All-

We are excited to have our first meet this weekend! There are LOTS of important details so please read carefully (new and returning families alike!).

Ice Cream Party & Parent Meeting: Looking forward to seeing everyone 5-7pm tonight. Kids are welcome to swim- the beach is closed. Parent Meeting will be at 6:00pm in the pavilion. We will be doing some meet set-up tonight- if you have 15 minutes after the parent meeting to help many hands make for light (and quick!) work.

Swim Caps: Caps will be available for pick up tonight. If you still need to purchase one please do so in the team store before arriving so we can have it ready for you.

Red White Meet Info

Saturday Arrival & Warm-Ups: Plan to arrive by 7:05am to allow time to park by the tennis courts and walk down. Swimmers should be on deck at 7:10am. 

Warm ups: 7:15-7:25am Guppies, Minnows and Sunfish, 7:25-7:45am Dolphins and Sharks. 

Swimmers should stop by the hand writers (at the picnic tables) to get their events written before/after warm-ups. Warm Ups are important and the coaches would like ALL swimmers there.

Reminders: swimmers need to be in an ILBC cap or plain cap. No other team logos on swimsuits. Swim shirts are not allowed nor are girls suits that tie in back. 

Volunteers: Please check in with Matt Weimer Saturday morning at the picnic table in front of the clubhouse. This is essential to make sure you receive credit for volunteering and getting your badge. Please plan to arrive before you are scheduled to allow time for parking etc. There will be a required meeting for our TIMERS at 7:40am and Stroke and Turn Judges at 7:30am outside the screen porch attached to the clubhouse.  Please note - set-up team we start at 7am to make sure we are ready to go at 8:00am .

Heat Sheet-Events: Our heat sheet is attached. These will typically come Friday afternoon. Please check the heat sheet for relays too! If you wake up with a sick kiddo please email us to let us know ASAP.

Swimmer Line-Up: Swimmers will line up on the diving board end of the pool deck as their event approaches. They should head over 1-2 events before theirs. Our volunteers will make sure they are in the right heat and lane. This meet will move quickly so please help your swimmer not miss any events!

General Meet Information:

• Parking: Please park up by the tennis courts and in the grass. We need to keep the lower lots open to members and head volunteers bringing large amounts of equipment.
• Concessions: Will be open! Bring some cash and enjoy some breakfast food and other good stuff. Got a nervous swimmer? Reward (bribe?) them with concessions money for candy if they swim! .
• Seating: Parents are welcome to sit on the deck with their athletes. You'll want to bring chairs and maybe a tent too. Outside the pool deck is a great place to sit with lots of shade. Please do NOT sit on the grass inside the deck.
• Beach is CLOSED: The beach is closed during swim meets! Swimmers need to be in the seating areas around the pool deck to ensure they don't miss their events. Siblings need to be under direct parent supervision during the meet. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
• Not dogs or smoking. A quick reminder that dogs are not permitted at swim meets and that ILBC is a smoke-free property.

Feel free to reach out with questions or ask tomorrow at our parent meeting.

Bring all your questions tonight!
