Volunteers: Thank you SO much to everyone that has signed up! There are still a few positions open. Use Job Sign-Ups to sign-up.

You can check the “Volunteer Position Descriptions” page to see what that job is or contact Candace at [email protected]

Friday Night Set-Up: We will start setting up at 7:00pm. Thank you to everyone that has volunteered to help! I know it said 6:00pm on the sign-up description but I’ve changed it to 7:00pm because there are things we try not to do until closer to the pool closing time of 8:00. Hopefully the hour difference is OK. If not, just let me know.

Saturday Morning Set-Up: There is still plenty to be done on Saturday morning and we don’t really have a volunteer sign-up for that but if you are able to help out feel free to jump in. I am hoping to have lists posted around of what needs to be done.

Weather: In case you haven’t been watching, we are expecting high’s around 100 tomorrow so dress and plan accordingly!   Bring lots of water and shade!

Meet Prep: If all goes well (and I’m not jinxing anything) this should be a fairly quick meet. I’m sure you’re all pros by now but you can use the "Meet Preparation" page as a reminder for what you might want to bring. Be sure to remember extra towels and goggles.

Arrive by: 6:15am (or earlier)

Warm ups: 6:30am

Meet begins: 7:30am

Seating Area: Dam West will be sitting in the grassy area on the north side (shallow end) of the pool. There is a tree that will provide some shade but the rest of the area will be sunny and HOT so bring tents or canopies or umbrellas. FYI: the grassy area where the grass meets the concrete deck will become a swamp so anyone sitting there will want to be in a chair, not on the ground. All of the pool lounge chairs will be put away so please bring your own chairs.

Parking: As you all know we have a very small parking lot. If you’re driving and get there before I can get the Reserved Parking signs out - please leave the 3 parking spots in the farthest SE corner open. (Closest to the playground.)

Concessions: We will have breakfast burritos and other breakfast items available as well as lots of drinks and snacks. There will be hot dogs and hamburgers available for lunch. Cash is easiest but we do have the means to accept a credit card. If your swimmer has Dolphin Dollars from this season or past seasons they can use them here. They are worth 25 cents each. (Most things are $1+.)

Playground: Children should never be there unattended.

Watch and Listen for your swimmer's events so they are in heating on time. The Heating Numbers are in the baby pool area. Remember, there will be a yellow number behind the officials that will tell you which event is currently in the pool.

DO NOT leave early before the end of the meet unless you first notify Coach Emilie.

Contact Coach Emilie ASAP if for any reason your swimmer cannot make the meet! [email protected] or (970) 376-5362.

WE NEED PHOTOS! We are still needing lots more pictures for our slideshow so if you happen to capture any great shots, please upload them to:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SPzLrlOnG7uXwDaw41moHHPmUY1YS3gu?usp=sharing

Or email them to Alisa Becerra at:[email protected]

(I don't know why my computer keeps defaulting this part to this GIANT font and not letting me change it.  I guess it knows it's important so you better upload those photos!)  ;)

Theme: The coaches would like to remind all the swimmers that Saturday’s theme is “Rock Star!” 

Carpooling for Prelims:  If your kiddo is needing a ride to Prelims or if you have space for another kiddo or two, please let me know and we'll start planning for Mon and Tues.

Alright, that's all I can think of for now!
