Concessions- Concessions will be sold cash only. We will have Dogwood pizza, hot dogs, nachos, drinks, and assorted candy and snacks.
REMINDERS FOR MAPLE RIDGE:
- BULLPEN: This is a new bullpen area for our team, as we have not traveled to this pool before. Make sure you are on time so you can park and find this area to set up. WE HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD EXACTLY WHERE OUR BULLPEN IS, SO PLEASE JUST LOOK OUT FOR US WHEN YOU ARRIVE. Swimmers MUST stay in our team area. This is a very large pool area and we need to have swimmers running around as little as possible. Your swimmer CANNOT sit with you, however if you want to be with your swimmer then you may go to the bullen.
- WE HAVE BEEN TOLD OUR BULLPEN IS NOT SHADED. COME PREPARED WITH SOMETHING UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN.
- Bullpen Volunteers: You must keep all swimmers in the bullpen area unless they are lining up and heading to their event.
- Inclement Weather: In case of bad weather we ask swimmers/parents to head to their cars and wait for a REMIND message with further instruction.
- HEAT ADVISEMENT: It's HOT folks! Please come prepared with plenty of water and anything else you may think you need.
- Don't Forget: Goggles, Swim cap (extra caps and goggles), Towels (for drying and sitting), sunscreen, bug spray, non-electronic entertainment for the bullpen, healthy snacks, chairs for parents, cash for concessions.
(all entry/volunteer/heat sheet attachments were sent in previous email)
NOTE: This is a METER pool, which means it will be a tad longer than a yard pool (young swimmers don't need to know this - it can sometimes mess with their head). All times in the heat sheet are already converted to meter time for you to follow. They will be converted again to yards for our last meet on Monday.
SPECIAL NOTE: Remember, as a visiting team there is not a lot in our control. PLEASE be KIND and PATIENT with our coaches, board members and each other. We are there to help in any way we can and we will do our very best. Let's all be sure to come together as the amazing Manta Rays we know we are, and bring our BEST sportsmanship to this last dual meet.Email [email protected] for any questions.
See You Poolside!
