Meet info for Hatboro vs. Penbryn 6/27

Our first meet is a HOME meet. Please arrive at the pool by 5:45 for warm-ups. We are asking for donations for the snack stand. Baked goods, bags of chips, cereal bars, fruit etc. are all helpful – please drop off at the snack stand when you arrive. Also, make sure you have RSVP’d (yes or no) for your swimmer’s attendance on the website before Tuesday night.

I will have the car wash tickets to hand out to each family at the meet tomorrow night.

Items to bring to meet: suit, swim cap, 2 pairs of goggles, 2 towels for warm-up and meet, sunscreen, bugspray, sweatshirt/pants (it can get chilly when wet after the sun goes down), water bottles to stay hydrated, chairs, entertainment (cards, book, games, etc. for in between events), Sharpie (to write your child's name, event #, heat #, position on his/her arm)

During the meet, please make sure your child is staying in the area where the families are sitting by the fence closest to the playground. This is important so that the stagers can find your child to get them ready for their events. Please do not let them go to the playground during the meet. Also, please make sure to clean up your area and dispose of all trash at the end of the meet.

For new families – There will be many parents there to answer questions and to help you. Please do not hesitate to ask questions as we all know a swim meet can be confusing until you know the process.

Lastly, the coaches want to inspire good sportsmanship! They encourage the swimmers to shake hands at the end of a race, participate in the team cheers, and cheer each on during the meet. Swimmers can hear in the water. The louder the crowd, the more exciting their swim! Swimmers are there to try their best to improve their own times and not focus on swimmers that come in ahead of them. As swimmers improve throughout the season, they will be receiving personal best ribbons for each stroke that they improve their times.

We are looking forward to a fun and exciting first meet!

GO STORM!!
