Our team sets up on the lake side of the pool.

We ask that no one set up chairs or permanently sit inside the pool gate. Walkways and stairs must remain clear for people to pass through to the bleachers, concessions, etc. This is especially important now that we have extra gates/fences in the facility. Our meet tomorrow will also have double the number of people from time trials.

What to Bring

Swimmers need goggles, at least one towel, a lawn chair (if they have one) and have sun screen applied. Swimmers should stay in the team tent and be listening for their events. Many families bring popup tents, chairs, coolers, additional snacks, and towels.

It’s going to be HOT tomorrow. Please remember to bring fans, plenty of water and be aware of staying as cool and hydrated as possible.

If your swimmer or anyone in your party requires emergency medical equipment (i.e. an epi pen or inhaler) to please be sure to bring that with you.
