Good Morning Hunter Oaks Water Jets - 

We are excited for our first home meet tonight against Olde Georgetowne. 

Heat Sheets: Heat sheets are attached. If you are volunteering in the Clerk of Course or handing out ducks - it will be very helpful for you to BRING A PRINTED COPY. Just a heads up - Heat Sheets are not finalized until we email them out. Please don't check Swimtopia until you receive your heat sheet via email - there are a lot of moving pieces in the process. 

Arrival: Our warm-ups are from 5:10-5:30pm. All swimmers should be on deck and ready to go by 5:10pm. 

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.

Reminders for Swimmers: No gum. The only logo that can be on your cap is a Hunter Oaks logo. Absolutely no MSA / School logo'd caps are allowed. HOWJ caps will be available for sale at concessions. Please remind your swimmers (who aren't racing) to stay out of the pool (no dangling legs, no dips in the shallow end) during the meet. Your kids should only be at the Clerk of Course or over by the blocks if they are lining up to swim.

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! 

Swimmers 11 and up - we will do dive over starts. Please stay in the water and the next swimmer will dive over you. This helps move the meet faster. 

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 relay - the order is: Back, Breast, Butterfly, Free (this one is in ABC order!). 

ATTENDANCE FOR NEXT WEEK: Please declare your swimmers attendance for the meets next week if you haven't already. If they are undeclared - they won't swim. This is something you can do in the app! 

What's for Dinner? We have 3 great food trucks tonight and soft pretzels, chips, drinks and candy at concessions! 

• International Truck of Tacos - https://www.internationaltruckoftacos.com/ - Go to More-->Order online-->Hunter Oaks Neighborhood 
• Hog 'n Dog 
• Kona Ice

Shrimp Parents: Tonight is the last meet that coaches are allowed in the water with swimmers per the GCSL by laws. If your child cannot swim the length of the pool unassisted, then they can continue (and are encouraged) to come to practices, but can't swim in the meets again until they can make it across. Please let us know if you have any questions. 

Thank you! See you on deck tonight!
