The REAL Sea Dragons vs the Sea Dragons

Cary Park Meet Information
June 24, 2014, 6 p.m.
 

This week we swim the Sea Dragons at Cary Park (address and directions below). Cary Park has approximately 232 swimmers. They are ranked 3rd, division 2, in the league (Scotts Mill is ranked 6th, division 2), and their record is 1-0.  Cary Park pool has 6 lanes. The REAL Sea Dragons will show them how it is done!

Meet format:  Cary Park will run the Medley Relay first, then ALL of the 6&U events, followed by the traditional meet format.   6 and unders may leave after they have swum breaststroke, but parent volunteers must stay until the end.  (Note: Kid pushers should begin lining up the medley relays immediately following warm-up)
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).

Dive Overs: In an effort to speed up the meet, all 11 & up events will have dive overs. Please remind your swimmers to remain in the pool until the next heat has started. This applies for the freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly events.

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.
 
Visitor Seating

Our seating area is the side of the pool closest to the entrance. We can use the space any way we want, but please we need make sure to leave room so our swimmers can line up and get to the blocks.  We will be bringing our tents for some shade for our swimmers in the lair.
