Events and Heat Sheets

Two files are attached to this email. The first is the list of events that each Stingray will be swimming. You will see an event number, heat number, and lane number. We will be combining some heats tomorrow to keep things moving, so your swimmers’ heats and lanes may change, but don’t worry! The Clerk of Course will make sure your swimmers know where to go. It is your job as parents to listen for when your swimmer’s events are called to report and help your swimmers get to the Clerk of Course staging area.

The second attachment is the heat sheet. The heat sheet lists the order of events and swimmers in order. You should also be able to access the heat sheet on the Swimtopia mobile app.

Cafe Soleil & Concessions

Stingrays sponsor Cafe Soleil will be at the meet tomorrow to satisfy your coffee cravings and breakfast needs! Cafe Soleil will be selling coffee, bagels, pastries, fruit, and yogurt parfaits. The Swan Lake concession stand will also be open with the usual items.

Volunteers Please Read

Thank you for volunteering! We need a few more volunteers for second-half timing. The second half will be very short because we will not have relays, so we may need some first-half timers to continue for the second half (butterfly and breaststroke events). In addition, please note that we are not providing bottled water for volunteers tomorrow, so please bring your own water bottle and plan to use the refill station.

ISO National Anthem Musician

If your swimmer (or you!) would like to share your talents by performing the National Anthem tomorrow, please let me know by replying to this message.

We are looking forward to a fun swim meet!
