June 10th Pelham Falls
This Week’s Meet: For the first time in 2 years, we have an away meet and in-person opponent. Get Ready and Go FOX!
Where: Pelham Falls Pool, 6 Chatley Way Greer, SC 29651 (The main pool is to the right of the entrance as you pull into the neighborhood).
When: June 10th, starts 5:30 PM
- Swimmer Arrival Time: 4:30
- Warm Up Time: 4:45 (10&Under), 5:00 (11&Up)
- First half volunteers: Arrive no later than 5:00 PM. Volunteers will meet at a table by the lifeguard shack; find Kelly Keever to check in. (Volunteer assignments can be viewed in the Swimtopia App).
- Officials Meeting: 5:15
Parking: Pelham Falls has limited spaces in the parking lot next to the pool, but will have the field next to the pool open as long as it is dry. Once those two areas are full, please park on side streets around the pool - one side of the street only. There is no parking allowed on Pelham Falls Drive.
Swimmer Areas: There will be an area on the grass behind the pool and near the volleyball court set aside for Foxcroft. They will provide a tent, and the area is shaded in the afternoon/evening.
Spectators: Like Foxcroft, Pelham Falls is allowing spectators on deck, but no chairs. Chairs can be in our team area or under the shaded oak trees outside the pool. When your swimmer is ready to swim, you are welcome to come on deck to watch. Please remember tent parents/field hands are responsible for getting swimmers ready for their events, not babysitting. Please keep this in mind when you decide where to sit.
Masks: PF is NOT requiring masks for swim meets as per their HOA. Of course you are welcome if you feel more comfortable.
Concessions: They will have a concession stand open for the evening and will have drinks, snacks, and dinner items available. It is a cash only concession stand.
Heat Sheet: We expect to have an electronic copy of the heat sheet to share soon.
Pool Length: Like most SAIL teams, Pelham Falls has a 25 meter pool. This is about 7 feet longer than our pool. Swimmer’s times WILL be slower than they are used to. This does not mean they have actually added time. Converted times can be found in Swimtopia.
Additional Meet Reminders:
- Swimmers should wear their 2021 Foxcroft T-shirts to the meet. Parents who are not deck officials, we hope to see lots of Foxwear!
- Please remind your swimmers how important it is to stay in the team area so that our volunteers can locate them for their events. Please make sure to 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.
- Fox Friends: Don’t forget your Fox Friend!
- 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.
- If your swimmers would like their event numbers on their arms, please try to write them prior to arriving at the meet. You can find their events in the Swimtopia App. Under Events, click on the swim meet for this week, and you will see a list of all your swimmers’ events listed in event number order.
- It is against SAIL rules to consume alcohol during a swim meet.
June 17th Meet: Sign-ups for our next home meet will open at 8 PM Thursday night. It’s a good idea to get in the habit of signing up for the next meet as soon as you get home from the current meet! Please also fill out the “Intent to Swim Divisionals, Championships, and Classics” if you have not done so already.
Fun Friday: There will be no practice on Friday. Join us at the shelter at 9:30 AM for donuts, ribbons, and water slides!
Emails: If you would like your swimmer to receive these emails, reply back with their name and email address, and we will add it to their Swimtopia profile.
