Hi Killer Whales,

Hard to believe that tonight is the last meet of the season before champs! It is going to be great to see all of the progress the swimmers have made so far this season. I have attached the heat sheet for the meet, which has all of the heat and lane assignments for your swimmers. For those using the mobile app, the heats sheets will be published prior to the meet once finalized. This meet has the two biggest teams, so it is expected to go quite a bit longer than the last one. It is estimated to end after 10pm, but we have been working to combine some events to hopefully get out sooner than that.

Below I have laid out the basic "house-keeping" items. The information on the website is always helpful as well.

*we will have volunteers available to do this when the swimmer checks in, but parent's can do this as well

TONIGHT'S MEET: The swimmers were told to arrive at 4:00. Please be AT THE BORAH POOL (801 S Aurora Dr., Boise, ID 83704) on time so that we have everyone warming up by 4:15. The meet starts at 5pm. Please arrive early enough to check in with a coach or board member. Please be aware of where your swimmers are and help them listen for their race numbers and send them at 1st call. Wear your team suit and team cap!

PARENTS: You may come early and set up your awnings and stake them to the ground. For parking, we have been warned that cars have been ticketed and towed for parking in the bike lane on Cassia St. The Borah pool has limited parking available but there is also Borah High School close by that I believe we are able to park at. Just pay attention to signage.

We will also be having concessions available again at this meet. It will be great for some of those late night "pick me ups"!

As always, no parents or swimmers on deck with exception to volunteers and swimmers called to their events.

WHAT TO BRING: Swim meets are long but fun! Bring a great attitude, a team attitude. Don't forget: Awning, towels, blanket, extra goggles, SWIM CAP, team suit, camera, water bottles, cooler, camp chairs, Sharpie, sunscreen, book, playing cards, things to do for the kids between events.

VOLUNTEERS: Please be to the deck by 4:30 to learn your jobs and check in with Angela Spaulding. Wear sunscreen and bring water!

Let's have some fun tomorrow! Go Killer Whales!

Tomorrow at practice, please pick up your ribbons from a board member at the pool gate. They are sorted by family, and we are excited to get them in your hands. Tomorrow at practice, we will have a fun/game day but after a short workout.
