Good afternoon, Gators!

It’s going to be a hot one tonight!!! Bring your cap, goggles, towels, sunscreen, lots of water and Gatorade!

Location: 791 4TH Avenue Middletown, OH 45044

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.
2. For our meet at Forest Hills tonight, our team will sit in the grassy area next to lane 6.  
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. I am also attaching the relay report as athlete names are not listed on the heat sheet for relays.  Heat sheets are also accessible on the SwimTopia app.
   • Please note there are several events combined and are listed accordingly on the heat sheet (but will not look that way on Athlete Entries), these are: MOST relays, ALL 15 and over IMs, and 13/14 50 Fly
4. Parking fills up quickly as Cardinal Hill is in a neighborhood. Use the lot in front of the pool (50 spots) with additional spots (30 spots) at the top of the driveway in front of the banquet room. Parking on the grass is permitted to the RIGHT of the pool and the grassy areas along the driveway. Parking guides will be available. Please DO NOT park on the practice green. The golf course will be open during swim meets, so please make sure you are not blocking any exit lanes. Street Parking also available on 4th Avenue. Please advise for handicapped parking and we can put out signs.
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 hot, so make sure to be prepared with drinks and shade. Make sure to reapply sunscreen frequently (PSA- spray sunscreen will remove Sharpie from skin, make sure to not spray the sunscreen on events written on arms).
7. See the attached Meet Guide from Forest Hills.
8. Volunteer check-in: Gator Volunteer Sign with Hilary at the tent with the "Gators Volunteer Sign"
