Good Evening Shark Families!!

Please make sure your children are drinking water and eating breakfast before morning and afternoon practices.  We have had several kids feel faint during morning practices in particular.  

We have our meet against Gower tomorrow at home.  I know everyone is hoping for the After Meet Party.  We will make that decision tomorrow based on weather and the ending time of the meet.  Fingers crossed! 

Meet Set Up:

We will be setting up for the meet during the morning practices.  Please come help us during that time 9am-11am, even if your swimmer is old enough to come alone.  If everyone pitches in then the work goes quickly, but it is very difficult and takes a lot of time when only a few people help.  

Meet starts at 4 

Warm ups 

• 10 and under- 2:45-3:00 
• 11 and up- 3:00-3:15 

Drop Off:

Please drop off your swimmers in the Briar Creek cul-de-sac. Once the swimmer has been dropped off, you may park anywhere in the neighborhood where there is not a sign saying “no parking” or across the street at Covenant Church. Covenant is also providing parking for the BMW Golf Tournament so they have asked us to park in their back parking lot.  They are always so kind to let us use their parking lot so let's please respect them with their request.  There will be a sherriff’s deputy available at some times to assist with crossing Old Spartanburg Rd.

Concessions:

Concessions will be sold for cash and cards. We will also have a snow cone truck there.

Seating:
There will be no chairs allowed on deck this year. Families can set up tents and chairs in the parking lot. We have designated areas for our team and the away team. Please look over the attached parking lot diagram to know where you can set up. Then you can come on deck to watch your swimmer(s). This will allow for us to have more room on deck and enjoy watching the races.Heat Sheets:

I have attached the heat sheet. We will NOT be selling them tomorrow. Feel free to print it or use the Swimtopia App. Some heats have been combined as noted on the heat sheet, but changes will inevitably happen tomorrow so expect some changes.

Bad Weather Plan:

Very heavy rain—In case of heavy rain, swimmers will be asked to leave their tent area. They may come in the clubhouse, but space is limited. They may also go to their cars with parents

Severe weather—In the event of severe weather, all spectators and swimmers should return to their cars. We will be monitoring with the National Weather Service. It is at the lifeguards and Meet Referee discretion whether to stop the meet or not. The Meet Referee, a lifeguard, Meet Director, and SAIL Reps from each team will decide when the meet shall resume.Alcohol:

As part of the SAIL organization by-laws, no alcohol is permitted during SAIL sponsored events.

Go Sharks!
