Is your child enjoying the sport of swimming? Why end the fun now?

 

If your child has enjoyed summer swim team and you would like to learn more about year round swimming in the triangle area, meet at the pool Monday, July 21st from 7pm-730pm.

As a parent of year round swimmers, I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey with our children.  We have spent 10 years in year round swimming and we are familiar with several of the local programs.  I can give you a parent's perspective on what is involved in supporting your child in year round swimming.  It has been a very positive experience for our children.

I will have information packets from all of the local teams at the pool on Monday July, 21st from 7pm-730pm.

See you there!

Paige Williams

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!
