Penguins,

If you are NOT swimming city you can safely skip this email.  Most of this info is direct from Nelson Farms.

Parking: 

No one is allowed to park on NORWOOD or in our parking lot. This area will be for designated only for Nelson Farm volunteers, Kona Ice, and our officials. We will have 2 accessible handicap spots in the parking lot. You may park along Centennial Dr, Parklake Dr and Lochwood. The police have been informed of our meets and plan to drive through this area several times each day. Do not block anyone's driveway, park near fire hydrants, or park too close to stop signs/intersections.

Volunteers:

All volunteers need to sign in at the side table near the Computer Area. They will also need to find their name tag. Please sign in before 7:30AM whether you are volunteering in either shift 1 or 2 on each day. All volunteers will get either verbal instruction on expectations or an instruction sheet. First shift volunteers will go straight to work at 7:30AM. Second shift volunteers will be told when to return and where.

We still have a couple volunteer positions open.   Day 1: Two timers,  Day 2: Kid Wrangler

We pulled a bait and switch on the volunteers.  If you are signing up now, you probably won't have a name tag per the above info from Nelson Farms...or really what is going to happen is you will have a name tag but it won't be you.   Ha.

Coaches Info:

Nelson Farms will provide three heat sheets for both days.  Unable to print more. 

There will be a coaches' meeting each morning in the Hospitality area at 7:30am. Only coaches and officials are allowed in this area (Baby Pool).

Timers Info:

Based on the estimated times we are making some minor changes to the timer schedule to better balance the two shifts. On Friday, the 1st shift will work through breaststroke (event #30). On Saturday, the 1st shift will work through butterfly (event #72). We have also decided to have two separate timer meetings instead of one early meeting as the meet packet states.

Day 1, 1st shift timer meeting: 7:40 AM

Day 1, 2nd shift timer meeting: 10:50 AM

Day 2, 1st shift timer meeting: 7:40 AM

Day 2, 2nd shift timer meeting: 10:35 AM

This means there will be a short break between events 30 and 31 and between events 72 and 73.

Merchandise and Programs:

Available at the concessions stand sorted by team name.   I suspect whom ever is first will grab all FLR's stuff and bring it to our area.

Tent Info:

You can set up inside the pool area as long as it's not already taped off. You are also allowed to set up on the front lawn and around the fence. The back gate will be open, and we will have many speakers so everyone can hear updates. DO NOT set up your tents on the bike path, as that needs to stay open to the public, and the tennis courts are off limits.

Concessions:

Nelson Farms will provide concessions, including Consuelo's Burritos. We will accept cash or credit cards.

Warm Up Schedule:

Day 1 Friday: 7:15am - 7:40am Lane 1 only (This is D group)

Day 2 Saturday: 6:40am-7:00am Lane 3(shared), Lane 5, Lane 5 (This is C group)

As always I am sure I forgot something.   Hopefully it will get covered in the next email.

Thanks,

-Bryan
