Hey Barracuda Families,

Home Meet #2 this week! We are excited to host the Bentwinds Barracudas on Tuesday, June 23rd. There's a lot in this email so please read carefully!

Below are reminders and details for this week's meet! Go Barracudas!

Meet Details:
Warm-Ups:

• 13 & Up and 11/12 @ 5:00
• 6 & under and 7/8 @ 5:10
• 9/10 @ 5:20

Check-In (and Out): Check-in is 10 minutes prior to your swimmer's warm-up time. All swimmers and volunteers must check-in upon arrival. All swimmers MUST check-out when leaving by crossing their name off the sign-in sheet and letting their coach know. This helps us to know if we have a swimmer available for a relay substitution if needed.

Heat Sheets: Heat sheets will be available on Tuesday on the website. Please also check the posted heat sheets upon arrival to see if anything has changes. If you don't see your swimmer in a relay, check the next age group up. They may be in a swim-up relay if you didn't opt out.

Parking: If it rains before the meet the private property ($5) lot will be closed. Please be aware when parking on the street that you park only on the sides of the roads WITH sidewalks and that you leave sufficient space from corners and fire hydrants.

Meet Etiquette & Sportsmanship - Please remind your swimmers:

• Cheer for teammates from the side of the pool
• After finishing a race, all swimmers should remain in the water until the final swimmer has finished (11 & up will do dive overs for the next race)
• No swimmers in the water in any part of the pool during the meet except during their race(s)

Openings: Volunteer sign-up will close at 8pm tonight. We are in need of a timer for the first half of the meet and ribbon delivery for the second half of the meet. Remember each family needs 4 points for volunteering this year.

Volunteer Meeting: All volunteers please report to the clubhouse gate at 5:45pm for a pre-meet briefing.

Parent Relay: We have a few spots open for the parent relay! Our swimmers love this tradition and it is so fun to have everyone cheering around the pool.

Concessions

We offer concessions where swimmers and families can purchase food, snacks and drinks. We have a grill onsite and will offer burgers and hotdogs for purchase as well as Chick-fil-A and pizza. Lastly, we have a great option for those with dietary restrictions and will again offer a pre-order option from Fratelli’s Delicatessen (deadline is Monday at 8pm).

Concessions are provided through the clubhouse window just inside the front gate. No swimmers are allowed in the clubhouse. Cash and Venmo are accepted.

Sunset Slush is scheduled to be onsite to provide additional concessions for purchase in our parking lot.
