NOTE TO PARENTS: Please be sure before the meet that you and your swimmers know what they are swimming in the meet. Please write on there hand there event #, heat and lane. This is for each event they are swimming in the meet. By doing this it makes it easier for the swimmer to get to their event. This will be a large meet so we must make sure we have things together. The coaches do not have time to write event, heat and lane on each swimmer. We need to be able to watch each of the races! Thank you for you cooperation.
