Good afternoon, Gators!

It’s going to be a chilly, but fun night! Bring your cap, goggles, towels, and warm clothes!

Location: Vandalia Cassel Hills Pool 1061 Taylorsview Drive Vandalia, OH 45377

1. Stretching will begin at 5:15 P.M. Please arrive at the pool a few minutes early so your swimmer is ready to go. In water warm ups begin at 5:30 P.M. with the 11 and over age group; 10 and under swimmers will begin their in water warm up at 5:45, please have them ready and at the pool edge by 5:40 so we are ready to roll. Additionally, all swimmers will meet by the dive well after warm-ups for the team cheer around 5:55. Visiting team warm ups start at 5:30 and go until 5:55. We will begin the national anthem at 5:55 and begin swimming the assisted events at 6:00.
2. For our meet at Vandalia tonight, our team will sit on the right hand side of the pool area when you enter.
3. Heat sheets are attached to this email. Remember "Athlete entries" is a way to see all events your swimmer is in so you know where to look on the heat sheets. If you want a paper copy, be sure to bring one as we are not selling heat sheets this year and many away teams may not sell them either. Vandalia uses SwimTopia, so your athlete's information should be in the app as well.
4. Parking is in the pool lot and quite large, so parking should not be a problem tonight.
5. Assisted swimmers will swim first.
6. Use our swim meet 101 help sheet (sent with time trials information) to make sure you are all set for tonight. Bring blankets, tents, etc. to help make your camp cozy :-) It’s going to be a bit chilly, so make sure swimmers have sweatshirts and pants to keep them warm as the sun goes down.
7. Volunteer check-in: Gator Volunteer Sign with Michelle at the tent with the "Gators Volunteer Sign"

• 1st half (events 1-40) volunteers- check-in by 5:30
• 2nd half (events 41-80) volunteers- check-in by event 30 or sooner
• Remember to check-in by the designated time as late check-ins may result in the team having to fill your shift and not receiving volunteer credit.
• We are short three volunteers (1- 1st half timer and 2- 2nd half timers) for tonight. If you have not been able to sign up for your 5 volunteer shifts for the season, please reach out and we will gladly help you pick up a shift for tonight.
