Dear Maniacs,

Tomorrow is our last HOME B-Meet! The MEET PROGRAM is attached. Please print at home & highlight your child’s events. We will not have copies at the pool. You can also view heats in the Swimtopia app!

VOLUNTEERS! We need you to make our meets happen! If your child is swimming in B meets, we ask that you volunteer at least twice this swim season. WE STILL NEED 4 TIMERS! 

Separately, we have a few reminders:

FOOD:

WEATHER:

It’s going to be HOT! Please take the heat seriously. Start hydrating in advance–bring lots of cold water and/or sports drinks with you on Wednesday (water bottles can be refilled at our water fountain by Mack’s Cafe). Sun hats and portable fans are great too. Freezing wet towels to drape around your neck is also a great idea. We want to make sure everyone stays hydrated and safe.

No rain is in the forecast but it's good to know our policy. We will pause the meet if there is thunder or heavy rain. Upon hearing the first roll of thunder there will be a 30 minute delay. Subsequent thunder resets the clock for another 30 min, with a maximum overall wait of 45 minutes. At Merrimack, waiting locations are limited. Swimmers and families must vacate the pool facilities and deck. Swimmers should wait in the parking lot or in their vehicles.

Go Maniacs!!

Your Team Reps,

Anne Glass and Anna Park (B reps)
