Happy Friday, Croc Families!

Tomorrow is the big day!  Time Trials is the official kick off of our 2018 swim season! Here is all the information you need to know.

NO PEP RALLY TONIGHT- Since we had the kickoff party last week (due to photographer availability) we will not be having a pep rally tonight.  This will allow us to all get to bed early so we can be up early tomorrow morning, well rested and ready to swim fast!

MORNING SETUP/PARKING- The gates are usually unlocked about 6 am if you'd like to come set up your tent early.  There will be plenty of room tomorrow since we don't have a visiting team to share space with.  The parking lot will only be open for drop offs so please keep that in mind.  Parking in Sampson lot is easiest.  Please observe all NO PARKING signs on Coles Crossing Drive.  We need to be courteous to our non-Croc neighbors.

MANDATORY CIRCLE IN BY 7:30 AM- All swimmers MUST circle in by 7:30 tomorrow morning at the lap pool.  The circle in boards will be hanging on the fence by the front gate.  Swimmers need to find their name and circle it so we know they are there.  If a swimmer's name is not circled, the clerk of course assumes they are not there and they will be scratched from the meet.  We will also have number writers located near the circle in boards to write your swimmer's event numbers on their arm.  Look for someone with a sharpie to help you!

WARM-UPS will begin immediately following circle in and they are also mandatory for all swimmers.  We will practice team cheers once warmups are done and then we will start the meet.  

WEATHER- We know that the weather forecast includes a chance for thunderstorms tomorrow but we are keeping our fingers crossed.  We will stop/pause the meet for lightning but not for rain.  It is imperative that we get all of the kids timed tomorrow if at all possible.  We will do everything we can to get the events completed even if we have to take a few breaks along the way... hopefully that will not be the case... but prepare to be flexible if necessary!

VOLUNTEER CHECK-IN- There will be sign in sheets in concessions (if you are working there) as well as at the information table.  You MUST sign in to get credit for your shift.  Please see Ashley Yoakem if you have any questions.  She will be running around so ask someone if you don't know who she is.

CONCESSIONS- Don't forget to bring cash for some yummy concession treats.  We'll have breakfast food, burgers, pizza, PDQ and smoothies too!

CAPS, TOWELS & SHIRTS- Our caps are ready and towels are coming today so I will have those as well as remaining team shirts (in most sizes) to hand out tomorrow morning.  

TEAM SUITS- I will be going to D&J later this morning and will pick up any team suits that are already paid for and bring them back to the neighborhood.  You can get them from me later this afternoon or I will have them at the pool in the morning as well.

I think that's it for now.  Let me know if you have any questions.  See you at the pool!
