Greetings, Rapids Superheroes!

Our first swim meet is coming up on June 10th, and we have a lot to cover before our team springs into action! I know this message is a bit long, but every hero needs their mission briefing, so please read all the way to the end.

First, we have a team Scavengar Hunt on June 8th! It's always a great time and we will serve pizza. Please sign up as soon as possible so we can make sure we buy enough pizza!

🦸♀️ SUPERHERO MEET NIGHT 🦸♂️

Our first meet will be Superhero Themed, so get ready to bring your super spirit and team pride!

Meet Start Time: 6:00 PM sharp

Important Timing:

• The pool will close to the public at 4:00 PM for setup.
• Gates will open for Rapids families at 4:45 PM.
• Please do not arrive before 4:45 PM unless you're willing to help with some superhero-strength lifting and setup duties!

🏕️ Team Headquarters

The Rapids team area will be located on the cabanas side of the pool.

Please:

• Do not set up chairs on the shallow end of the pool.
• Do not sit under the cabanas.

Those areas will be reserved for our command centers:

• Concessions
• Data Team
• Clerk of Course

🦸 Volunteer Heroes Needed

All volunteers should check in with Jill Wallace upon arrival.

🚨 Mission Critical: Sign In Your Swimmer!

Every superhero must be registered for their mission!

If your swimmer is not signed into the meet, they will not be able to compete.

The absolute deadline to sign in is Monday evening.

⚠️ League Rules & Safety Reminders

• The kiddie pool is off-limits to everyone except lifeguards.
• The concession stand will be open and accepts both cash and cards.
• Want to help fuel our superheroes? Please consider donating to the concession stand.

📸 No Photos Behind the Blocks

This rule is extremely important.

No photos or videos may be taken from behind the starting blocks. Anyone violating this rule may be required to:

1. Show proof that the photos/videos have been deleted.
2. Leave the meet.

Please help us keep all swimmers safe and comply with league policies.

🦸 Superhero Survival Tips

• Use a Sharpie to write your swimmer's events on their arm. This helps speed things along at the Clerk of Course.
• Pack extra towels.
• Bring sweatshirts and sweatpants for your swimmers.
• Once the sun goes down, temperatures can drop quickly and our superheroes can get chilly between events.

Thank you for helping make our first meet a super success! We can't wait to see all of our Rapids heroes in action on June 10th.

Go Rapids! 💙🏊♂️⚡
