Good evening Hammerhead Families,

Hope you've had a good start to your week so far. Just wanted to remind you of a couple important things coming up real fast:

1) Time Trials for 11 & Up - TOMORROW, June 24, 6PM. Looks like almost all of the volunteer positions are filled (thank you, volunteers!) but there are a few positions still open - please take a look and sign up to volunteer if you can.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING TIME TRIALS:

• Please arrive a few minutes prior to 6 if possible to get settled and get your swimmers ready for a short warm-up.
• For parents new to the sport - please see this link about marking your swimmer for meets and this link for reading heat sheets. Also, please reference the parent orientation briefing as needed.
• Regarding volunteer jobs, please see this list of job descriptions for more information. We will have lots of experienced parents at the pool that can help explain these jobs, which you'll find are not too difficult to learn.
• Please setup your chairs in the grassy areas outside of the gated pool area adjacent to the pool - we continue to ask that you please continue to maintain social distancing at all times.
• Prior to the start of each race, the event & heat will be announced and the parents of swimmers in that event/heat will be invited to the pool deck to watch.
• Following completion of each race, parents are asked to please leave the pool deck area in preparation for the parents of the next race.
• We will be using the same entrance and exit gates as used during practice.
• Please do not park on the grass (even just part of your tire) - we are allowed to park on Mt. Carmel Road, the side closest to the pool but at no time are we allowed to park vehicles on the grass. There will be at least one volunteer helping to direct traffic, but if you are unable to park in the parking lot, please plan to park on Mt. Carmel Road, on the side closest to the pool, with your vehicle facing West as if you were leaving the neighborhood.

2) Team Pictures - THURSDAY, June 25, 6PM (at the Mt. Carmel Pool). Please wear your team suit or whatever suit you plan to race in. The order form is attached to this e-mail if you would like to fill it out in advance. LaShawn will have hard copy order forms at the pool if you’d rather wait to fill it out there. Note that we will not have a team photo so only individual and family photos are being taken at this time.

Thanks!
