Good afternoon Lightning families!

Our meet tomorrow is a HOME meet. We will be swimming against the Longlake Marlins.

Here are a couple of reminders:

1. If your child was swimmer of the week last week, please return your sign tomorrow!
2. On Wednesday, June 26, we will have our end of season party at the pool. Giorgios will be catering a delicious meal. Please click HERE to RSVP for this event. We need to make sure we have enough food for all. Also, we always have a parent relay, where our parents swim against the coaches. The parents win every year, and it’s always so fun and very competitive. If you would like to swim in our parent relay, please email us to get on the parent relay team!
3. Finally, our last event of the season will be the ASA Championship at Georgia Tech on Friday, June 28 at 9:30. The cost to participate in this meet is $48. If you are participating in this meet and have not done so already, please go ahead and submit your payment for the meet by tomorrow. You can pay by cash, check, or venmo @lflswimteam. 

• Now for meet information:

1. Just a reminder that once coaches have lineups complete, you can see your child’s events in the swimtopia App. This probably won’t be available until tomorrow afternoon in the app.
2. Swimmers need to arrive at 3:45 to begin the markup process. All swimmers need to have their arms marked with the Event, Heat, Lane, and Stroke. If you have swimmers that are 6 and under, 7-8, or 9-10, please also write their name on their upper left shoulder. If you need help with this, please make sure to arrive early so a coach or bullpen parent can help mark your child's arm.
3. Warm-ups will start promptly at 4:15. Our team will warm-up for 30 minutes, and then Longlake will start their warmup at 4:45. The Sparks meet will begin at 5:15 sharp. (Sparks families – you do not need to arrive with your swimmer until 5:00.)
4. Our theme for this week is a Taylor Swift themed meet. Join us in celebrating being in our “Swim Team Era.”
5. Please remember parking will be a challenge. Make sure you follow all parking signs in the neighborhood. Car pool, walk, golf cart if you can.
6. Don’t forget to bring cash for the concession stand. (Venmo charges us an extra fee.) New this year, we will have barbecue sandwiches from a Lake Forest family for sale. We will also have pizza, burgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, candy.
7. If you have signed up to volunteer, please check in at the lower level of our clubhouse by 4:30. If you volunteered as meet set-up, you need to arrive by 3:00 PM. If you signed up as a bullpen parent, you need to arrive by 3:45 to help with marking arms. Timers need to arrive before 5:00, as we will have a timer meeting in the lower level of the clubhouse at 5:00, when our league official arrives.

I think that’s all for now. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Looking forward to tomorrow! Go Lightning!!
