Hello Anacondas Families!

We had a great time at the Mock Meet on Tuesday. Big thank you to all the volunteers, especially our timers, who put in extra hours to make sure the meet was a success! Thank you all for your patience and flexibility during the weather delay. The swimmers had fun and got important experience before our first real meet.

Here are the important updates you need for the coming week:

First regular season Meet - Tuesday June 11th @ Home vs. Wellsley

• Sign up your child or decline by today, Friday June 7th at 11:30pm.
• Swimmers arrive by 4:45p to set up at their age group’s tent, warm up in the pool, & meet their kid-pusher volunteer.
• Bring goggles, refillable water bottle, sunscreen, towels, black swimsuit with Anaconda logo, food or money for concessions, a towel or small chair to sit
• Write swimmer name on their upper right back with Sharpie marker. We will have markers at Volunteer Check-in also.
• Shift #1 volunteers check in at the Volunteer Table by 5:30 (Set-up volunteers at 4:00 & Concessions at 5:00). Shift #2 volunteers check in during backstroke since your shift begins at Breaststroke (around 7:30 or 8:00).
• Supervise your swimmer to ensure they are being safe and respectful throughout the entire meet.
• Swimmers should stay near their age group tent area as much as possible. Have your child communicate with their kid pusher if they need to leave their tent area so your swimmer doesn’t miss their time to swim. Reminder that volunteers have limited ability to find swimmers who are not staying in their designated areas.
• Swimmers should not be in the recreational pool, or the small pool next to lap lanes, during the swim meet
• Concessions - there will be pizza, Chick-fil-A sandwiches and nuggets, chips, and drinks for sale. We can accept cash (exact change preferred), Venmo, and Apple Cash. Stick Happens popsicles and Nautical Bowls acai bowls will be on site as well.
• Ensure your child cleans their space and gathers their belongings before leaving.
• Review meet details on our website.
