Parents of Silver Meet Swimmers,

Please read thoroughly. This meet will have 10 other teams so there will be lots of people. The meet will be held at Bay Hills, which is a meters pool. It is slightly longer than the yards pools we have been practicing and competing in. This is especially important for those swimming backstroke because their stroke count will be different so please remind your swimmers to get their stroke count during warm ups. The pool address is 580 Bay Hills Drive, Arnold, MD 21012.

Attached you will find the map of the seating area. I will send out the psych sheet and heat sheet as soon as I receive them.

Warm-Ups:

Arrive at the pool no later than 7am. Warm ups are only 10 minutes long, and when we have limited time the goal is to get your stroke count in the competition pool and get some starts in. We will be jumping in the water for warm ups at 7:25am so please do not miss it.

Volunteer Check-In:

Please have a representative from your team and all volunteers check-in at the computer/ribbon table by 7:45am. Timers and officials will meet at 7:30am.

Relays:

Relays require positive check in between 7:00am-7:55am. If your child is on a relay then they must see Coach Nastya following warm-ups so they can check in as a squad at the computer/ribbon table.

Concessions:

There will be a full line up of breakfast and lunch foods.

Parking & Seating:

Parking is permitted on both sides of the road where the curb is NOT YELLOW. Do not park in the golf club lots across the street or block resident’s driveways. Carpooling is highly recommended. Some pool chairs will be available but not enough for everyone, so bringing a chair is recommended. Look on the pool map for your team’s assigned seating area. The deep end and shallow ends will be used for the starting and finishing areas. Spectators are not allowed in those areas. Please do not stand at the shallow end of the pool and block the walkway. Spectators may stand behind the ropes on the sides of the pool and space is tight, so be respectful of parents trying to get in to see their kids swim

Let me know if you have any questions! See y’all tomorrow morning :-)
