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

Our last Home Meet! - Tuesday July 16th vs. Scotts Mill

Our regular season is almost complete! We have one final home meet to finish out our regular season. As always, PLEASE show up to the meet on time if you have declared your swimmer is attending.

  • Sign up your child or decline by today, Friday July 11th 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.
  • 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).
  • Tuesday is going to be very hot! Please be prepared and instruct your swimmers to stay hydrated and in the shade as much as possible between swims.
  • Bring goggles, refillable water bottle, sunscreen, towels, black swimsuit with Anacondas 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.
  • Supervise your swimmer to ensure they are being safe and respectful throughout the entire meet. The recreational pool and shallow end on the side of the lap pool are CLOSED to swimmers during the 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.
  • 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.
