Wait... already?! How is this our last home meet? We blinked and somehow made it here.

This week, the Gators take on the Kingswood Klams. Let's give them something to klam up about! 

📣 Please keep reading for all the important meet details below. 📣

Athlete Arrival

• Swimmers arrive by 4:30 PM for warm-ups.
• Swim deck setup is for swimmers ONLY. If your child is old enough, we prefer that they stay on deck with the coaches during the meet. If they sit in the field with you, please pay extra close attention to events information and when the coaches are calling for athletes.
• Clerk of Course - Our clerk of course area is TIGHT and it can get chaotic with too many people hanging around. If you accompany your swimmer to clerk of course, please do not stay once they are in a row. Of course, we understand if there are tears, but generally, please do the good ol' daycare drop and goooo.
• Please write event/heat/lane info on your swimmer’s hand!
• Please encourage your Gators to drink LOTS and LOTS of water throughout the day tomorrow and Monday.

Spectator Tent/Chair Setup

• Parents and spectators will set up in the field.
• Do NOT place tents directly against the fence—we need a walkway. If you do, we’ll kindly ask you to move.
• Our team needs access to the outlets for gear so please bring battery-operated fans only.
• Please do not set up tents before 12PM!

Gator Grill

One of the best parts of Monday meets? You don’t have to cook dinner! Julie Grimm and her awesome concessions crew will be ready to feed you.

Volunteers

• Please check in at the scoring table at the clubhouse or find Jessica Brown to sign in.
• Grill Masters: Arrive by 4:15 PM.
• Second session: Jobs switch after breaststroke (event 30). Please be ready to step in!

Additional Reminders

• Trash: Please pick up allllll trash before heading out (including your swimmer's area on deck).
• Sunscreen & Bug Spray: You’ll need it. You’ll want it.
• Bathrooms: Please use the outside bathrooms, unless you’re volunteering to clean the inside ones Tuesday morning.
