Hi Tiger Sharks!

Please remember to declare your swimmers for our first home swim meet Tuesday! The deadline to declare is tomorrow (Saturday) at 11:30pm; if you have not declared them by then, they will not be able to swim in the meet this week. We would like everyone to declare attending or not attending for meets!

This week, we will be swimming against Bella Casa. This is our first in-division meet (the results of the meet will go towards determining the division champion at the end of the season), so let’s get ready to swim our fastest! Here is some important information, so please read everything carefully!

Just a reminder, swimmers need to be able to swim their races unassisted to be able to participate in swim meets.

TEAM BUILDING

This Tuesday for Team Building, we are going to be playing water balloon games at the playground from 9:30-10:15am.

FOOD

Our cash-only concessions stand will have pizza, Chick-fil-a, and hotdogs as well as other snacks and beverages available for purchase during the evening. Please bring small bills to use at our concession stand!

ARRIVAL

Please arrive by 4:30pm to check in. Warm ups will start at 5:00pm, and the meet will begin at 6:00. Please make sure to arrive on time! If for any reason you will be late, please let Coach Ben and I know if you have not done so already!

PARKING

Please save the spots in the pool parking lot for our visiting swim team, Bella Casa. You can park in the picnic shelter lot by the park, or along Preston Village Way on the pool/lake side only, so emergency vehicles have room to pass on the other side.

THEME

Our theme for this meet is Hawaiian, so come decked out in leis, grass skirts, and any other Hawaiian decorations you have!

VOLUNTEERS

If you have not yet signed up to serve as a volunteer, please do so - we need everyone’s help to run this meet!

If you have other family members who are not swimming or volunteering during the meet, they are welcome to sit by the deep end of the pool, and along that side past our red tents.  Please bring your own chairs, as we move most chairs behind the blocks for swimmers as they line up.  We reserve the side by the shallow end, by the baby pool, for our visiting team to set up.

YEAR-ROUND SWIM OPPORTUNITIES with the TAC TITANS

At our meet this week, the Triangle Aquatics Center (TAC) will have two coaches from their Titans year-round swim team available to provide information and answer questions you might have about year-round swimming and lessons available at TAC. Feel free to stop by their table to learn more from the coaches and Preston Village parents who have children involved in the program.

Please let me know if you have questions about anything!

Coach Julia
