Castle Pines Village @ Dam West
Dam West
Start: 7:30 AM
Warm-up: 6:30 AM
End: 12:30 PM
(estimated)
Arrive by: 6:15am Warm-Ups: 6:30am Meet Starts: 7:30am PARKING: The 2 parking spots closest to the playground are RESERVED for VISTING PARENT REP & COACH. If you arrive before we get the pylons out, please don’t park in those 2 spots! You can park anywhere in the neighborhood but please be courteous to our neighbors and don’t block any driveways. Also, do not park around the island entrance at Nome. You can also park at Polton Elementary. By road, it’s on the other side of the neighborhood but it’s a quick 6-minute walk through the greenbelt. DAM WEST SEATING AREA: We will sit in the grassy area on the north side of the pool. It can get pretty crowded so please feel free to sit on the outside of the fence as well - wherever you are comfortable - although please stay on the north side of the pool – we need to be able to find your swimmer(s)! There is a tree with some shade but please bring your own tents or umbrellas for shade because the rest of that area is straight up sun! The lounge chairs will be put away so please bring your own chairs. Also, FYI, where the grass meets the concrete will become a wet, soggy marsh so you will definitely want a chair to sit there! MEET CHECK-IN: There will be a check-in person and volunteer coordinator at the front gate to check you and your swimmer in. Please have your swimmer's events on their arm and their last name on their back written in sharpie. They can help you at check-in if you still need help. MEET PROGRAM: Attached are the Meet Program, Individual Entry List and List of the Combined Events. I recommend printing out a copy of the Meet Program, highlighting your swimmers and marking it up with the combinations so you can follow along and see where we are and what’s coming up next. A copy of the Meet Program will be posted on a giant white board hanging on the fence near our seating area. It will be facing inward towards the pool. It will not be marked up with the combinations. RESULTS: Results will be posted on a white board hanging on the north fence, outside of the pool, facing the parking lot. Our meet manager will be posting results asap after the end of each event. (IE: They will post them after the last 15-18 event of each stroke.) PLEASE CHECK YOUR RESULTS OFTEN!! We had a LOT of problems last week at Hills West and it is extremely difficult to change things once the meet is over. Check your swimmer(s)’ times and make sure everything looks reasonable. If you have any questions about them, notify Coach Emilie or me, ASAP. Ideally, we want to respond to any issues within 30 minutes. INFORMATION MEETINGS: All information meetings will be held at 7:10 am- please listen for announcements for exact locations and times in case they change. All meetings are for BOTH SHIFTSso regardless of your shift, please show up.
FLY-OVERS: Please remind your swimmer(s) that we will be doing fly-overs. What is a fly-over? It means at the end of the Freestyle, Butterfly, Breast and IM’s, the swimmers will stay in the water, close to the wall and to the side of the dive block. They should remain quiet and still while the next event begins. Once the next event has entered the pool the Referee will instruct them to exit the pool quickly. (Fly-overs are not used for Backstroke or Relays.) CONCESSIONS: There will be breakfast burritos, pop tarts and mini packs of donuts for breakfast choices. There will be hot dogs and hamburgers available for lunch as well as lots of drinks and snacks. Cash is preferred and easiest but we do have the means to accept a credit card via Square. If your swimmer has Dolphin Dollars from this season or past seasons they can use them here. They are worth 25 cents each. THEME: Barbie CLEAN-UP: ANY help after the meet is GREATLY appreciated! I know we all want to go home after a long, hot meet but there are still things to be done.
We always want to leave any pool area as nice, or nicer, than when we got there. (This goes for away meets too.) Please and Thank you! Contact Coach Emilie ASAP if for any reason your swimmer cannot make the meet! [email protected] or (970) 376-5362. Where to find help: Jessica Johnson can be found in the Heating Area. Evelyn Carino can be found at the DJ Booth next to the bathrooms. Toni can be found most often in the Officials area next to the lifeguard stand. If I’m not there, just wait. I’ll be back. 😊 Parent Relay: The parents have had so much fun swimming relays at the end of the meet that we’re going to try it ourselves! I’ve created a Sign-Up genius for anyone that is interested. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054FABA92AA4F94-50191356-parent |
