Today is the first of two HOME MEETS! Home meets are a little different than away meets so please read on for details. We are responsible to run the event and to fill more volunteer roles.
1)_Arrival time is 4:30PM.
a) we will have Dolphin tattoos for the kids to put on (be mindful of their trash please)
b) on deck stretching 4:45PM; in pool warm ups 5pm.
c) JUNIOR DOLPHINS RACE: 5:45PM
2) Parking: we try to leave the painted/paved spots for our guests by parking our cars on the grass. Please do some PERPENDICULARLY so that we can optimize space (turn onto the grass just as you would a parking spot). If you don't feel comfortable in doing so, feel free to drop off your stuff and park further away.
3) We divide the pool up into sides. The host team (us) will be on the snack bar side and the guest team will be along the fence from diving boards to baby pool area. Please set up your space wisely!
4) The club concession stand will be open with limited food items and drinks/chips/snacks. Members can charge their accounts and guests can pay cash during swim meets. As per VSL rules, there are no alcohol sales permitted during the swim meet.
5) IT WILL BE HOT TODAY.
a) Make sure you have plenty of snacks and hydrating electrolyte friendly drink options.
b) We will have tents for volunteers.
c) We will also follow Ashby's example and let people jump in at event 31. If you'd like to do that, make sure you have a suit on.
5) Bring your suits anyway for our post meet PIZZA PARTY!
a)The party/ bar will open as soon as the guest team departs (usually 8:30-45ish)
b) The cost is $5 per person for pizza, with a $20 cap for each family. You can venmo our team account @Spotswood-Dolphins (phone number 540-383-7476).
c) Pizza will arrive around 8:30PM; lights will be on in the pool for night swimming under watch of lifeguards, of course; and the bar will be open until 10PM. You can still as long or as short as you desire.
6) Volunteer help: please sign up to fill these spots! There are extra jobs this week: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508094EAFA623A6FC1-42971365-meet#/

-starter (gannon, and whoever else wants to learn the job)!
-head clerk (Lena, and whoever else wants to help)
-head computer
-hospitality (organizes cups of trail mix, grapes, popsicles, and waters to serve all volunteers and also helps organize the pizza party).
-national anthem performer. I am always happy to do it, but I would love to see one of our swimmers take it on! :-)
-CLEAN UP: I don't have volunteer spots for this, but it is incumbent upon ALL Dolphins to help after the meet! It's never a problem, but it is worth stating the reminder too.
7) Lineup is coming... waiting for the other team to finish up a few things. I will text everyone when this is ready and synced with Swimmingly Fan.
8) The pool closes for set up at 3PM today.
9) The calendar of the season states no Wednesday AM practices tomorrow or next week. We have decided to hold practice tomorrow morning, especially since we had a four day weekend. If it is not well attended, then we will consider this for next week's decision.
