Good Afternoon Cary City Meet Parents - Please take a few minutes and read thru the information below and take a good look at the attached .pdf file.

1. We have big tent which is our home base ( you will see our spot to the right of the yellow clerk of course block on the attachment) There will be 1000+ swimmers on Saturday which means home base means home base. The kids love to see their friends but it they aren't at home base they will miss there swims. The meet runs fast and if they aren't with their group at the clerk tent they will miss their swim.

2. Heather Hall & Lyra Rakusin are doing some tent decorating on Friday evening. Time is TBD but please reach out if you & your swimmers would like to help decorate.

3. PAY ATTENTION to the parking information in the .pdf. Primary parking will be at the Church across from Cary City Club - overflow will be at Cary High School. YOU MAY DROP OFF YOUR SWIMMERS in the designated area and send them to the tent and then go park.

4. PAY ATTENTION - Tangle wood will be one way in front of Cary City Club on Saturday. LOOK AT the map - you can only access it from Walnut Street.

5. DO NOT park at the Dairy Queen or Ollies lot or at the little shopping strip with the pizza place and sub shop - They WILL TOW your car. We watched this happen before.

6. Kildaire Farms age 11& up   will warm up in Lane 3 at 1:00  You will go AS A GROUP with the Coaches . Remind the swimmers. OUR TENT is HOME BASE and we will look for them there.  If they miss their swim..... and I'm not mentioning any names.... there will be a talking too....

7. Please check in with ME as soon as you arrive.

8. We need TWO VOLUNTEER TIMERS  -  for the afternoon Session.  Please tell LYRA if you can volunteer or if you will split the shift with someone else that would be grand but you will still need to attend the timer meeting

9. There will be concessions and food trucks. Bring Cash because not all of them accept credit cards

10. There will be Cary City Meet tee-shirts - $15 - cash or venmo. The kids like these because they wear them at school and there is a comradarie.

11. You will need to PRINT your own Heat Sheet. They will NOT be available for Sale at the meet.

12. Stuff happens but please remember that the club paid for your swimmer to swim and a lot of work goes into coordinating the lanes/ the heats so if you committed to this meet please show up.

13. Please bring your chairs , water bottles, snacks tp share - NO GLASS items - extra towels and blankets or things for the kids to sit on. Extra googles if you have them.   I will bring extra caps

pro tip - bring yourself a couple of cold towels that you can keep in your cooler - if it's hot you will be very happy you brought them and bring your own coffee :)

.14. Watch for more emails to come !!
