Dear Stingray Parents and Swimmers,

We are looking forward to our first YMCA meet of the year this Sunday, November 2nd at Brandon High School in Ortonville, Michigan!  Here is some very important information about the meet this weekend.  

Schedule:

Please plan to arrive about 10-15 minutes before the beginning of warmup so that your swimmer is ready to jump in the pool at the beginning of warmup.  Swimmers should come dressed in their suits, the locker rooms can be crowded.  Parents and coaches are NOT allowed in the locker rooms, per safe swim rules.

Timers:

We have an urgent request from the hosting team in regard to the meet on Sunday, November 2nd.  They are in need of timers for both sessions.  They are requesting that we send at least TWO timers to each session.  Please reply to this email as soon as possible if you are able to time!  

Swim Gear:

Make sure that your swimmer has his or her team suit and wears a team cap.  Swimmers are not allowed to wear caps with other logos, they can be disqualified.  Swimmers should bring a towel, water bottle, and some small snacks that are not messy, but are easy to eat, on the pool deck. 

Parents of 12 & Under Swimmers - Please write your swimmers’ event numbers (and maybe event names,) on their arms BEFORE they go on to the pool deck. 

Fire Up Stingrays!  It’s GOOO time!
