Good afternoon, Torpedo Family!
This summer has flown by! We are down to our last two weeks of the season, culminating in our Olympics-themed Championship Meet on Saturday, August 3, in Shelby at the Shelby Aquatic Center at Shelby City Park (850 W. Sumter St. Shelby, NC 28150). All participants should have signed up by now, and we will have entries ready by Thursday. We will share these with the swimmers on Monday.
It is really important that we have everyone who entered participate, as we have a fairly small squad going this year. If for some reason you need to scratch, please let us know ASAP so we can adjust any relays that may be impacted.
Please plan on it being a full day of swimming. The meet will have 10 lanes going in an effort to keep things moving, and we will need a good number of volunteers to time throughout the day. I will send a master SignUp Genius list when I receive it from Shelby. Please plan on at least one family member assisting with the meet.
For seating, we will able to set up tents as early as 6:30am against the pool fence. Per Shelby, tents may be side by side and up to three deep from the fence.
We will start warmups at 7:20am, which means on deck behind the block ready to jump in the water at 7:20am, not arriving then. We will have the National Anthem at 8:25am and start the meet at 8:30am.
As it seems thunderstorms have rediscovered our area, please be prepared to make your way to your vehicle in case something pops up during the meet.
I'll post any additional information that I receive, but please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
