Hi Team! 

I am so excited to welcome you all to the pool for another home meet! Fingers crossed for clear skies after this storm passes through. I think it is looking like a nice night for a swim meet. 

A few reminders for you:

1) Team Picture @ 4:30pm, arrive at 4:15pm. Please wear this year's team shirt. If your swimmer does not have one. We will have them out before the team picture, so arrive by 4:00 and we can get you one.

2) Parking is always an issue. Please park at Gutterson and leave the lot for our guests. It is a beautiful scenic walk. I have a detailed map for you attached to this email. 

3) I have included athlete check-ins and heat sheets with this email. Please have those sharpies ready to mark up your swimmer's arm if they need it to keep track of their events list. Also I will publish heat sheets soon, so it will come to your app as well.

4) Please help us get your child to the bullpen on time. We will not wait for them, the show must go on. Use the heat sheets, they are the blueprint for the meet. Medley Relays line up at 5:50pm in the Bullpen. Little kids doing fly can go right from their relay to line up in the bullpen for fly. Big Kids doing fly means little kids in the bullpen for backstroke. Big Kids in Back means little kids in the bullpen for Breastroke. Big Kids doing Breast means little kids in the bullpen for Freestyle. Big Kids doing Freestyle means little kids in freestyle relays get in the bullpen. The timestamp on the heat sheet can give you a rough estimate of time frame. It is not always 100% accurate and hopefully we stay ahead of it the best we can. But it can be helpful.

5) Please see the jobs list. Please report to your shift on time. Timers and Officials meeting at 5:40pm. Bullpen and Lane Sheppard report to Bullpen at 5:50pm to start lining up relays. If you need a briefing before your job I am happy to give it. Just see me. I am all over the place. We are still looking for a second shift timer. Second Shift starts at the 8&Under 25 Breastrokes. The starter will announce the shift change. 

6) We are still looking for some salad, dessert, and ice donations. Also we are looking for some help grilling as well. See the sign up sheet and sign-up!

7) Scratches due to illness, text me, 612-222-4526!

8) Have fun and see you at the pool soon! Go BTC!
