Marlins:

I attached the "Meet Program" and "Event Entry" documents for our home meet Monday 6/10/19 where we’re hosting Whitmoor.  A reminder that everybody should be at the pool at about 5:00 PM, warmups are at 5:30, and the swim meet starts at 6:00!  PLEASE write your child's events on their hand PRIOR to arriving at the meet!  There are a lot of kids, so please help the coaches out and handle this at home if possible.

For example, I’ll use Glenda Hanstein’s daughter Claire since she’s in a relay:

• E5     H1   L4           100-IM
• E17   H1   L4   P4   200-Free Relay
• E61   H1   L4   P3   200-Medley Relay
• E107  H1  L4          100 Free

NOTE: I put the position (P1 through P4) that she's swimming in her relay, this way she knows the swimmer order - and the stroke she's swimming in the Medley Relay!

Medley Relay order: Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, then Freestyle. Using Claire’s example above, I know that since she is swimming third (P3), she will be swimming the butterfly relay leg.

Both the 'Meet Program' and the 'Event Entry' documents provides your child their Event, Heat, Lane, and Position (where applicable) in advance of the swim meet.  It's your discretion if you want to include the event descriptions too as I did above, you know your child best so write it on their arm too if you think they might need it.  I also encourage folks to print and share your copy of the program as needed.  There might be some last-minute lane reassignments by the bullpen - so please be flexible!

Many volunteer job functions have changed since we've transitioned to automated swim meets.  You can select this link and review a high level job description for all the volunteer jobs and I recommend that everybody at least do a quick review.  There's also a "Swim Meet Checklist" located at the bottom of the page for those that might find it helpful.

If you have further questions, you can contact Glenda or me, and we'll try to help!

Let’s have a fun meet and GO MARLINS!!!
