Good morning!

We are so excited for our first meet against the Boerne Riptide! 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 a Sea Dragons shirt! 

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 106 City Park Road., Boerne, TX 78006
• Parking will be available in the lot adjacent to the pool. Overflow parking is available across the street. Please do not park in any marked spots.
• The visiting team will set up on the left side of the pool (when you walk in). 
• Check in under the TEAM TENT with the volunteers. If you do not check in with the volunteers at the team 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. Credit cards and digital forms of payment are accepted only. You are also allowed to bring in your own drinks and snacks for your swimmers.
• In addition, Boerne is offering pre-orders from Mary's Tacos. Tacos will be available at concessions for those who ordered ahead. Orders close TODAY AT 5:00PM. Order at https://www.boerneelite.com/tacos
• 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!
• Since this is a city pool, we have to be finished with the meet and have the pool cleared by 1:00pm. The meet will run very quickly. It is ESSENTIAL that our swimmers are listening for their name to be called to line up and are ready to swim. We want to be the best visiting team Boerne has all season. 
• If you signed up to volunteer for this meet, you will receive another separate reminder email shortly. Volunteers will also check in under the team tent. If you have not signed up to help, please double check the volunteer spots on the website. We are still in need of help during the second half of the meet. 

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!
