Meet Information for Monday, June 21st
Hello Dolphins,
Happy Father’s Day to all of our Papa Dolphins! Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday and enjoying time with your family.
It’s time for our LAST DUAL meet on Monday and most of the below meet information is the same as it was last Monday. Any changes are notated in RED.
SET UP TOMORROW (MONDAY) MORNING
We will set up at the pool early Monday morning to prepare for the afternoon meet. Anyone who is available to help, please come to the pool at 8 a.m. We plan to finish by 9:30 a.m. We need help setting up the pool deck, tents, signs, tables, chairs, etc. and could use some extra hands!
POOL AND PARKING INFORMATION:
The Briarhills Dolphins are hosting the South Briar Barracudas at the Briarhills Pool.
If at all possible, we request our Dolphins to please come to the pool on foot or by bike. This will help the parking situation and ease vehicle traffic in the area
WHEN TO ARRIVE & SWIMMER CHECK-IN INFORMATION:
ALL swimmers should arrive and be at their tents by 12:45 p.m. Please ARRIVE ON TIME. We will take attendance promptly at 1:00 p.m. Anyone who has not arrived on time risks being scratched from their events. The meet will start at 2:00 p.m.
In case of an unplanned absence or delay, please send me a TEXT: 832-275-5888
HEAT SHEET AND TIMELINE:
Please see the heat sheet and meet timeline below. If you see any errors with the events your swimmer is entered to swim, please let me know right away so we can make corrections before the meet.
WHAT TO BRING:
* Wear your team suit and team t-shirt!
* goggles, swim cap and towels
* Please pack plenty of water for your swimmer. Many swimmers do not bring enough water to last the entire meet. It will be hot, hot, hot and the swimmers need to stay hydrated!
* cash for concessions. Hot dogs, pizza, Chick fil A, snacks and candy will be available for purchase.
* sun screen
* folding chairs for you and your swimmer
SWIMMER CHECK-OUT INFORMATION:
IMPORTANT, please make sure your swimmer stays with their group. If they want to go with you to the restroom, concessions, etc., you must check them out with the tent parents so they know where their swimmers are at all times. If a swimmer misses a race, they will not get a chance to make it up.
Swimmers are not allowed to run around on the hill or play on the playground during the meet. Please talk to your swimmer and make sure they know to stay seated in their tent during the meet.
When your swimmer is finished with all of their events, please check-out with your tent parent before you leave.
RIBBONS:
Ribbons may be given when you check out your swimmer if they are ready. If they are not ready, ribbons will be given to your swimmer at their next practice on Tuesday.
Remember, ribbons are only awarded for swimmers that place 1st – 6th place in their event OVERALL and not by heat. So if, for example, your swimmer finishes 1st in their heat but then overall your swimmer places 10th, they are not eligible to receive a ribbon. *This is a change from how ribbons were awarded in past years.
PARENT VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENTS:
Once you have dropped off your swimmer at their age group tent, please check-in with Kara Bemis at the Volunteer table so she can direct you where to go.
All 1st half volunteers should be checked-in by 1:15 p.m. and second half volunteers should check in by 4:00 p.m.
