Hi All,

The Smoky Mountain Meet is in two days and we are looking good!  Several things you need to know:

1.  Do Not park at the church near the pool.  Your car will be towed.

2.  Look for our big green and white striped tent with our team banner.  They usually locate us near the slide in the shallow end.  

3.  Warm-up Saturday (big kid day)  is scheduled from 7:05-7:20 am.  We have two lanes for 15 minutes.  It will be very crowded, but it gives the swimmers a chance to acclimate to the pool.  It is important.   Swimmers need to be in the tent before 6:45 am in order to be on the deck with caps and goggles, ready to go at 7:00.  If we are late for warm-up, we will not be given any extra time.

Warm-up Sunday (little kid day) is scheduled from 7:50-8:05.  We also have two lanes, but are sharing one with another team.  Again, this is about acclimating the swimmers to the pool.  We don't have much time, but it is still important.  Please have your swimmers under out tent at 7:30 so we can be on the pool deck by 7:45 ready to go.  

4.  Check the relay posting in the tent for the final relay designations.

5.  The meet starts at 8:45 each morning.  On Saturday it is projected to end at 8:15 and on Sunday at 4:40.  It will be a long day, both days.  Come prepared to relax, enjoy the meet, and hang out with some great kids and parents.  Bring what you need to be comfortable--chairs, coolers, etc.  for under the tent.   Spectator seating is limited, but there are some bleachers where you can watch your swimmer(s).   

6.  12 places are scored with awards given.  Results will be posted on the wall near the bathrooms as the meet progresses.  Your swimmer will be competing against some of the best summer talent in the area.  

See you this weekend.  Go Crocs!
