Blue & White Meet this Saturday
Get excited as our team has a practice meet and time trial.  This is a great first experience for our newest and youngest swimmers.  
Warmups at 8am, starting the meet at 8:30 and aiming to finish by 10:30am at the latest.  We will not be swimming relays.  

We still need a few essential volunteer positions including: 

• Concessions- selling food; you can step away to see your swimmer : )
• Hospitality
• 6&under girls Kid Pusher (gathering the kids and leading them to clerk of course)
• 7-8 boys Kid Pusher
• Lane Pusher- making sure kids are where they should be behind lanes
• Head Timer
• Set up and clean up crew
• Sign up here at Job Signup: https://lpk.swimtopia.com/swim_meets
  
  

What to expect

• Swimmers will check in at a table to receive their swimmer number written on their arm. This lets us know who is here, and will help timers know who your swimmer is in the water.  
• We'll have more space with just our team, but you may want to bring your own camp chair for comfort.  These are definitely recommended at our other meets.  
• 6&unders  swim Freestyle, Backstroke, and Breaststroke to the 15 yd mark.  There will be older swimmers nearby for safety.  It's important for them to go to warmups so coaches can double check their skill level and assistance needs.  They will receive a colored band so helpers know whether they need (red) or do not need (green) hands-on assistance.  

Check the weather and bring extra towels, cozy sweatshirt, and plenty of cash

for concessions.  Swimmers get hungry.
