Home Meet vs Healthquest
Things to know:
1. Please arrive by 4:45 for a 5PM warm-up. The meet begins at 6PM.
2. If you park in the spots farthest from the pool toward the woods, please try to park two deep where you can especially if you have more than one vehicle for your family. We can also park 2 or more deep in the grass between the tennis court and the trash bin. We cannot park in the neighborhood. All of our vehicles must be in the lot. There is additional grass parking near the entrance to the pool.
a. When you enter the parking lot, there is a grassy area to the left of the tennis courts. Several cars can park there in a row perpendicular to the entry as shown.
2. Please be sure to leave room for the other team. They only have 20 swimmers but we like to make sure they get the entire area by the diving boards and any space they want next to the pool slide side.
3. There will be an area marked off for Flow Managers for parents to deposit their swimmers 5 heats early, please. We cannot come and find your kids. Please have them to the Flow Managers on time so they do not miss their events.
4. The pool will be selling pizza, corn dogs, pbjs, drinks, chips, and candy.
5. This is a fast meet but we have plenty of time. The kids will be working very hard as there is not a ton of time between events. We will also be combining events because we have so few entries overall. We have numbered lanes accordingly and will announce all combinations as they occur.
6. The heat sheet is attached.
7. We will do our best to answer questions tomorrow before 1PM. After that, Rachael will try to check her messages as she can.
8. Remind your swimmers to relax and just have fun. We are on our home turf and just working toward new benchmarks and stretching ourselves to prepare for our next phase of training.
9. Remind them that strokes with windmill arms where one is out at a time (freestyle and back) have a one-hand touch ending. Strokes where both arms are being used together (breast and fly) require a two-hand touch at the end. They are ready!
10. Have fun too!
