Good Evening Killer Whales Families, 

It's time for our FIRST Meet of the Summer Season  and it is going to be a Tropical Theme so if you have lei's  or Hawaiian shirts or flowers for your hair it's a perfect night to show your Kildaire Farms Spirt and support our swimmers..  Heather has lei's for the swimmers to wear but the more tropical the parents the more fun!

This week we will be hosting the Harmony HammerHeads   swim team at Kildaire Farms. The weather looks great and this promises to be a fun and evenly matched meet so let's bring our A game and have some fun. 

 1. Please arrive at 4:45pm. We will begin warm ups at 4:50pm (ish) and Harmony will warm up at 5:20ish  pm. 

2. As a courtesy to the visiting team Our families will leave the Pool parking lot open for Harmony  families to park in. You may have noticed that other teams do this for us. It is a courtesy to do so and sets a good example for our swimmers and I could really use everyone's help with being good hosts. Please park in the Clubhouse lot or If there are not enough spaces there are additional spaces between the tennis courts and Two Creeks Road . Please do not park in the cul-de-sac across from the pool. 

3. Ms. Nikki will have plenty of Pizza, Hotdogs & Burgers fresh from the grill and the famous Kildaire Farms Walking Taco’s so there is no need to cook and the kids will not complain - smile. We can accept cash and credit cards.

9. Stuff happens - if you are not going to make the meet or you are running late and won't be there by 6pm please text my cell phone @ 704-507-4411  or Jeremy Dott @ 202-262-5317 . Please do not send me an email during the meet as I probably won't see it. If we need to move a main heat swimmer or we need to fill a relay spot that takes time & it means we have to manipulate it in our computer system ( not like the old days) so the sooner you let us know the better. Finding out we are missing a main heat or a relay when the swimmers get to the clerk of courts loses points for the team so please - let me know as soon as possible. 

10. Heat Sheets will be out sometime tomorrow & posted on the fence of the Kiddie pool -  Pro tip - take a picture.

11.  First Time parents -  just take a deep breath and go with the chaos.  It's a LOT to learn and I promise it will make sense by the end of the season when you will promptly forget it all until next year - smile.

12.  This is the link to the team photos that Ms. Rhonda took for us last week - enjoy!
