Hammerhead Families,

We are looking forward to our upcoming intersquad meet tomorrow, Monday May 23! Our goal is that we end the night feeling that we collectively pulled off a fun practice meet that helped us prepare our swimmers, volunteers, families, and coaches for our upcoming competition season.

Reminder: The FAMILY POOL IS CLOSED AND OFF-LIMITS TO EVERYONE (INCLUDING ALL SWIM CLUB MEMBERS) on meet days.

• ENTRY & EXIT for a swim meet will be through the FRONT of the swim club entrance. Do not prop open any gates at any time during the swim meet or swim meet preparation as this creates a safety issue.
• Swimmers should arrive between 4:50-5:00pm and check-in at their age-group wrangler tent. IMPORTANT: Swimmers are to remain at their age-group tent throughout the swim meet. Parents are welcome and encouraged to sit around the age group tents to help ensure their swimmers do not miss an event.
• Volunteers:

When your swimmer's event is taking place, please feel welcome to stand at the lap pool behind the roped off area to cheer and watch, and then we kindly ask you move away from the lap pool so others may watch their swimmers. Please do not move swim club chairs and tables from their locations.

Parents & spectators should dress in comfortable dress. Volunteers should wear tennis shoes / comfortable shoes. Given the heat please bring hats, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen!

MEET ENTRIES: We guarantee each swimmer is entered in the individual freestyle event and a relay given our league rules and team size. DO NOT attempt to have your swimmer’s meet entries changed the day of the meet. Know that our coaches put in a lot of time and effort to complete meet entries, and they are more familiar with a swimmer’s skillset when they have attended more practices. Note, results/times from our intersquad meet do not count towards Meet of Champs qualifications.

We're looking forward to having a fun night. Go Hammerheads!
