Hi swim families!

We are 2 days away from our first meet of the season in Didsbury with just over 200 swimmers registered from across the region.

I am assuming that our team will be in the first group for warmups; so please plan to be at the Didsbury pool by 7:15-7:20 for a 7:30 warmup start time.

When not racing or in marshalling, swimmers will be staged on the dry pad in the arena.  Please bring chairs, blankets, extra towels, quiet games and lots of snacks.  The meet should run until about 4:30 pm, but as is the case for any swim meet, sometimes life happens and there are delays; so we don't have an exact finish time for the meet.

Swimmers are expected to come and talk to their coach prior to going to marshalling and again after their meet to talk about race strategy and review each race.

The team caps have arrived and have started to be handed out during practices.  If your swimmer doesn't attend practice before the meet then their cap will be given to them at the meet.  Additional caps can be purchased from the club.  I don't know when our team shirts will arrive but they will be handed out as soon as they are available.

We are working on goal sheets with yellow, silver, orange and black groups.  Black Tail swimmers are expected to bring their goal sheet with them to the Didsbury meet if they haven't yet handed it in to Coach Amy.  Goal sheets for yellow, silver and orange will be distributed at the meet by coaches Max and Eli.  We are hoping parents can help swimmers fill in their sheets during the down time throughout the day.

I have attached the individual and relay entry information that was submitted to the meet manager.  They are also available as attached files in Swimtopia under the Didsbury event

If anything changes and your swimmer(s) will not be able to attend the meet, please email your swimmer(s)'s coach ASAP.
