Saturday Meet
January 30th
Dear Parent,
Please look at the instructions for the meet for this Saturday listed below.
We look forward to hosting you this Saturday, 2/4 at our Lowe's Facility.
LOCATION: 170 Joe Knox Ave, Mooresville, NC 28117
The meet will be broken into 2 sessions:
a) 10 under (Session 1): Arrive by 1:00 pm, Warm ups at 1:15 and meet starts at 1:45 pm
b) 11 up (Session 2): Arrive by 3:30 pm** warm up and then start meet. Wait outside of the pool area until 1st session clears. I will let you know what timeline looks like once meet is merged.
Pool: We have a 4 lane pool and blocks on one side. Our pool is 5 ft. on block side- please make sure your swimmers know the depth before diving in during warm ups.
3) Ft. Mill swimmers will be in the nook area on the block side of the pool.
4) Coaches/Clerk of Cours are responsible for getting swimmers behind the block. We will not have a formal clerk of course.
5) Swimmers may not enter the recreation pool at any time during the meet.
6) We will need 4 timers from your team for each session. Please bring watches.
7) We will have a small concession stand with sports drinks and snacks. Volunteers will be provided water.
8) We have extremely limited deck space at our facility. I know your parents are traveling quite a distance for this event so we will do our best to accommodate spectators. We encourage only one parent per child to attend, but if both parents want to attend, we suggest they sign up for a volunteer position. If the deck space becomes overcrowded, we will ask spectators to wait outside until their child's event, and then return to wait outside the natatorium. Weather as of now looks to be free of rain, but cooler. Dress in layers!
9) We do not have bleachers or seating area. Parents are welcome to bring chairs. Guest team parents will sit on the starter side (window) of the pool area (one parent per swimmer) and our team will be in the area between the two pools.
10) As mentioned before, our pool only has 4 lanes.... we try not to run any open lanes. Please let me know of any scratches as soon as possible once entries are submitted.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you,
Bridgett Respess
Head Coach, Penguins
