It is Swim Meet Day! A final few notes before we all head to the pool.

1. Reminder about times. Swimmers who are totally ready for the meet can arrive at 4:15. If you need to be marked, plan to be there closer to 4pm. Warm up is at 4:30.
2. Pack your umbrella and/or rain coat. As a reminder, we can still swim if the rain is light. Plan to be outside with some rain. The kids don’t care, they’re wet anyway, but us parents like to have a way to stay at least slightly dry. Timers and recorders tend to do better with rain coats since it is crowded behind the blocks, other jobs can usually go either way with umbrella or rain coat.
3. We are moving concessions inside for tonight. Please help us ensure everyone is watching their step as wet feet on that tile floor can be slippery, but it feels the safest option for power and such.
4. We are asking a favor this year. If you would please write your swimmers' first name and last initial and their age on their right shoulder blade. Not huge. Sharpies hold up the best. we have done this for big meets like Ga Tech in the past and want to try it for our normal meet. This will help our bullpen parents, coaches, and timers keep the meet running efficiently. They’ll be able to check at a glance that the right kids are in place and help it run smoothly.
5. Heat sheet and Athlete report are up in the SwimTopia event. If you go to swim meets and scroll to tonight, you should see download links for those.
6. The SwimTopia app is also a great tool for the meets. Highly encourage downloading and logging in. They have a pro version that you can opt to do but the free version will at least give you event information and any alerts we need to send. 

See everyone tonight! Wear your Red/Waves Gear! Let's Go Woodfield Waves!!
