Parents,

This is a long email, but please make sure you read it all as it has very important information regarding the Meet Saturday.

Attached you will find the Heat Sheet for the Mock Meet this Saturday.  This will have the Event #, Heat #, and Lane # that your swimmer will be racing in.  All swimmers will be racing in multiple races so please make sure you find all of your races. Also attached is a pdf that explains how to read a heat sheet.  Please print a heat sheet and highlight your swimmer's races so you know when to send your child to the ready bench during the meet.  Please also write with a sharpie the necessary information on your swimmer's shoulder blade: First Initial, Last Name, and DCD.  Please see the attached document "What to write on your swimmer".

READY BENCH

The ready bench is the area that your swimmer must report to so that they can be organized prior to their race.  For those of you with little ones please walk your swimmer to the ready bench and hand them off to the "Clerk of Course" volunteers. Clerk of Course are the volunteer parents that help organize the swimmers into their race groups.  Parents are not allowed to congregate in the ready bench area so hand your swimmer off and return to your tent.  During the meet you will see flip number signs located on the deck.  These numbers will indicate which events need to report to the ready bench. They will also make announcements on what groups need to report to the ready bench.  Parents it is your responsibility to get your kids to the ready bench on time.  If they are not at the ready bench they will miss their race.

RSVPs FOR MEETS - IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We still have over half of the team that has not RSVPd for the first real meet of the season which is next Saturday May 30th. The deadline to RSVP for the meet is Saturday.  Thus, we need everybody to go in and RSVP (Yes or No) for all of the meets this season.  Even if you will not be attending a meet we need an RSVP of No.If you do not RSVP your swimmer does not get entered into any races. This is a very important step in organizing our meets and heat sheets every week so please get this done ASAP!!!

See you all bright and early Saturday morning!
