Hi October Invite Meet Squad-

I am getting really excited to see all your swimmers race tomorrow at UVAC! I am also really excited when I checked the timers job list last night that the positions were all filled, you all are the best! 

Now time for some reminders:

1- Biggie, let me know ASAP if you have to scratch from the meet and will not make it for any reason. Text (cell: 612-222-4526) is the best because notifications come to my watch. Please let me know by 11am tomorrow. 

2- Arrive at 11am, with a fully stocked swim bag (swim suit, caps, goggles, towels, warm up clothes for the cold pool deck, healthy snacks, and non electronic entertainment (think cards, sketch book, book, mad libs, travel games, etc.).

3- Timers meeting at 11:45 in the lobby. All positions (relief and first shift) report to the meeting. Relief come in around 2:18 (after the 25 Breastrokes, before the 200IMs).

4- Officials and apprentice officials- Check in will Meet Ref. Jess Workman at [email protected]. Officials meeting at 11:15am in the break room on Deck behind lane 0. 

5- Abide by the signage- no parents on Deck. No swimmers in the stands. No flash photography at the start. No photography behind the blocks, even in the stands. 

6- Parking is free (yay!) but limited. Carpool if you can.

7- Snack shack is open.

8- I have included meet info sheet (holy grail of meet), meet entries to know what your swimmer is signed up for, and meet timeline (so you know what you are in for). Many of you have a relay at the end so you are in it until the end, so buckle up! 4 hours at UVAC! 

9- Have fun!

Alright I think that is it for the reminders. Thank you everyone for doing this for your swimmers. It is the best type of support you can give your kiddos, driving them across the state for a fun day of swimming with their teammates! Some of my best swim memories are of hanging out on the pool deck with my teammates.

See you at the UVAC pool tomorrow!
