Happy Meet Day!

Happy Meet Day, Torpedo!

It's finally here, and it's a big one! We will be facing off tonight against the McDowell Mariners and the Granite Falls Sharks. There will be a lot of good, healthy competition and I want to reiterate sportsmanship on the deck tonight.

We have had a lot of people sign up for roles in the meet tonight, but we need more!  Please, if you haven't had a chance, go to this SignUp Genius link and select a time for you or a family member to assist.With the exception of the stroke and turn operation, all of the jobs are something you can learn very quickly. Check out my earlier blog post on how to run the console if you are interested in that.

We will be taking pictures at 3:30pm. If you didn't get a picture form at the beginning of the season and need one, there will be some on deck for you to use. About 4pm we will start lining up to do our team photo. Please wear a team shirt or a blue shirt if you have one. I apologize for not having our team shirts yet. They should be in for next week's meet in Black Mountain.

It is going to be hot, so please be sure to bring snacks, drinks, and shade for this afternoon. We will start allowing for tent setup at 4pm. Please try to be as compact as possible on the deck, as we will have a good number of people here tonight.

I will be sending out events for swimmers through Remind later today, and they will also be available via the Meet Mobile app.

Let's get excited! It's Meet Day!
