Parents,

We are excited for our first HOME meet Tuesday 5/27 with Kings Cove! Remember we will have no practice tomorrow with the Memorial Day holiday. We will follow the normal practice schedule Tuesday morning. A few details for the meet:

Arrival: Team group photo will be taken promptly at 4:30 pm so that we can start warm-ups on time before the swim meet. Please plan to give yourself time to park and get settled so your swimmer is there by 4:20 pm to be placed in the picture. If your swimmer is not there, they will not be in the photo. Please wear your team swimsuit and/or your CW Tidal Waves t-shirt or other blue shirt for the picture.

Warmups: Our team will begin warming up promptly at 5 pm. Swimmers need to be ready to jump in the water when their age group is called!

Parking: Please pay attention and do not park on the side of the street with "no parking" signs so emergency vehicles can access if needed and cars can move through easily. Please also do not park in other people's driveways on Spindrift. Carpool if you can to leave space for our visitors. If you notice anyone double parking, please let one of the Board members (pink tanks) know so we can make an announcement.

Volunteers: Please check in at the volunteer table upon arrival, even if working the second shift. This helps us know who is there and prevents us from searching for volunteers during the meet! We also appreciate everyone’s flexibility as we sometimes have to shift slots around. If you are in the 2^nd shift, please listen for the switchover. We still have one volunteer position open. If you are able to help us fill it, please let the volunteer table know upon your arrival - we would greatly appreciate it!

Concessions: We will have pizza, Chick-fil-A sandwiches, hot dogs, nachos, fruit, candy, water and soft drinks. Cash and Venmo only please!

Weather: Make sure you have the Swimtopia app downloaded and notifications turned on. If we hear thunder we have to clear the pool deck completely and will communicate delays and updates via phones. We need to make it through event 46, so that is our goal!

Theme: Our theme this week is LUAU! Parents, friends, and swimmers feel free to come dressed in theme! Leave faces clean for the group photo!

Heat Sheets: Events will be posted in Swimtopia and we will share a Heat Sheet pdf when it is available. Remember to mark up your swimmers before arrival! Instructions can be found here.

Events: Please help us ensure your swimmers are lined up in their lane 3 events prior to their event. This helps the coaches not have to chase as much!
