Event Numbers

It will help the tent parents out if you go ahead and write your swimmers’ event numbers on their arms before arriving at the meet. You can find their events in the Swimtopia App. Under Events, click on Swim Meet Away vs. WG/BC, and you will see a list of all your swimmers’ events listed in event number order.

Meet Reminders

- Please remind your swimmers how important it is to stay in the tent so that our volunteers can locate them for their events. Avoid sitting elsewhere and especially with coaches. Also, please have them keep their area clean and their items in their bags. We need everyone to throw their trash away.

- Parents and swimmers should have the expectation that relay line-ups may have last minute changes based on the most recent times. This is a practice familiar to swimmers in year-round swimming. Relay spots are not guaranteed and are solely the discretion of our coaches.

- Fox Friends: Swimmers should know who they have as a Fox Friend and be on the lookout for opportunities to cheer the swimmer during the meet. A listing of who your swimmer has as a Fox Friend is on the supply closet door at the pool.

- Weather Delays: The meet will proceed in the rain, but will be postponed for thunder or lightning. Swimmers may be sent to cars to wait out a storm. All communication regarding delays will be through the Remind group text.

Fun Friday this week

There will be no practice on Friday. Join us for a special evening Fun Friday – a Dive-In Movie!

We will be showing Toy Story on the big screen at the pool. The movie will start at 8 PM and all swimmers should be picked up by 10 PM. Ribbons will be handed out.

Our 10 AM Fun Fridays will start next week.
