Glider Meet 2!
All,
We are getting ready for meet 2 versus Walton park on Monday. See below for details about timing and information from Walton park. A lot of information is in this email, so be sure to read all the way through. A few items from me:
- If you're swimmer is not swimming, please notify the coaches as soon as possible. It is much harder for the coaches to swap swimmers around once the meet entries have been completed.
- I am in need of one 2nd half timer for the meet.
- Everyone think good thoughts about the weather. The meet will not be postponed until after the scheduled start time, so please come to the meet as planned. If for any reason we cannot get the meet in, it will be continued on Tuesday evening.
- Bring items to entertain yourself and swimmer in case of weather delays.

Mites swimmers and parents: Please have your swimmer stay close to the mite tent or pay very close attention to when events are being called. We have a lot of help organizing the mites, but it is still difficult to chase everyone down.
Mite relays: If your mite is in a relay please have them report to the clerk of course as soon as the team warm-up closes for our older swimmers
Senior swimmers: Anyone who is available to help with the mite relays is much appreciated.
