CHAMPS INFO
(Again, if this email doesn't apply to you, feel free to disregard...)
OK Champs Swimmers, we're getting excited about tomorrow! It will be a long but fun day, so we hope you're getting excited too. A few things we wanted to make sure you're aware of:
-11&up warmups begin AT 6:30am. We only have 10 minutes in the pool, so if you're late you will miss it! Plan to be at the Dresden facility no later than 6:15am...
-10&up designated warm-up time is 2:00-2:15pm but will depend on when 11&ups finish. Please be at the facility no later than 1:30pm in case they're finished early... Fingers crossed!
-Each team will have an area to set up in--signs will be posted to tell you where to go. Please make sure you find our team and sit as a group! There will be almost 1,000 kids swimming tomorrow, so we need to stay together and help each other out. It takes a village :)
-Children are not allowed to leave the pool area or go to the bathroom alone. Know where your children are at all times!
-There will be LOTS of concessions available (see note below from Dresden Swim Center), but not too many healthy options. Coach Caroline is asking that parents bring plenty of healthy snacks and LOTS of water--it's going to be a hot one!
Finally, a huge thanks to everyone who volunteered on such short notice to bring food for the hospitality room--we were floored by the quick response. Piranha parents show up for the win!!! If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Otherwise, we'll see you tomorrow!
