Hi Orca Families!

The swimmers have been working hard to prepare for our first swim meet! We are swimming against Shallowford Lakes at HOME, Tuesday 6/6.

Here is some important information for your review:

• The swimmers in tomorrow's meet are those that confirmed attendance on the swimtopia app.
• Please arrive at Oak Valley Pool by 4:30pm. Do not arrive prior to 4pm unless you are a part of the set-up crew.
• You are welcome to set up tents/chairs along the side of the pool closest to the entrance.
• Swimmers aged 10 and under - it would be really helpful if you would write their name on their back (shoulder area). It is also helpful to mark their event # / heat # / lane # on their forearm or leg. See a coach or an experienced swimmer for details.
• Please be sure your swimmer(s) (young and old) are aware of where they need to be and when. Though we have clerks to help with the younger swimmers, sometimes our older swimmers miss their events because they were not paying attention.
• Warm-ups start at 5:00 (6&unders - we hope to get in at 4:50 for a quick warm up). The meet starts at 5:30.
• Swimmers are expected to wear their OAK VALLEY swim caps.
• All of our home meets have themes! Tuesday's theme is "Jersey Night" - families are encouraged to represent their favorite sports team!
• Most of your other questions can probably be answered here:
  • Swim Meet 101 (great place for timers to review our timing system)
  • FAQs & Resources (check out how to mark your swimmers!)
• Attached you will find a PDF file showing your swimmers events. The actual heat sheet with event, heat, lane etc will be available tomorrow. We will send out a notification when it is ready.

See you at the pool!
