If anyone has any questions, please send me a note now and I will be happy to go over any last minute details. This is an exciting time for our swimmers. Make sure they get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids between now and the end of the week. You will be able to buy a heat sheet booklet at the meet to determine which heat your swimmer will be in. Last year the book was approx $5. All proceeds go to the Senior Scholarship Fund. There will also be plenty of food on sale in concessions at the meet if you do not want to carry a cooler. Don't forget sunscreen--we will be under a tent, but still out in a parking lot, hopefully under sunny skies! One last thing...make sure your kids get to practice tomorrow --if they have questions for Mike or Meg, now's the time to ask.
We wish your swimmers all the best of luck and look forward to seeing you under the Woodmont Tent this Thursday.
