Eels, 

We are excited to host our first home meet of the season. It's nice to be at our own pool. Please read through completely for pertinent information!

1. Our team will sit on the pergola deck and swimmers will sit in the section labeled with their age group sign. This makes them easier to find for our bullpen workers. Parents can set up on deck closer to the pool, but on that same side. Please leave a walkway between the raised deck and the last row of chairs for all the swimmers to get to the bullpen. We ask that swimmers not leave the pool area except to the concession stand and back. Please do not go on the playground.

2. Our parking lot is small, so cars should park alongside the neighborhood roads. There may be a little walk, so bring a wagon if needed. Please also follow the signs directing you where to park (only one side of the road is allowed). We don't want to risk blocking emergency vehicles to our neighborhood houses. No parking is allowed at the entrance of the neighborhood. 

3. In the event of inclement weather, please clear the deck immediately and wait in your cars. You will receive a Remind text keeping you updated on the plan. Do not go in the clubhouse or stay out in the grass.

4. Concessions will be available and is located outside the pool deck on the grass to the right of the clubhouse. We will have some great choices for dinner, so please come hungry! We accept Cash and Venmo. Some options will include burgers, hot dogs, chips, candy, drinks, and more.

5. The deck will open at 4:30(ish) for chair placement.  Please have your athlete check-in at the table inside the gate upon arrival.  They will be checked off and receive a glow item and find out their warm-up time and lane.

6. Our theme for the meet is NEON/GLOW! Heat winners will receive Neon beads, and glow items will be handed out to all swimmers. Break out all the NEON you can find and wear it!  If you have the Neon green cap from last year, please feel free to use it at this meet.

7. The Heat Sheet is attached. They will only be printed for our coaches and officials, so please print your own if you would like a hard copy. The heat sheet, entries, and results are also available on the Swimtopia app. The entries will be posted at the pool in the order of last name on Thursday morning just inside the gate. Results will be posted in hard copy on Thursday night as the meet progresses.

8. Our bullpen is located on the home side of the pool. You will see the big green sign that says Bullpen and the event number that is needed in the bullpen. Bullpen and staging volunteers report to this location. Stroke and turn, as well as timers, will meet at the starter table-on the visitor side of the pool. Listen for those announcements!  All volunteers are to report to your job station at least 15min prior to the meet start (or whatever time was instructed with your position) and Sprite will check you off as she comes around.

9. If you have not yet received your t-shirt or cap, please come to the check-in table upon arrival.

10. Lastly, we will have a cooler for refillable water bottles on deck that will be used for volunteers.  Please bring a water bottle for refilling to stay hydrated on a warm evening!

We're looking forward to a fun, fast meet!  Please let us know if you have any questions.  See you soon!
