We are excited for our 3^rd and final home meet. We see continued improvement in both our swimmers’ performance and our meet execution with each passing event. Our biggest challenge during the last meet was dealing with no shows. We had 5 or 6 no shows at the last meet. No shows created lots of confusion and last minute scrambling. To address this, we are requesting and implementing the following procedures:

• All swimmers to be signed in at the sign in table upon arrival and between 6:45-7:15 (sign in table will have Shark cover and be on sidewalk in front of side gate)
• Swimmers not signed in by 7:15 will be scratched from the meet

Why?

Once we definitely know who is and isn’t there, we will have time to fix some of the relay teams. Last time we had to scrap several relay heats because of no shows. If we know early who is a no show, we can potentially add another swimmer to the relay and  prevent the other 3 swimmers from sitting out.

A big thanks to so many of you that tirelessly contribute to the team’s success. Please help us to create a smoother event and make certain to sign your swimmer in by 7:15 am. If you’re have an early morning crisis and are running late, please text (904) 501-4365 and indicate your situation. Thanks for cooperating and helping to make this a success.

• 6:45 AM - Arrive at pool and set up in Tent City - Check-In your swimmer
