Hi all!

This email contains a lot of important information about the City Swim meet so please read it all the way through if you will be attending that meet. Reminder that the city meet will be hosted at Nelson Farm Pool on both days. Friday is for swimmers ages 11 and older, Saturday is for swimmers ages 10 and younger. 

1. Parking Rules: No one is allowed to park on NORWOOD or in the Nelson Farm parking lot. This area will be for designated only for Nelson Farm volunteers, Kona Ice, and our officials. We will have 2 accessible handicap spots in the parking lot. You may park along Centennial Dr, Parklake Dr and Lochwood. The police have been informed of our meets and plan to drive through this area several times each day. Do not block anyone's driveway, park near fire hydrants, or park too close to stop signs/intersections.

2. Volunteers: All volunteers need to sign in at the side table near the Computer Area. They will also need to find their name tag. Please sign in before 7:30AM whether you are volunteering in either shift 1 or 2 on each day. All volunteers will get either verbal instruction on expectations or an instruction sheet. First shift volunteers will go straight to work at 7:30AM. Second shift volunteers will be told when to return and where.

3. Timer Info: Based on the estimated times we are making some minor changes to the timer schedule to better balance the two shifts. On Friday, the 1st shift will work through breaststroke (event #30). On Saturday, the 1st shift will work through butterfly (event #72). We have also decided to have two separate timer meetings instead of one early meeting as the meet packet states.

Day 1, 1st shift timer meeting: 7:40 AM

Day 1, 2nd shift timer meeting: 10:50 AM

Day 2, 1st shift timer meeting: 7:40 AM

Day 2, 2nd shift timer meeting: 10:35 AM

This means there will be a short break between events 30 and 31 and between events 72 and 73.

6. Pre-ordered merchandise and Programs will be available for pick up the morning of Friday. They will be located next to the Concessions table, sorted by team name. There will be a limited number of Programs available for purchase during the meets, but no additional merchandise will be available.

7. Tent set up info: You can set up inside the pool area as long as it's not already taped off. You are also allowed to set up on the front lawn and around the fence. The back gate will be open, and we will have many speakers so everyone can hear updates. DO NOT set up your tents on the bike path, as that needs to stay open to the public, and the tennis courts are off limits.

8. Nelson Farms will provide concessions, including Consuelo's Burritos. We will accept cash or credit cards. 

I have attached entries for the meet that includes relays so please have your child come with these numbers written on them. PLEASE check to see if your child is in a relay as we are unable to replace them with another swimmer!

Warmup on Friday will begin at 6:25 AM (lanes 5, 6). Swimmers will need to arrive at 6:10 AM. Warmup on Saturday will begin at 6:40 AM (lanes 1,2). Swimmers will need to arrive at 6:25 AM.

The meet should go relatively quickly (I have heard estimates of it being done around noon!)!
