MEET: Wed. June 20; ACAC Outdoor Pool

We are swimming against ACAC this week.  Please plan to arrive at ACAC by 4:30.  Bring  swim cap, googles and towel and a SHARPIE so that you can write your events on your swimmer’s hand. 

Directions and map

Parking is allowed in the Four Seasons lot across the street, but ONLY in the spaces that face Four Seasons Drive. Parking is NOT allowed in the grass on this side of the street and cars will be subject to towing. Parking is allowed on the pool side of the street from the dam to the pool entrance.

The ACAC pool is 50 meters long.  Please make sure your swimmers understand that event P1 (5-6y.o. 100 FR), events 3-10 (all ages IM) and events 11-12 (8 & Under MR) are NOT swum in the long course pools. Additionally, all 25m events are swum to a rope in the middle of the pool. The ACAC meet director tells us that older swimmers will be stationed in the pool at the rope to help the swimmers stop and assist them to the side of the pool.  Additionally, timers will have to stand at the side at the level of the rope to time. 

Please be respectful of the spectator space when erecting tents.  If you wish to erect a tent for shade cover, please do so at the BACK of the spectator area.  The tents obstructed views and made it difficult for parents to find lane-side space to see their swimmers last week. 

We still need some second half workers, so please go to the signup genius site to choose a job.

In non-meet news, it’s already time to be thinking about Heat Sheet ads for Champs.  At the Champs meet, the heat sheets are sold as a book.  Ads are available in sizes ranging from business card to full page – prices are here.   Buy an ad to celebrate your swimmer or advertise your business. The City Swimteam receives a cut of the proceeds based our our percentage of ads sold. Llezelle Dugger will be at practices and the meet with order forms.  If you have questions or miss her, you can contact her by phone (434-806-9238) or email.

Also, the t-shirt order form was mistakenly marked ‘private’  (by me!) but has been opened – sorry for the frustration that caused.

A final reminder:  by 11 am each Friday, please let coaches know if your swimmer will NOT be able to make the following week's meet.  If  you are attending, do nothing!  Just let the coaches know if you are NOT attending here.

GO SWORDFISH!!!!
