Today’s Action Items:
Do these 3 things in SwimTopia
by noon Wednesday, please.
1. Declare whether your
swimmer(s) will be participating in Saturday’s meet.
2. Pick which volunteer job(s)
your family member(s) will fill at the meet.
3. Indicate what item(s) you
would like to donate to concessions, if any.
The swimmer attendance sign-up
will close at noon on Wednesday. Coach Mel must submit the meet entries
on Thursday. She is unable to add swimmers once the entries are
submitted, so it is imperative that you sign up in a timely manner.
Swimmer sign-ups are now open
for every meet throughout the season. If you wish, you can mark your
swimmer(s) as Attending or Not Attending in advance.
Since the Volunteer
Jobs/Concessions Donation button is right below the Swimmer Attendance
button, it would be terrific if you could do all of your SwimTopia
sign-ups at the same time.
Parents please advise and direct
your child/children to stay on deck and listen for their event
number. The last meet was a challenge for the clerk of course trying to
find kids due to the amount of playing outside with the squirt guns.
Know Before You Go:
Arrive on time: we want to host
an outstanding, on-time, and smooth-running meet!
Spectators will all sit in the
mezzanine; wet swimmers are not permitted upstais.
GM swimmers will assemble on the
right/front/parking lot-side bleachers.
IHST swimmers will assemble on
the left/back/patio-side bleachers.
Swimmers are expected to remain
on the bleachers for the duration of the meet.
If you wish to set up a canopy
and chairs on the back patio, you may.
IH will offer concessions for
purchase. We now accept cards!
Swimmers: upon arrival, check in
with Coach to get your race assignments.
Volunteers: check in with Leigh
Sylvain, Meet Manager, about your meet job.
Timers: check in with Pui
Nguyen, Head Timer, to officially sign in. Timers: sign in on
the official meet sign in. Everyone,
please time the half you are signed up for.
We will conduct a Guppy Race
during the break. If you have little swimmers who are not yet on the
team, who would like to swim one length of the pool, bring a suit for
them!
Families are expected to stay
until the end of the meet (unless you have coordinated with the Coach) as
the Coach doesn’t decide who will swim the final relays until the end of
the meet.
Additional Notes:
Concessions donations are
optional, but we are grateful for any you are able to make. Anything you
are able to donate means more funds for the Torpedoes!
All swimmers must have an IHST
cap for meets. You may order these on SwimTopia. Our Gear Manager, Kim
Isreal, will deliver them to you at practice. Caps are also available at
Concessions at our home meets.
There will be no swim practice Thursday
evening July 4th and no swim practice on Friday morning July 5th.
Friday Night set-up: please stay
on Friday night to help setup for Saturday’s meet.
Let me know if you have any
questions about Saturday’s meet.
Go Torpedoes!
