Some additional details for families participating in Cary City tomorrow...

Our team NEEDS 2 volunteers: stroke and turn in the morning and a floater for the afternoon. You will see the meet volunteer document attached.  Please respond to this email if you can do either.

Please know that the KF has paid for every swimmer's entry and for each event they are swimming. Thank you for honoring this commitment.

Important Reminders

- This meet will follow TSA rules and finishes are based on times.

- Clarification requests for Stroke and Turn decisions can only come from a coach or a TSA rep, not a swimmer or parent.

- Please write your swimmer's first initial and first three letters of last name on their left shoulder. We will have sharpies in our tent if you don't have a chance.

- Each team will line up swimmers under their tent. Please keep your swimmers close to your tent so that you are not chasing them down when it is time to line up! Then, the swimmers will move to the main staging area for Clerk of Course. Please be sure that your child is paying attention and does not miss their age group call. Please remind your swimmer to listen at Clerk of Course to ensure that they do not miss their swim. With such a large meet, they are unable to slow the flow of the meet for swimmers that are not on time to Clerk of Course.

- The main emphasis at Cary City Meet is on SPIRIT and FUN!! Wear your costumes, bring music and have a great time! We will be judging tents and swimmers throughout the day for our coveted Spirit Award!

Looking forward to this fun event tomorrow!
