Our meet this Saturday is against the Northampton Cudas!  We are excited for our first dual meet of the season!!

Here is a timeline:

7:00 - 7:20am - Check-in

7:45 - 8:15am - Warmups

8:15 - Team Meeting / Line up for first events

Please continue to read for important information about the event:

1 - Where is the meet & where do we set up?

From the home page, click "Swim Meets" then click on "Northampton."  One of the items you will see is "get driving directions". This will bring up a Yahoo Map with directions to that pool from Forestgate.  You can type in your address to get specific directions.  

Parking is either in the lot by the pool or on Northcrest.  Please just do not block any driveways.

Setup for our team is on the East side of the pool - the side with the playground.

**Please Note** The Woodlands is hosting the Ironman Triathlon on Saturday.  Are there any WAVES parent participating in the Ironman?  Let me know!!!

There may be some traffic delays during your commute, so please check out this link:   ironmantexas.com/course/traffic-impact/   for info on the traffic delays.  Please allow for alternate routes or additional time to get to check-in on time!!  **The biggest impact will be your drive HOME - especially Woodlands Pkwy and Flintridge.  Please plan accordingly :)

Heat sheets will be available for purchase ($3) and there will be concessions.

2 - What time is Check-In? 

 Because this is an AWAY meet, check-in time is 7:00am - 7:20am.  PLEASE PLEASE allow enough time to get your swimmer to the pool for on-time check-in.  It is critical we have all of our swimmers checked in on time so coaches can make any adjustments needed and computer clerks can edit and print the reports needed to run the meet.

 3- What about Relays?

You can check the MEET ENTRY BINDER at practice Friday to see if your child will be swimming in a relay.  Coaches carefully build these relay teams.   If you are part of a relay, WE NEED YOU!!!  We MUST know TODAY if you can't commit to being at the meet and staying for all relay events.   The other three swimmers on that relay are counting on you!!  A no-show during check-in will result in being SCRATCHED from the relay.  

**In addition** - please check the relay board after warm-ups but BEFORE the meet starts.  Sometimes we have scratches and make substitutions.  You will want to see if you have been moved or added to a relay event.

4 - Volunteer!!  

We still need age group parents, timers, scribes, and tent set-up.  Any and ALL help is SOOO appreciated!!  Sign up online.

Good Luck to all of our WAVES this weekend!  Have a SUPER meet!
