Hello Swimmers / Families,

We have so many important details to relay to you about our Mock Meet on Tuesday. Please make sure to read the entirety of the email below and reach out with any additional questions you have for us!

About the Mock Meet: The mock meet is Tuesday, June 6th at 6pm. The mock meet will help us understand how a real meet is run, learn our jobs, test equipment, and for coaches to get swimmer times.

Speakers / Sound Board: Do we have any parents that are able to come early for Speaker / Sound Board set up? This is something we haven't tested out yet and are not quite sure how to do.

Additional Information:

Swimmer Check In: Swimmers need to check in with their coaches at 4:45pm. At check in, swimmers will get their number (written on their arm) before stretching / warm-ups. Swimmers can set their towels & belongings with their “Age Group” sign that will be hanging on the fence. This will be your swimmers “Home Base” which will help our Kid Pushers find each swimmer for their events. For the mock meet, stretching will begin at 5:15pm and warm-ups will begin at 5:30.

Team Picture: The 2023 Team Picture will be taken at 5:00pm before warm-ups for the Mock Meet. There will be no make-up pictures so please be on time!

Parent Volunteer Check In: Volunteers will need to find Janice Bowers at the meet to get signed in for their job and get their name tag.

• Set Up Parent Volunteers need to report to Janice by 4:30pm. Many hands make light work. Please do what you can to come early and help set up even if you did not sign up for this volunteer shift.
• Other Meet Volunteers need to check in with Janice by 5:30pm.
• Tear Down Parent Volunteers: Please plan to stay after the meet to put everything away. You do not need to check in with Janice until after the meet is over. We will meet under the clubhouse near concessions after the meet is over. Once again, please say to help tear down after the meet even if you did not sign up for this volunteer shift.

National Anthem: If you or your children are musically talented and would like to sing/play the National Anthem before our swim meets this season, please volunteer by sending an email to devereauxdevilrayswimteam@gmail.com.

Equipment: Swimmers will need their goggles, swim cap, and a one piece swimsuit for swim meets. Swimsuits can be purchased at All American Swim (Kiefer Aquatics). The water may be chilly again this week, so please make sure to pack your swimmers sweaters, sweatpants, bathrobes, extra towels, etc.
