Warm-Up & Arrival Times -
- Sunday All Ages - Warm-up at 12:30pm, Arrive to the facility by 12:15pm
TEAM WARM-UP IS NOT OPTIONAL! Our expectation is that each swimmer participating in the session arrives early to the facility and gets in the water on time for warm-up. Please prepare accordingly to make sure your swimmer is not late getting into the water. This is disruptive and makes things difficult for the other swimmers on our team and our coaching staff. Swimmers who have not arrived for warm-up within 15 minutes of our team's warm-up period starting will be automatically scratched from the session and will not be allowed to participate in the meet.
Meet Fees & Date of Charge - Fees are $3 per individual event, $2 per relay event per swimmer, $6 per swimmer host team participation surcharge, and a $5 per swimmer YDSC Coach Travel Fee. You can use the swimmer entries document at the top of this email to add up your swimmer's fees total that will be charged for this meet. Meet fees will be charged to swimmer's accounts on Saturday, February 22nd.
Facility Address -
Knox County Family YMCA
1324 W Carl Sandburg Dr
Galesburg, IL 61401
Additional Reminders -
- Please read the meet packet thoroughly prior to the meet as it has additional information that may be useful to you. This email just hits the highlights for the meet and does not mention everything in the packet.
