Things to Remember:

Swimmer Check In and Volunteer Check in will be in the Team Set up Area. See map below for a general idea. Contact Aaron Wood if running late: 713-876-1930

Bring your chairs, but no tents are allowed. We will have a team set up area where we can all sit together and help get kids to the ready bench when their events are called.

No set up or coolers are allowed in the stands. It will be full of people coming in and out to watch the swimmers. There is minimal room. We will be relying on people to watch their swimmer and leave to allow the next spectators to come in. Even if you have a swimmer in the next event, remember there are several heats of each event. No standing on the balcony rail, as it can block views.

Any protests should be brought to Elizabeth Urgelles, our Team Rep. She is the proper channel to handle issues. Results are not valid in the app until they are verified by officials.

There will be several food trucks in attendance and they will be setup outside the cafeteria. See menus below.

Only swimmers and personnel are allowed on deck.

If a swimmer missed their event, go to the Coach immediately to try and get placed into an event.

Please report to your volunteer positions promptly. Please do not leave your Volunteer position until your replacement arrives and you have shared duty information.

Please clean up your area outside and in the stands.

Results will be uploaded within an hour of the meet ending. You must let us know if you are attending an end of season invitational and what events you want to be in by Saturday night. Sunday morning we will be turning in meet entries.
- Invitational Swimmers can attend open practices next week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 5-6:30 for all swimmers. (Thursday is awards night)

Reminders from the board:

Fill out our end of season survey
RSVP for awards night (Just like you would declare for a meet) and purchase your tickets for fajitas if you would like to eat (cash, check, or zelle – [email protected]. $7 per person) TODAY
