We are in need of a 1^st shift announcer assistant. See Chris George at check in.

QUESTIONS

During the meet, if you have any questions at all, find a board member (in our crazy bright, hot pink shirts!)

SWIMMER NOTES

**We strongly encourage that you and your swimmers begin hydrating Friday and continue to do so throughout the meet.**

You & your swimmers are responsible for cleaning up. Please pick up any trash you have, and make sure you take anything you brought home with you! We want to keep our neighborhood, and the ones we swim in as clean and neat as we found them, if not better.

COVID GUIDELINES

The CDC recently updated its recommendations on the use of masks during outdoor activities. Based on these recommendations, we will not require masks on deck but still encourage their use. We will instruct volunteers on our expectations that they remain socially distant from the swimmers and techniques on how to do so. While we do understand concerns about the ability to maintain social distancing, we have already set controls by limiting the number of on-deck volunteers and setting up the positions of the Officials to do so.

ALL PARENTS:

Please make sure your swimmer knows who their tent parent is before you leave them and that they know not to leave without their tent parent knowing. Once your swimmer is finished for the day please do not leave without checking out with your child’s tent parent.

6 and Under swimmers should be picked up after the backstroke. If you are working second shift please be sure to make arrangements for them to sit in a tent with an older sibling.

Please call or text Coach Nina if you have a sick swimmer and will be unable to attend. Please also contact Chris George at 281-636-6680 if you are unable to fulfill your volunteer spot.

ROADIES: Arrive at 6:15 am. Parents will be there to help set up tents at 6:15. It is imperative that you are there on time.

TENT PARENTS: Please see Jennifer Milano upon checking in. Report to your tent no later than 6:45 am. Jennifer will give you a clipboard with your age group swimmer list and a sharpie. Please check that all swimmers are accounted for and notify Jennifer if anyone is missing. Mark your swimmer using the sharpie for their individual swimming events. When an event for your age group is called, you will need to make sure all swimmers make it to the ready bench. Be ready to receive them at the end of their event and walk them back to the tent.

OFFICIALS: Please report to Jason Mangold

TIMERS & SCRIBES: Meet by the Ready Benches at 7:45 am.We understand that it is human nature to want to assist a swimmer who is struggling to exit the pool; however, due to liability issues, we must never do so. This is especially important with social distancing expectations. We should instruct swimmers who are struggling to move along the edge of the pool to the shallow area to exit.

COMPUTERS: Report to the main pool entrance after getting yourself and your swimmer checked in.

CONCESSIONS: Report to the concessions stand after getting yourself and your swimmer checked in.

READY BENCH: When you hear the announcement for Timers/Scribes, please report to the ready bench area.

SANITATION: Please report to Rebecca Waterman. Text: 713-201-6008

**Reminder: the kiddie pool and the shallow semi-circle of the main pool are off limits to everyone during practice and meets.**
