Hello Piranhas!

***SWIM MEET # 3 IMPORTANT INFO***

**PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE!!!

We are looking forward to our second swim meet! Have swimmers arrive between 6:30 - 6:45am to get stroke assignments from the coaches. Swimmers who do not check in by 6:50 will be SCRATCHED.

The meet will begin promptly at 8am on Saturday June 27th at the Bluefin Pool- located at 23804 Grandview Drive on the corner of Grandview Drive and Fairview Drive.so to facilitate a fast and fun meet please:

1. Be sure the kids are in their blue Piranha team suits and have their goggles and team swim caps. Bring sunscreen.

2. Arrive at the Cunningham Pool Before 6:45 A.M. Find the Piranhas coaches at tables in front of the main gate. They will check you in and tell you what events you are swimming in. If you have NOT checked in with the coaches by this time, they will be forced to cancel swimmers from their events. Please be on time.

3. Unlike the first two meets, we will warm up right away at 7:15 am for ages 7 and up. Have your swimmer ready!

5-6 Parents: There is no warmup for this age group, so parents can check their child in BEFORE 6:45AM and bring them to the pool at 7:15am.

If there is a sudden illness please call or text Coach Madi or Brooke ASAP --no matter what time it is– at 661-592-0006 (Madi) OR 661-373-6269 (Brooke) It is important to know as early as possible so Head Coaches can make the necessary meet event changes.

4. Like the Piranha pool, the Bluefin pool is 25 yards long, but there are 6 lanes instead of 3. We will fly through events! Pay attention to the seating numbers so you don't miss anything. There is also an additional relay for ages 7 and up at the end of themeet that we do not do at the Piranha pool so check your numbers.

5. Parking is limited, so walk if possible. Most of the spots in the parking lot are reserved. DO NOT park in any neighbors’ driveways or block any driveways. Please, be quiet as you arrive and be courteous to our neighbors. Do not arrive before 6:30-you will not be allowed into the pool area.

6. Parents DO NOT go in caution taped areas. These areas are for the swimmers, coaches and junior coaches ONLY. If you are looking for your child, please tap a junior coach and they will be happy to assist you.

7. Bring beach chairs, EZ Ups and/or umbrellas for your family and guests. There will likely not be space for blankets. Our Piranha family camp set up will be on the LOWER DECK of the Bluefin Pool on the far side of the pool under the Piranhas EZups. You will need to bring chairs ONLY. Under NO circumstances should any Piranhas be setting up anywhere on the upper deck (at the top of the stairs). Do NOT use the Bluefin pool lounge chairs. Leave walkways open for families to get to their spots.

8. A viewing section is set up near the shallow end so you can get a perfect view of your swimmer.

9. Kids are not allowed in the clubhouse during the meet. No water/wet kiddos in the clubhouse.

10. There is no spa or swimming in the pool for siblings at any time during the meet.

13. Jr Coaches: There will be a meeting at 7:15am under the team canopies/swimmer staging area. Head Coaches will have your assignments for the day. Coaches will divide you into two shifts 8-10am and 10 am - noon. We will also need some help cleaning up after the meet, so be sure to stick around if you can!

**** VERY IMPORTANT. We have multiple kids on our team who are very allergic to nuts. We ask that if you bring your own snacks, you keep any nut products in your own area. Please do not give any nut products to any coaches or junior coaches because of the possibility of cross contamination. Thank you.

Parents- please watch your children, monitor them, and make sure they are following swim rules and etiquette when they are not swimming in the lanes. Our coaches and junior coaches will NOT be monitoring them if they are not up to swim and/or in the lanes. Also, NO alcohol of any kind is allowed at the swim meet.

Volunteers- Please check the volunteer position to confirm your time slots. If you signed up to volunteer, please go to your assigned spot at least 5 minutes early. The meet will run quickly if you are in your spot!

Get ready for our third meet! We will see you all bright and early at the pool!

Thank you,

Coach Madi & Coach Brooke
