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.

Know Before You Go:

Team Seating & Setup: Torpedoes will be seated in the paved area to the left of the pool, closer to the pool entrance. Please bring canopies, chairs, and blankets. Greenbelt will be seated closer to the far end of the paved area.

Arrive on time: we want to host an outstanding, on-time, smooth running meet!

Swimmers: upon arrival, check in with Coach to get your race assignments.

Volunteers: check in at the Data Manager’s table to the right of the pool shed.

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.

Concessions:

Your support at the concessions stand is vital to keeping our team running smoothly! Whether through volunteering, donating supplies, or simply making purchases, every contribution directly helps cover operational costs, from equipment and facility fees to insurance and coaching salary. Thank you for being a part of our community and helping us thrive.

Parking Details:
Please park in the school’s main parking lot. Please note: no vehicles are allowed to park on the walking path to the pool. You may drop off gear/swimmers near the walking path, but you cannot park.

Friday Night set-up:

Please stay on Friday night to help set up for Saturday’s meet.

This is our final dual meet of the season — and what a season it’s been!

We’ve been going strong all summer, and now it’s time to finish just as strong. Let’s keep the momentum going, bring the energy, and show up and show out as only Torpedoes can!

Go Torpedoes!
