Hello Gators!

We have our first away meet of the season. Let's all swim fast and get loud cheering for our teammates! We had some great team spirit at our meet vs. Firethorne and it was a close meet and we cheered loud. Let's see if we can be louder! We will be swimming at the Cinco Ranch North Lake pool at the corner of Fry and Mason, see attachment. This is a morning meet and at 6:30 am the pool opens for set up!

Few Key Things to Remember for Away Meets!

Please make sure your kids know to stay with their specific tent. We are working to run a fast efficient meet so we can end as early in the day as possible. If kids leave the tent area they may miss their swim.

Bring folding chairs for your kids and adults. If you want a place to sit you will need to bring your own chair.

Please see the attached pool layout. If you are part of the set up crew take a good look at it. It will help you understand where everything needs to go prior to meet start.

Remember there is no parking directly in the parking lot in front of the pool. This is drop off only. Parking is at Beck Jr High across the street from the pool area - please see attached map.

Check your volunteer assignments! We cannot put on a successful meet without support from our volunteers. If you have questions, contact Vicki, our volunteer guru! If you check in for a volunteer spot you need to show up. No shows create delays to an already long swim meet. We had people check in and not show up to their duties. Reminder this is grounds for dismissal from the team along with us collecting your volunteer fees. We cannot have a great swim season without amazing volunteers.

CRNL will have concessions including breakfast and lunch items.

Our meet against CRNL will take place on Saturday June 7, 2024 and our theme is MINIONS!! 

Wear your Gator gear.

Please show CRNL our best respect and sportsmanship. Remind your swimmers to stay in their lane until everyone is finished. And make sure they say "good swim!" Our coaches will remind everyone as well. Thank you for your support in this effort.

REMINDERS FOR OUR PARENTS:

DO NOT let your swimmer wander around the meet-especially the 6 and unders.

Your swimmer MUST stay in their assigned lanes or their time & score may not be counted.

DO NOT leave before the conclusion of your swimmers' races and check out with team parent before leaving the meet.

All Teams need to set up outside the pool area. Spectators must rotate into the pool area then back to the tents after the races.
