Good after(HOT AND HUMID)noon Waves!  We are looking forward to a great meet tomorrow against the Shenandoah Sharks!  A few things you need to know.

 

TENTS and CHAIRS - Bring them and set them up in the areas designated in yesterdays map that was emailed out.  Please remember to clean up your area when you leave.  Last week we had a lot of trash left over in the park and pavilion.  Maybe take a plastic bag or small trash bag with you to keep in your area in case a trash can is not close by. 

PARKING - There is plenty of parking according to Shenandoah however please do not park in the neighborhoods ( again all of this was covered in yesterday's email).

CHECK IN - Check in starts at 7:00 am.  Do not come late or you will be scratched from the meet. Please give yourself plenty of time to find the area and park.   We are not far from home so this should NOT be a problem.  As always check in with Coach Lindsay first, then with your age group parent.  WARM UPS WILL BEGIN AT 7:40 -

VOLUNTEER CHECK IN - Please check in with Angie DeMarco in order to get your credits.  Be sure to stay for your entire shift.  If you are a timer or scribe please check in with Ruth or Jimena.

RELAYS - Look for relay changes posted at the beginning of the meet and mid way through the meet for any changes.  Again relays are up to the coaches and are based on times, technique, attendance at practice, work ethic and attitude.  If you are selected for a relay and must leave for any reason ( please try not to do so) please tell myself or Coach Lindsay as soon as you can.  Its a long day tomorrow however if you look at the heat sheet, EVERY POINT WILL COUNT!!! THEY ARE A BIG TEAM WITH LOTS OF FAST SWIMMERS!

SUNSCREEN/WATER - Apply it, reapply it, and apply some more.  As someone who had Stage 2 Melanoma - I don't joke - I will spray you down!!! Stay hydrated.  Hydrate tonight.  Hydrate when you wake up, during and after the meet. You may be swimming but it's STILL EXERCISE.  Hydrate - or coach will track you down!!!!

CONCESSIONS - This is the best part but remember to bring your cash because it's CASH ONLY.  Shenandoah is going to be fixin us some real nice breakfast tacos along with donuts, breakfast bars, scones and assorted fruits for in the morning.  In the afternoon they will have pizza, pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, pasta salad, and snacks.  Water and soda is also available - remember CASH ONLY!!!!!

TEAM PRIDE - Want a tattoo? Find one of three Monroe girls - they will have Waves tattoos.  There aren't many so only one per person and once the last one is handed out - that's it for the season.  So wear it now - or save it for another meet - Divisionals? Either way - ONE PER SWIMMER!

 

 That's all for now!!! 

Thanks so much for all you do!  Go WAVES!!!
