IMPORTANT Meet Information vs. Apex Breakers

Apex Breakers Meet Information
July 1st, 2014 @ 6 p.m.

This week we swim the Sea Dragons at the Lila Jones Swim Club (Apex Breakers pool) (address and directions below). The Apex Breakers have approximately 222 swimmers. They are ranked 9th, Division 3 in the league (Scotts Mill is ranked 6th, division 2), and their record is 1-1.   The Apex Breakers pool has 6 lanes.

Meet format: Apex Breakers do NOT swim their 6 & Under age group first - they follow traditional meet format. Therefore, we will be swimming our 6 & Under age group in normal sequence and rotation with the other age groups. They have a large team so they will usually allow "dive-overs" to keep the meet running smoothly.

All swimmers need to be at the pool by 5 pm, with sunscreen already applied.

The meet will start promptly at 6 pm. Please keep your swimmers in the dragon lair during the meet so that the kid pushers can find them.

Swimmers should wear their team suits and team caps. If you do not a have a Sea Dragon cap, wear no cap or a PLAIN cap (i.e. no other team names -- year-round team or high school -- on your cap).

Parents and spectators need to bring folding chairs. Due to limited space, no chairs are allowed in the dragon lair, except for parent volunteers.

Please allow our kid pushers and clerk of course crew to line up and seat your swimmers for their races. Do not walk your swimmer to the chairs behind the blocks as this confuses things and causes congestion.

Also remind your swimmers that it is good swimming etiquette to stay in the pool after a race until all the swimmers in the heat are finished. And handshakes and high-fives for the swimmers in the adjacent lanes are also way cool.
There will be a parent/coaches relay if time allows that will take place after the breast stroke, weather permitting. Please let Heather Retammel know if you are interested.

Visitor Seating

We have a visitors section reserved for the Sea Dragons. As you walk into the pool area, this section will be located at the far side of the pool deck.
