Hey team!
Tomorrow is our first meet of the season! Make sure your swimmers are ready to warm up by 5:30pm.
The meet is in Forest City at the Callison Recreation Center. The address is 217 Clay Street, Forest City, NC 28043.
A couple things:
1. Tents will not be set up on the pool deck. This is to prevent the overflow of people and hopefully it will make it easier for you to see and watch your swimmers. In the case of tomorrow, the tents can be set up outside of the fenced area. You are more than welcome to come in and watch your swimmers and then return to your tents. One-half of the picnic shelter will be reserved for swimmers to stay on deck. If there are any elderly or handicapped spectators, they are welcome to sit underneath the picnic shelter as well.
2. The clerk of course tomorrow will be located underneath one side of the picnic shelter. Your swimmer will need to check in here for their events and will be seated in the proper order. When it is time, they will all walk to the blocks together as a heat.
3. Please make sure your swimmers are paying attention to the events being announced by the clerk of course. This is vital so that your race isn't missed!!
4. Volunteers are always needed! The meet wouldn't be possible without volunteers, so please don't hesitate to help out! You can sign up via the SignUpGenius link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084CABAE2AAAF58-vtst7. If you have any questions about the various positions, here is a link to a previous blog post explaining things: http://vtst.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-most-important-person-at-our-meets.html. There's always something everyone can do to help out!
This Saturday, June 18, will be our first meet in Valdese!
Tents will be set up on the tennis courts or in Rotary Park. The gate to access Rotary from the pool deck will be open. Setup will begin at 7am.
Please be ready to warmup at 8am.
The clerk of course will be at the entry from the tennis courts to the pool deck. This is where your swimmers will check in for their events.
We will also need volunteers for Saturday, and that SignUpGenius will come out this week.
Thank you for all you do! See you soon!
