Parking and Swimmer Drop Off:
Cary City Meet at Scottish Hills Swim Club, Cary, NC
Directions: https://goo.gl/maps/b4q4T
There will be close to 1500 swimmers at each session at this
meet so plan on there being traffic before each session. Please plan your
timing appropriately, late swimmers make for nervous swimmers and nervous
swimmers are not always having fun or swimming fast! Please arrive via
the Tarbert Rd. entrance off of Cary Pkwy (be advised that Cary Pkwy at Old
Apex is closed). I recommend that you take Lake Pine to Cary
Pkwy. Swimmer drop off is on pool side of Tarbert Rd ONLY.
Parking is throughout the neighborhood. Please do not block driveways,
mailboxes or fire hydrants. Cary Police will be patrolling-Plan on
walking a few blocks from your car to our tent area.
What to bring: Bring chairs or blankets to sit
on under the tents. Bring snacks, the team will provide some small
snacks, water and Gatorade. Games are also a great idea to pass the time
between events. Food truck concessions, heat sheets ($5.00), and t-shirts
($12.00) will be available for purchase at the meet as well. They are
accepting cash and credit cards this year.
Preparation: We will continue with the “Super Sea
Dragon” Theme for the Cary City Meet. So if you have any “Super Sea
Dragon, caps, masks or posters from Tuesday night’s meet- please bring them.
We want to show off our Sea Dragon Spirit, there is a team Spirit Award!
Make sure your swimmer gets plenty of rest the night before.
Let your swimmer know that they will likely not see their
coaches before they swim, but as they get on the blocks they should look for
the Sea Dragon Coaches for a big thumbs up and cheer. After they exit the
pool, they should go to see the coaches BEFORE they return to our tent area.
The meet officials are also recommending that we put the
swimmers Last Name, first initial on the back of the swimmers right
shoulder. This will help the kid pushers keep 1500 kids moving and help
the meet run more efficiently. You do NOT need to put their swimmer
number on their arm. We will have extra sharpies at the tent to right names
on shoulders.
Free online heat sheets are available now. You
may download and print (http://www.swimteam.scottishhills.org)
if you would like or purchase them at the meet for $5.00.
Viewing the heat sheet in advance will allow you to see your
child’s entries and seed time. Use this information to get them excited
about their swims! Also note, per the meet officials, there are NO
changes that can be made to entries at this time.
Tent City: When you arrive at the pool make
your way to the Sea Dragon tent. There
will be a sea of tents in the grassy area. Ours will be situated in the
back corner behind the volleyball courts. Do NOT go on the pool deck,
until our warm up time. We will go to warm ups as a team and we all need
to meet at the Sea Dragon tent first.
Our tent will be decorated with posters and blue and green
decorations. Bring your Sea Dragon spirit
wear, your Sea Dragon Pride and fast swimming!
Parent Volunteers: Thank you for being a part
of the Cary City Championship Meet. As you know it takes a village to run
a swim meet, so we will be taking turns manning our assigned volunteer
positions and helping the kids get to the clerk of course. Carol
Medins will be our morning session coordinator. If you have questions
at the meet please see Carol. Her cell phone contact is
919-302-3648. Paige Williams will be our afternoon session
coordinator. Her cell phone number is 919-523-0424.
Go SEA DRAGONS!
