Good afternoon! 

Today, we take on the Calhoun Blue Barracudas for our Hawaiian-themed home meet. 

Warm-Ups: Warm-ups will begin at 4:30 pm. Please have your swimmer on the Cumberland pool deck and ready to swim by that time. Attached are pictures of one of our seasoned swimmers, Tori, showing how to get ready for a meet:

1. Write your swimmer's event number, heat number, lane number, and event name on their forearm.

2. Write your swimmer's name and age on their shoulder.

3. Add some fun sayings to motivate your swimmer and terrify the competition. ;-)

Volunteering: Please check in with Mike Abraham and Nicole Redmon when you arrive at the meet to confirm your volunteer assignment for this evening. We are asking for anyone who volunteers to set up to arrive by 4:15 pm and greeters to arrive by 4:30 pm. Parent volunteers are vital for our team. Thank you for stepping up!

Supplies: Don't forget a swimsuit (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. Our concession stand will be open for business!

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. 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. Tonight is our Hawaiian theme night so come dressed for a luau and ready to cheer on our team. If possible, please stay through the end of the meet to uplift all of our swimmers (and the Calhoun swimmers too!). We can't wait to see you tonight.

Go Currents!!!
