We will not have concessions outside of the vending machines. Please come with plenty of food and snacks for your swimmers. No class containers.
Here are important notes for the meet:
- Athletes and families will be staged in the cafeteria. Please pack warm clothes and extra towels for your athletes. They should have sandals or shoes on when walking around the building and between the cafeteria/deck.
- Athletes will need to bring their towel or parka on deck to dry off before returning to the cafeteria. It will help the hallways not get a slippery.
- Swimmers will want to pack healthy snacks and food for during the meet. Here are some ideas: plenty of water, sugar free or lite Gatorade/Powerade, protein shake or chocolate milk for recovery, protein bars, beef jerky, protein bites snack packs , bananas, protein bars, trail mix, string cheese, yogurt, applesauce, string cheese, turkey roll-ups…. (They should avoid bringing candy, items of high sugar, or heavy foods as to not get sick during the meet.)
- We will need volunteers during the meet to help with timing. Please plan on volunteering if possible! It is super easy, and we will teach you how to do it. Any help is appreciated. You can sign-up to time through the team unify website (by clicking the job sign-up button in the event information).
- Parents will be able to move to the pool deck after warm-ups concludes around 2:00 pm. You can either sit on the bleachers or bring a small folding chair to sit on deck (only allowed between the bleachers or near the pool office). Please plan on rotating in and off the deck as it can get hot when a ton of bodies are on deck. We will have a speaker in the cafeteria to allow you to keep up with the events in the pool.
- No pictures or videos may be taken from behind the blocks or near the pool deck doors.
- If you are running late or have any issues on Saturday, you can reach me at 224.239.7488.
See you Saturday!
Have a wonderful day,
Nicole
