See the attachment for the Volunteer List for this meet.  If you are listed, we are expecting you to show up for duty.  Thanks!

Please "mark" your swimmer's name & age on his or her back shoulder so our deck parents & coaches can give them correct instruction.  Also, we are asking to keep all 8 & under's at one team tent and 9-10's at the other team tent.  Look for our tan team tents when you arrive.

We hope to have the heat sheet emailed to you in the next couple of hours, depending on when both teams are ready to merge the meet. If possible please print it and bring it with you so you can write your swimmer's events on their arm/leg. They are numbered on the heat sheet, but the order will be slightly different than the numbered order.

The events will go as follows:

Exhibition Freestyle (Heat Sheet Events 101-110)

Freestyle for Points (Heat Sheet Events 1-12)

Breaststroke for Points (Heat Sheet Events 13-22)

Medley Relays (Heat Sheet Events 23-32)

Individual Medley for Points (Heat Sheet Events 33-40)

Exhibition Backstroke (Heat Sheet Events 111-120)

Backstroke for Points (Heat Sheet Events 41-52)

Butterfly for Points (Heat Sheet Events 53-62)

Freestyle Relays (Heat Sheet Events 63-72)

The Cleveland pool has 8 lanes, so we will be assigned 4.  All alternate swimmers will be swimming in the point heats in the outside lane number 8.  If we need an alternate to move into an inside lane to take the place of a point swimmer, we will notify that swimmer ahead of the point swim.

All point/alternate swimmers not swimming in 3 individual events should plan on swimming the exhibition heat(s) in freestyle and backstroke. Every swimmer should be swimming individually in at least 2 maybe 3 events in addition to any relays they are in.  Encourage your swimmers to give their all in these events to improve their times in the hopes of earning a point swim.  Please do not leave before the freestyle relays if you are assigned to an A, B, or C relay.

Also parents, please follow the meet so you know when your child is to swim.  Find a deck parent to get them to their event.  Ultimately, the responsibility of swimming the event is on the swimmer and parents.

Stick around for the announcement of the winning team, and then go enjoy Dinner with the Team at Five Guys at 124 Stuart Rd, Cleveland, TN 37312 (about 1 mi from the park)

As always, if you have any questions about the meet, the heat sheet, or anything else, please come see any board member or call!  Our hope is for everyone to have another great swim meet experience.

 

Thanks and Go Tidal Waves!  Beat the Aqua Tigers!
