Good morning!

We are so excited for our first meet against the Cibolo Canyon Water Buffalos! They have a nice pool and facility, and I know our kids are ready to compete. Unfortunately we will not have t-shirts ready for the first meet, but if you have been part of our team previously, please wear your Sea Dragons shirt! Also unfortunately, our swim cap order has been backordered and we are unsure of when it will arrive. I will bring the extras that I have from last year, which will be passed out to new families first. If you have another swim cap or a cap from last year, please bring it! Also, be ready to share with others. This is an unfortunate mishap that is out of our control, but we can control how we respond to it!

You are receiving this message because your swimmer is entered into 1 or more events for Saturday's Meet. Please read this information carefully so that you are fully prepared.

• Please arrive at the pool no later than 7:00am. The address is 3650 TPC Pkwy., San Antonio, TX 78261
• IMPORTANT: Cibolo has a small parking lot and are off a main street so there is NO onsite parking. All parents, spectators, volunteers will need to park at Cibolo Green Elementary School (24315 Bulverde Green, San Antonio, TX 78261). This is about .7 miles from the pool. A shuttle will be provided to the pool starting at 630am. Parents can drop off at the pool and then park at the school. Plan accordingly!!!
• The visiting team will set up on the side of the pool (when you walk in), under the trees. 
• Check in under the BLUE TENT with the volunteers. If you do not check in with the volunteers at the BLUE tent by 7:15, we will assume you are absent and you will be removed from your events.
• Warm-ups begin at 7:30. Swimmers need to have caps and goggles on and be ready to warm up at 7:30. Coaches will call age groups for warm ups. IF YOUR CHILD SWIMS IN A MEDLEY RELAY, THEY WILL GET OUT OF THE POOL AFTER WARM UP AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE READY BENCH. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE SCRAMBLING TO FIND OUR RELAY SWIMMERS.
• Meet begins at 8:00.
• Concessions will be available: Breakfast tacos, coffee, various snacks, water, Gatorade, powerade, and candy. Chick Fil A will be available for lunch. Cash or Venmo accepted. You are also allowed to bring in your own drinks and snacks for your swimmers. 
• Bring chairs, blankets, and EZ Up tents if you have them! Prepare with PLENTY of water!
• ATTACHMENTS: If you are new to us, or need a refresher, I have attached a document that helps you prepare for the meet. It lets you know what to bring and how to "mark up" your swimmer for their events.
• Also attached is the athlete check in sheet, which lists each child alphabetically and the events they are swimming. This will help you find your child on the heat sheet more easily.
• Lastly, the heat sheet is attached. You will use this to "mark up" your child before the meet (see preparing for a meet attachment) and also to follow along as the meet progresses. Please print this at home before coming to the meet- they will not be available at the meet. You can also download the Swimtopia app to follow all of our meets on your phone!
• If you signed up to volunteer for this meet, you will receive another separate reminder email shortly. Volunteers will also check in under the blue tent. 

Lastly, please be patient and prepared as we tackle our first meet. If you are a veteran parent, please help those that are new with questions, where to go and what to do. We are representing the Sea Dragons! We truly have the best parents, and I ask that everyone work together to make this a great meet. This includes cleaning up after the meet.

Please let us know if you have any questions! Go Sea Dragons!
