Scotts Mill SeaDragons versus Cary Park SeaDragons Meet Information
Tuesday, June 16th, 2015
We swim at HOME this Tuesday against the Cary Park SeaDragons. We
will run main events with 6 lanes, and heats with 8 lanes. Cary Park
has approximately 296 swimmers. They are ranked 5th in Division 2
(Scotts Mill is ranked 3rd in Division 1). This is an OUT OF
division meet. Throughout the season, we swim 3 IN division meets, and
3 OUT OF division meets.
ALL SWIMMERS need to be at the pool by 4:30 pm with sunscreen already
applied. Please DO NOT pre-mark your swimmer's back or shoulders. The
coaches and/or volunteers will help mark your swimmers with a set of
letters and numbers to help identify them for scoring purposes.
Please have your swimmer at the pool promptly to help this process run
smoothly and allow plenty of time for your swimmer to warm up and
prepare for the meet.
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.
Cary Park would like to follow traditional meet order. The meet will
begin with the Medley Relay, followed by all ages of freestyle, then
all ages of backstroke, etc. (i.e. 6 and unders do NOT swim first at
this meet). 6 and unders may leave after they have swum breaststroke,
but parent volunteers must stay until the end.
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). If you would
like to purchase a team cap, contact apparel chair Sue Concordia
(nicksanson@mindspring.com). Don’t forget apparel will be sold at this
home meet so bring your checkbooks!
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.
Please leave the designated visitor seating area for our visiting team.
Parents and spectators should 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.
Our HOA has requested that we do not allow our swimmers to write on
their backs with permanent markers. The marker transfers to our deck
chairs (not to mention your leather car seats) and leaves a terrible
mess for our clean up crew.
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. Remember, we were the first
SeaDragons, let’s show who has the BEST sportsmanship and leadership
around!!!!
We will be doing coaches and parents relays. Please let Carol Medins
(carolmedins@gmail.com) know ASAP if you are interested in
participating in the parents relay.
Volunteer Assignments

Parking
Due to our LIMITED parking, please walk, bike or carpool up to the

and cool down after a long fun night! Can’t wait to see you there!

cleared it with Coach Kevin. There is no practice Tuesday evening.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST! Let’s show our SeaDragon spirit and welcome the

decorations are welcome to dress up our dragon lairs, fences
surrounding the pool, walkways, anywhere it is safe to hang
decorations and show our spirit! Come dressed to celebrate and cheer
