SMOKY MOUNTAIN MEET MORNING INFO
PARENTS,
The meet starts at 8:45 Saturday and Sunday mornings. Big kids swim Saturday. Little kids swim Sunday.
Our assigned warm-up time for Saturday morning is 7:20-7:35. We will have 15 minutes with 34 swimmers in one and one-half lanes. It will be crowded. We will be organized in order to maximize use of what we have. Swimmers need to be in the tent at 7:00 AM so that we can be on the deck and ready at 7:15.
Our assigned warm-up time for Sunday morning is one lane at 7:05-7:20. It is going to be a long day, and our ten & unders will benefit more from extra sleep than 15 minutes in a over-crowded lane. For that reason, we are forgoing warm-up on Sunday for the little kids. (If we have an IM swimmer who feels strongly that he needs to warm-up at 7:05, let me know and I will be there.) IM is the first event. Those swimming in IM need to be under our tent no later than 8:00 AM. They are: Molly Crawford, Samantha Sasinouski, Mary Beth Sheringham, Max Whitehouse and Crawford Hovis. They will start lining up the IM swimmers at 8:15. All others need to be under our tent no later than 8:45 AM.
Rest and hydrate. Gander Mountain currently has some EnduraCool Instant Cooling towels that help manage the heat.
You may park at the pool or at the elementary school. If you park at the church, you risk being towed.
See you this weekend,
Mollie
