Hello families!

Champs is in two days, and we hope your swimmers are getting very excited. We have received info from VPSU today and wanted to forward on to you all ASAP. Here are some highlights -

Volunteers: We will need to supply two timers for AM and one timer for PM. Also for the AM session is one Deck Marshall and one to assist parking. Please see the attachment with jobs we have already been assigned (i.e, the meet cannot run without these roles filled). Not listed are Stroke and Turn officials, which Morgan Kader has already volunteered to do (PM session). Please email us before Saturday to let us know if you can time, assist with parking, or serve as deck marshal. 

Warm-Ups: We’ve been assigned Lanes 3/4 for Warm-ups starting at 0800 for AM and same lanes starting at 1200 for the afternoon. We’ve been assign one block in the parking area that is supposed to allow us to pitch Two 10x10 canopies. The Meadow and Stanhope families have agreed to each supply one of these tents. 

For more info regarding food, deck setup, and Champs spectator policies, please read below and see attachments.
