Hello Water Jets Families - We are excited to welcome the Thornhill Tornados to Hunter Oaks tonight! 

HEAT SHEETS: Attached are the heat sheets and psych sheets and events listed by athlete. Psych sheets do not need to be printed. Some swimmers like to review them before the meets. Please print and bring your own copy of the heat sheets if you need/want one. If you have a volunteer job like clerk of course, duckies etc - you should bring a hard copy with you!

Speaking of Heat... It's going to be a HOT one today. It should feel over 100 at the meet. Please hydrate your swimmers today. Please consider sitting on the hill to get some shade! 

SWIMTOPIA APP: Big thanks to the Maggio Family for advancing our races in the app last meet. This was a great way to follow along with the meet. The basic app is free - but you can upgrade for $2.49 for the whole month and it offers many more features. Example - the heat sheet is already posted to the app.  Pool WiFi is: HO Pool / password: hunteroaks. 

REMINDER ABOUT SEATING/PARKING: Please do not park on Robinsbrook. The street is narrow and gets way too crowded. Plan to park in the lot, or along Beckford Glen, or walk if you can. Chairs can be set up on deck - along the clubhouse side and outside the deck on the shaded hill. No spectator chairs will be set up on the life guard side OR under the pavilion. The pavilion is reserved for the Away Team! 

Please do NOT set up chairs before 4:30pm.

FOOD TRUCKS: An email went out yesterday with pre-order links for the food trucks. We encourage you to use those to beat the lines. This is also posted on social media. Come hungry and support the trucks as a portion of proceeds goes back to the team. 

VOLUNTEERS: Please check-in at the volunteer table no later than 5:30pm (unless you are meet set-up, ice runner etc). There are timer meetings and stroke and turn meetings scheduled at 5:30/5:40 - please be sure to attend those if that is your role tonight.

SWIMMERS: All Water Jets swimmers should be on deck and ready for warm-ups at 5:25pm! The meet will begin promptly at 6pm. Please help the Clerk of Course by putting your child's first initial and last name on their shoulder blade in sharpie (i.e. E. Jordan).

Please help us with your kids on deck. They should only be at the Clerk of Course or over by the blocks if they are lining up to swim. Please keep them OUT of the water otherwise. No dips in the shallow end, no legs dangling in on the sides.

ALSO - After the race is finished, Coach Whitney would like the swimmers to STAY IN THE POOL until everyone in their heat has finished the race. This doesn't apply to the shrimpers - but all other swimmers should wait until everyone in their heat is finished before getting out. It's a way to show sportsmanship. And be sure to remind your kids to congratulate the other team too! 

IM & Medley Relay Order: If your child is swimming the IM - the order is: Butterfly, Back, Breast, Free. Not to be confused with the Medley relay. If they are swimming a leg in the Medley rely - the order is: Back, Breast, Butterfly, Free (this one is in ABC order!).

ATTENDANCE FOR NEXT WEEK: Finally - please declare your swimmers attendance for Thursday's meet by TONIGHT. If they are undeclared - they won't swim. 

PARENT RELAY: Due to popular demand... the parent relay is back! We are planning to surprise our kiddos with a quick parent relay race at the end of the meet tonight. WARNING: It will probably take place around 10:30pm or so. This is something we started last year during virtual meets. If you'd like to participate, bring a suit and email Blake Williams: [email protected] so he knows how many to plan for. Thanks Blake for coordinating this fun event! 

Thank you! See you on deck tonight!
