Championship Meet Info
SV Sea Dragons,
The Championship Meet is this Sunday, June 26!! Please read the info below and the attachment carefully to be prepared!!
Reminder - Our end of season party will be Monday, June 27 from 6:00-8:30 at the Vintage Oaks Amenities Center. We will give out swimmer awards first, then have dinner and access to the pool and lazy river facilities. We still have several who have not RSVP'ed, so please do so today!!!
Champs Shirts - For those who pre-ordered shirts, I will have them at practice on Friday morning and at the meet, so please make sure to pick yours up.
Championship Meet Location - The meet will be at the Palo Alto Natatorium, and the address is 1400 W. Villaret Blvd., San Antonio, 78224.
Time - Please plan to arrive by 7:30 AM, warm up is at 8:00, and the meet starts at 9:00. It should be over around 12:30.
Format - This is a big meet with the 4 largest teams in the league. The meet will run in 2 pools at the same time with 11 & up in one pool, and 10 & under in a separate pool. This makes the events go by much faster than they have at our dual meets because the 10 & under pool will skip the 11 & up events and the 11 & up pool will skip the 10 & under events. For example, the 10 & under pool will swim events 9-14, then skip 15-20 and go directly to 21. Please have your swimmers stay in the team area!! Their events will be closer together than they are used to, and we don't want them to miss one!!
Check in - When you arrive, find our team section in the bleachers, and check in with either me or Ms. Sipple. This year, we will get the heat sheet in advance, so I will send it out as soon as I get it. Please mark the Event-Heat-Lane info on your swimmer's arm prior to arriving at the meet if possible. If you need help, we will have check in volunteers to assist you.
What to bring - This is a large, indoor facility with enough seating for everyone, so there is no need to bring chairs or pop-up tents. Outside food is not allowed in the natatorium, so do not bring coolers. On the bright side, it is less to pack and haul in!!
Some additional reminders from the league:
1. The concession stand is contracted out by Palo Alto and is not run by the league. It is a CASH ONLY concession stand. PLEASE BRING SMALLER BILLS LIKE $5s and $1s to the meet.
2. Items not allowed into the natatorium: CHAIRS AND FOOD FROM THE OUTSIDE. Outside food will be confiscated by PAC security since there is a concession stand. Do not bring in ice chests.
3. We will try to keep teams' assigned seating in the West bleachers with most of the parents seated in the East bleachers. Some of the East bleachers have seats with backs, but not all.
4. DO NOT park on the grass or be prepared to be towed! Please park only in paved lots.
Go Sea Dragons!!!
