🐬Meet #4: Tuesday, July 7th at HOME vs. Black Horse Run
- Our swimmers need to be ready to warm up promptly at 5:00pm. Be at the pool before that time (ideally 4:30-4:45) so that your swimmer can be ready with their goggles and number.
- Our theme is Red, White, & Blue. Let’s continue the July 4th celebrations from the weekend and arrive on deck in your USA colors!
- If you are signed up for Meet Set-Up–please arrive by 3:45-4:00 and Parking & Greeter–please arrive by 4:30! All other volunteers, please sign in at the volunteer table between 5:00-5:30. We’ll have our volunteer meeting at 5:45pm.
- We recommend bringing camp chairs, extra towels, and things to keep your kids busy in between races. Please be sure to set-up on the far side of the pool. We reserve the area under the pergola (near concessions) and around the shallow end for the visiting team.
- Please consider walking or carpooling to the meet. If you do drive, please park at the top of the hill. We reserve the parking area closest to the pool for the away team. Feel free to drop off your swimmer and then park. Please also park facing into the natural area vs parallel to the street to fit more cars along the road. Please DO NOT park on our neighbors lawns or on top of the pink flags!
- Support our team by purchasing concessions! Grey Dog Ice Cream will be back to serve delicious cold treats!
- Provided BHR is interested, we will host the 6 and unders butterfly cupcake race immediately following their breaststroke races (we are waiting for confirmation from them). Coaches will be in the lanes with the 6 and unders while they swim “butterfly.” At the end they will receive a cupcake. This is not mandatory; only swimmers that want to try for a cupcake are welcome to swim! Since they do not officially swim butterfly, they are free to leave after they finish swimming breaststroke or after the cupcake race. However, please check with Coach Charlotte before leaving to make sure your swimmer is not swimming in a final freestyle relay before you leave.
- We hope to host another exciting Coaches & Parents Relay after the butterfly cupcake race (we are still waiting for confirmation from BHR). If you are interested in swimming, please let Kristen Oakley know ASAP at 919-623-7092.
- Not Attending: The following swimmers are already marked as “not attending” for this meet. If this information is incorrect or if your child gets sick the day of the meet or something else comes up, please let us know ASAP. Coach Charlotte sets the lineup on Sunday evenings and it is really hard to make day-of changes to our line-up! Coach Charlotte @ 984-269-9326 or Jill @ 757-580-4021 or Joanna @ 973-670-0923.
