Granite Falls Meet Info.

Good morning,Torpedo!

Summer, it seems, has returned! The heat and the afternoon storms are back. Please be sure you have access to Remind so you receive the notifications regarding delays, cancellations, etc. I will do my best to avoid having you all arrive only to hear of a canceled practice.

I'll let everyone know by 4:15pm if we are going to have to cancel the meet due to weather. Otherwise, assume things are a go. Should we need to call the meet early, it will count towards the two meets your swimmers need to be eligible for the conference meet. 

Tonight we head to Granite Falls (56 Pinewood Rd, Granite Falls, NC 28630). Please be prepared for rain, although we may not have any at all. The town there does not permit tents on the deck with the exception of a few for coaches and meet workers. There are a couple of pavilion areas with picnic tables on the deck, so please make use of those. Tents are permitted in areas off of the pool deck.

Swimmers' entries will be sent via Remind and posted on the pool deck at the meet. Please make sure not to miss an event, and come talk to your coaches immediately after you finish swimming.

We start warming up at 5:30pm, then we will start the meet right after we conclude. We will need volunteers to time and officiate. I'll send the SignUp Genius link later today with those slots. Please be prepared to help out. There are only six lanes.

Please be sure to sign your swimmers up for the meets as far in advance as you know. I took entries up to yesterday evening, but I really would have liked to  have had them earlier. The binder is on the fitness desk anytime the center is open, so stop in when you can or right after practices. 

I'm looking forward to a fun meet, and I hope you all are, as well!
