Good morning Barracudas! 

We are very excited for our very first swim meet against Wellington park this afternoon! Please see the previous emails for arrival time details. A few reminders for the swim meet today; swimmers must have a team swim cap in order to swim, coaches will not be able to provide caps to the entire team so please bring the one you have already been provided.
Swimmers also should have goggles and their team suit in order to race. Being on time is crucial since we have first warmup as it is a home meet. 
Numbers should be on prior to warmups and post warmups swimmers should stay with the team.
Swimmers should not be sitting with their parents as this helps the meet run smoothly and allows kid pushers to do their job more effectively. Swimmers should sit with their teammates and age groups. 
Swimmers and parents are not allowed to stand on the edge of the pool for the entire duration of the swim meet, volunteers and coaches are the only ones allowed next to the side of the pool. All swimmers and parents should be behind coaches and timers. Only timers and swimmers are allowed behind the blocks for the entire meet including warmups. Any of these can result in the entire Bentwinds team being disqualified from the swim meet. 
All of these reminders are crucial to the smoothness of the meet! 

Thank you all so much and we are very excited for our first swim meet! Let’s bring our best out tonight! 

Thanks, 
Coaching staff
