MEET DECLARATION

Thank you to all the parents that went in and signed their swimmers up for the meet. As always though, if there are any last-minute changes, please email us at [email protected] and [email protected] or find Ashley or Tami at the meet. If your swimmer needs to leave the meet unexpectedly, please let us know as this causes an issue for our relays if your swimmer listed to swim in a relay.

MEET INFORMATION:

STROKES

Seven Oaks has requested, due to our team sizes that all swimmers swim 3 strokes instead of 4. Coach Sophia has gone through the line-ups and chosen which strokes each swimmer will swim tomorrow, so nothing is needed from parents. We just wanted everyone to be aware so when the heat sheets are released there isn't any confusion.

VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED

We still have the following positions open for Tuesday night's meet at Seven Oaks. Please sign up in Swimtopia if you can help out. We request families volunteer at a minimum for 3 shifts per season. We appreciate all our parents that do more than the required minimum!

1st Shift

• 1 kid pusher
• 1 Order of Finish Judge
• 3 Timers

2nd Shift

• 1 girls Clerk of Course
• 3 kid pushers
• 1 Order of Finish Judge
• 5 Timers

MEET THEME: 4th of July!!

POOL INFO FROM SEVEN OAKS:

Address: 2500 Howard Road, Raleigh, NC 27613

Pool: The competition pool has 10 lanes and is 25 yards long. Swimmers are not allowed to swim in any of the other pools at the club and should remain downstairs unless using the restroom or snack bar. 

Parking: The visiting team should park and enter through the gate at the lower pool (closest to the brown garages and farthest away from the big water slide). Parking spots immediately outside the gate may fill up quickly, but visitors can park anywhere in the Seven Oaks parking lot or on the street and walk to the lower gate entrance. This entrance will lead directly into the competition pool area.

Seating: We have half of the pool deck dedicated to the visiting team. When you enter through the lower gate, head towards the left. Your team may set up their own chairs and tents, but there will also be some tables and chairs for your usage. 

Restrooms: The restrooms are located at the upper pool. You have to walk up the stairs and across the upper pool to use them.

Concessions: The snack bar is located at the upper pool. They serve hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, hamburgers, soda, chips, and more. The snack bar takes cash or credit cards.
