Hello Parents,

We have received the technical bulletin for the meet this weekend.  Key points

1. pick up swimmer "bag tag" near the access gate between 6:45 and 7:30 am (swimmers need this tag to get through the gate and down to the pool deck.).

2. morning warmups - we are in the warmup pool in lanes 6 - 8.  Sunday warmups are one hour later than saturday warmups

7:15 - 7:35 - Black

7:35 - 7:50 - Orange and Silver

7:50 - 8:00 - Yellow, Red and Dev

3. Afternoon warmups - The time for afternoon warmups is TBD.  It is typically about 30-60 minutes after the last event of the morning.  We have lanes 5&6 in the competition pool ... this time slot will be reserved for piranhas racing in individual events.  Relay only swimmers can use the warmup/cooldown lanes later in the afternoon as they get closer to the start of the relays.

4. Afternoon session - the Saturday afternoon session starts with the 400m Free. After the 400, swimmers that placed in the top 8 in their age group in their morning swims will swim again in the afternoon in finals.  The list of qualifiers will be posted at MNP and the coaches will send the info on swimtopia.  Relays follow the finals session.

5. Awards

Looks like there will be 3 different sessions. Timings are TBD but location is upstairs close to where the dive tower is

Saturday afternoon after finals - typically all individual events from Saturday

Sunday lunchtime - typically the Medley Relay medals

Sunday afternoon after finals - all Sunday events including relays

6. cooldown/warmup lanes

There will be 2 lanes available in the warmup pool throughout the meet (outside of the scheduled warmup times).  Swimmers must be actively warming up or cooling down when using these lanes and not just playing.

7. relay changes

We have had to make a few relay changes.  Affected swimmers are Aaron, Isaac & Tony (moved to different relays for both free and medley) and Eastin, Cohen, and Zach for the FREE relay only (unfortunately this relay will be scratched)

If something comes up today or early tomorrow PLEASE LET THE COACHES KNOW so we can change relays if possible.  We are allowed to make relay changes up to 30 minutes before the start of the afternoon session and we want to be able to ensure as many swimmers get to be on relays as possible.

See some of you tonight at the pool and everyone tomorrow at MNP ... Our team is the same size as the Tritons this year at regionals.  Go Piranhas go!!

Coaches Amy, Bryson, Eli and Max
