Dear Riptide Families,

We’re looking forward to another exciting meet tomorrow evening as we travel to Walnut Creek!

Attached you will find:

• Final Meet Entries
• Walnut Creek Meet Information – please take a few minutes to read through this document, as it contains important information regarding parking, team setup areas, concessions, heat sheets, and other meet-day logistics.

Please also double-check the final meet entries to ensure you are familiar with your swimmer’s events and any relay assignments. Last week we had MANY no-shows. Please help your swimmer stay aware of their events and report to the ready bench/blocks on time so they don’t miss their opportunity to compete.

Meet Day Schedule – Tuesday

• Arrive by 5:00 PM to allow plenty of time for your swimmer to get settled and ready for warm-ups.
• 5:15–5:30 PM – 10 & Under Warm-Ups
• 5:30–5:45 PM – 11 & Up Warm-Ups

Swim Cap Reminder

As a reminder, all swimmers are required to wear a swim cap while competing. This is both a team policy and an HOA requirement. Please make sure your swimmer brings a cap to the meet. If your swimmer needs a replacement cap, please let a coach know as soon as possible.

Heat & Hydration Reminder

It’s expected to be another warm evening, so please make sure your swimmer comes prepared. Have them begin hydrating well before arriving at the pool, bring a full water bottle (or two), and pack a few light snacks to keep their energy up throughout the meet. A little preparation goes a long way on hot meet days!
