Hello Maple Ridge Families,

Meet #3, halfway there!

When - Thursday, June 13th, against Daniel Park Twisters.

Location - Our pool at 1438 Dunsford Circle.

Volunteer Schedule - See attached. Please check-in with your swimmer so you can verify your assignment and get your name badge.

*NOTE: You may notice if you are a typical 1st half volunteer, that some of you are on 2nd half. This is due to quite a number of our 2nd half volunteers being out this meet. We have done our best to only pull parents to 2nd half that have swimmers in late events.

SET-UP volunteers must arrive no later than 4pm to begin set up.

CHECK-IN Volunteers need to arrive and be ready by 4:15pm.

Swimmer Events - Attached are the events for your swimmer. Please remember to have your swimmer check-in and get their arm marked before proceeding to the bullpen.

Warmups - Our swimmers should arrive by 4:30 so they are checked in, settled in the bullpen area and ready for warmups promptly at 5:00. The visiting team will be getting in the water for their warm ups at 5:30.

Concessions - Families with the last names beginning with I-Q, please remember to bring your concession donation! We will have Walking Tacos, hamburgers, hotdogs, Pasta (from The Local Pantry!); as well as popcorn, chips, drinks and an assortment of candy/goodies. The Kona Ice truck will be back! Heat sheets will be sold at concessions for $1.00 each. CASH ONLY.

This week's meet theme is PINK OUT! In honor of of Maple Ridges passed Coach, Margaret Gilbert; as well as all of those fighting the cancer fight, we are asking our teams to wear their best and brightest PINKS! Swimmers are welcome to wear pink suits; we will also have pink caps for swimmers at check in! If you have a pink cap from a previous season, please bring it! 

Parking - Our parking lot is very small and all spaces are reserved. Team members must park on the neighborhood streets. Parking is allowed on one side of street only. This will be marked with signs. Emergency vehicles need to be able to pass and access fire hydrants so please do not park on both sides of the street, or blocking a hydrant. You are able to drop off your swimmer and gear in the parking area, but then will need to head back up to park on the street. Our parking attendant will help direct you. To avoid any confusion this week, I will be sending out a parking email to those on the list so you are aware  ;)

Seating - Our parent seating area is on the right side of the pool as you walk in the front gate. Please bring your folding chairs from home as we will be using most all of the pool chairs for our meet. Check the handbook for your Meet Checklist!

Fun Friday - Everyone come join us (our Minis included) at the Maple Ridge pool on Friday from 9:30 am to 11 am for some fun and LOTS of donuts! We will also be recognizing our "Manta Rays in Motion". Chosen by our Coaches, these are swimmers who have exhibited great sportsmanship, dedication, positive attitudes, stroke improvement and in general have gone above and beyond the call of duty. They will each receive a small award.

Happy Swimming!
