Greetings Piranha Parents!

We have our last HOME meet of the season tomorrow, July 2, at 6:00 versus Lakemont. Below is some logistical information for the meet. Please pay special attention to the timeline, as it is different this week due to our Super Tuesday celebrations.

Parking

Please allow our visitors to use the two pool parking lots. If you are not close enough to walk to the pool, please park along Connell Drive and utilize the Piranha Path to get to the pool.

Timeline

All swimmers need to be dressed in their team suit and on deck no later than 4:00 pm for our team picture. After pictures, we will warm-up from 4:45-5:15, then head out to get ready for the parade. Our visitors will warm-up from 5:15-5:45. The swimmers will parade down the pool path for Senior Recognition at 5:45.

Volunteers

Thank you to those who have volunteered to help with tonight’s meet! When you arrive, please check in with Tricia Wendel at the picnic tables near the snack bar. There will be a meeting for judges and timers at the Starter’s Podium at 5:30.

Concessions

We have a team-run concession stand during home meets with proceeds benefiting the swim team. This Tuesday, we will be serving Nachos for $3, Hot Dogs for $3, Slice of Marco’s Pizza for $3, along with a selection of snacks, sweets, and drinks for $1. Cash and cards are accepted. (There is a $5 minimum to use a credit card.) Homemade treats are a hot commodity at the concession stand. If you are able to contribute a baked good, please sign-up here.

Spectators and Deck Area

The visiting team’s deck area is between the slide and the 2-ft. section of the pool. Our area is on the far side of the pool towards the diving well. We suggest bringing folding chairs. Summerfield North has a MUCH larger team than our visitors last week and deck chairs will be at a premium. Please watch and cheer from the far side of the pool and the shallow end. Only timers and meet officials should be in the starting block and Clerk of Course areas.

Event Entries

You can see your swimmers’ events on the SwimTopia website or mobile app later this evening and I will send out a Heat Sheet tomorrow. Please know changes may still be made. Swimmers should report to the Clerk of Course prior to each event to ensure they are in the right lane at the right time. We will have a bonus event for our 6&U swimmers immediately following their breaststroke event. 6&U’s who want to compete in the 25-meter butterfly should report back to the starting blocks immediately following their breaststroke heat.

Looking forward to a great meet tomorrow! Please let me know if you have any questions.

With Piranha Pride,

Kathy
