Warm-Ups: Warm-ups will begin at 5:10 pm (the meet starts at 6:00). Please have your swimmer on the pool deck and ready to swim by that time.

Directions: The Ridgeside Dolphin's pool is at 300 Shepherd Ave., Chattanooga, TN 37411. To get there from Shallowford Rd., take Ridgeside Rd. You will turn onto Shepherd Ave. just past 13 Ridgeside Rd.

Parking: The pool only has a few parking spaces, and we have been asked not to park on the road. So, if the official spaces are full, please keep going past the pool, turn right on Shallowford Rd. and take an immediate right on Hilldale. You can parallel park on Hilldale or Ridgeside roads then take the wood and concrete walkway (near the top of the hill) to the pool.

Volunteering: Please check in with Mike Abraham and Nicole Redmon when you arrive at the meet to confirm your volunteer assignment for this evening. Parent volunteers are vital for our team. Thank you for stepping up!

Supplies: Don't forget a swim suit (tie-back suits and suits advertising other teams are not allowed), a swim cap (plain, Cumberland, or no cap), goggles, a towel, and a water bottle. Ridgeside has a great concession stand, so you can buy food at the meet or bring your own.

Heat Sheet: The heat sheet and a list of events by swimmer are attached to this email and are available on the swim meet schedule on our website. The heat sheet contains all of the information about which events your swimmer will be participating in tonight and which lanes they will be swimming in. Some of you may find that your swimmers are swimming up (participating in events for an age group older than their own). Summer swimming is a team sport, and we have carefully placed all swimmers in events to maximize points for our team and to give everyone as many chances to swim as possible.

Team Spirit: Most of all, we want our swimmers to have fun, swim hard, and enjoy supporting each other. If possible, please stay through the end of the meet to cheer on all of our swimmers (and Ridgeside's swimmers too!!!). We can't wait to see you tonight. Go Cumberland!!!
