Racer Families,

We are swimming the Harrington Grove Stingrays tomorrow, June 12th. Please arrive no later than 5:15pm.

PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR THIS MEET ONLY, WE WILL HAVE DIFFERENT SWIMMER NUMBERS. The attached document contains the swimmer numbers listed in alphabetical order. Once you find your swimmer's number on the list, make sure that you write 3 digits on your swimmer's arm. For example, Ellie Albert is listed as number 85. The number written on her arm should be 085. Please write this number on the upper part of both arms. If you have kids that are ages 10 and under, please write their name on their right shoulder blade. It will help our timers and kid pushers do their jobs.

Why the change for this meet only?

Harrington Grove is letting us use their new timing system that will capture times using an electronic device. We will not need pencil and paper in order to record times. There will be a meeting at 5:30pm in their clubhouse that will be very important for our timers to attend. Their system should be easy to use, but it will need to be taught to our volunteers.

Meet Information

Directions:
Harrington Grove Swim Club 12201 New Leesville Road, Raleigh NC, 27613

Parking:
They reserve our parking lot for our visiting team. In the event that our parking lot is filled, please park along New Leesville Blvd.

Seating:
The left side of the cabana and the area in front of concessions is reserved for Greenway Club. They remove their deck chairs to make more room for the crowd. We encourage you to bring your own chairs as theirs will be somewhat limited.

Concessions:
They will have COUSINS MAINE LOBSTER food truck just outside main entrance as their meal provider. Inside their concession stand, they will be offering Schiano's pizza and normal pool concession stand fare.

Warm Ups:
Greenway Club will have the pool at 5:30 for warm-ups.

Pool:
Their pool has 8, 25-yard lanes and we will swim in lanes 2, 4, and 6 for main events and additionally lane 8 in subsequent heats. We will fill empty lanes during heats to speed up the meet. If we have enough swimmers we like to field a 4th exhibition relay team in lane 1 to allow more kids to swim relays. If you have a 4th relay, in any event, feel free to put them in lane 8. Our starter will make note that lanes 1 and 8 are exhibition only.

The Meet:
We will do our best to start promptly at 6:00 and keep the meet moving throughout the evening. We would like to have our TSA reps, Timers, ST judges, and Place judges meeting at 5:45 inside of the clubhouse. Please enter the meeting through the doors behind the swim blocks. It's very hectic on the pool deck and sometimes difficult to hear the PA announcer signal the start of the meeting so if you can inform your timers and judges to meet at 5:45 that would be great.

Volunteers:
Check in with Beth Sciaudone when you arrive.

*A reminder to all that this is a TSA event, no alcohol is permitted.

If you have not already done so, please let Coach Shawn know if your swimmer will not be in attendance at tomorrow's meet.

See you all for some fast swimming tomorrow night!

Go RACERS!
