First Meet

    June 9th
    The day for which your children have been working has finally arrived - the first meet. Here are some helpful details:
    12:30 pm Team Photo - please meet behind the tennis office.
    10 Year Photos will take place by the diving boards afterwards.
    1:00 pm Warm Ups
    2:00 pm Start
    Inclement Weather Policy: We have to wait 20 minutes after the last thunder clap and 30 minutes after the last lightning to return to the water. We ask that if bad weather hits that you wait in your car. We cannot "call" a meet for 1 hour, even if it obvious that the weather is not going to let up (JRAC policy).
     
     
    If you are volunteering, please check-in at the volunteer table before you go into the pool as it makes the meet move quicker, especially as we transition from the 1st to the 2nd half.
     
     
    The new Avalon caps will be for sale at the volunteer check-in for $10.
     
     
    A full range of concessions will be available throughout the meet: regular and vegetarian burgers, cheeseburgers and hotdogs, pasta and sodas, water & gatorade.
     
     
    I look forward to watching your children swim and seeing Avalon's Gators at their best.

    Notes from the Coaches! 

    You have all worked hard over the last 2 weeks and a lot of improvements have been seen.  The meet on Sunday is when you will get to show it all off.
    We have a couple of recommendations/requests that will help you have a successful meet:
     
    1) Get a good night's sleep
    2) Don't spend all day at the pool on Saturday because you don't want to start off Sunday dehydrated and tired
    3) Make sure to keep drinking both water and gatorade on Saturday and Sunday
    4) It is better to stay in one spot while you wait for your event, rather than using your energy running around in the heat (bring cards or games to play with friends)
    5) Remember your sunscreen! 
    6) Girls especially...CAPS please
    7) When you get your card, go on the first call and take EVERYTHING with you so you do not have to leave the Clerk of Course before you swim.
    8) Have fun!
     
    If you are unable to make the meet, please call Rachel at 513-9730.
    See you on Sunday!
