Hello Marlins, View city meet entries
I wanted to touch base about a few city meet logistics and scheduling things.
Tent Location:
First of all out tent is in the same location as last year. My understanding is that this is to the far left when you are standing in the parking lot facing the pool and then you go down the hill toward the back steps. There are signs in front of each tent identifying the team if you need help finding us as you arrive.
Arrival:
ALL swimmers need to come to the tent 30 minutes BEFORE warm-ups are scheduled for their session. Each swimmer much check-in with Barbara Norwood or Melissa Harter when they arrive at the tent.

Thursday morning session = 8:00am (lane 8)
Thursday afternoon session = 2:50 pm (lane 8)

City Meet Parade:
ALL swimmers are invited to participate in the parade. We strongly encourage everyone on the team to come to the parade and enjoy this fun event together. Even if you are not swimming on Saturday, I hope that you will come back for the parade. Meet at the team tent at 3:30 to begin dressing up and decorating for the parade. Remember that our theme is "Peace Love and Swimming" and we encourage everyone to embrace this 60's inspired parade mantra. We welcome all creative souls to create signs, banners, decorations, etc to go along with our theme. If you have ideas, bring them to city meet and kids can work on them while sitting under the tent between their events.
