Hello, Pirate Families! 

First, we want to say a huge thank you for showing up and jumping right into things tonight! We know that this is a very busy time of the year with kids wrapping up school, but we hope that you found the mock meet to be helpful and hope that both you and your kids feel a little more prepared for our first meet on Thursday!  

Now that you've had the opportunity to try out some of the volunteer jobs available at the meet, its time to sign up for job shifts!  If you haven't already, please log into swimtopia and sign yourself up for a shift. As a reminder, SAIL relies entirely on volunteers so the expectation is that each parent will fulfil one volunteer shift (either the first or second half ) at every meet your swimmer is participating in.  If you have completed a Stroke and Turn Certification, please find a open "Stroke and Turn Shadow" shift.

Kindly be sure to sign up for a job shift by tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon.  If you have any questions or concerns about what to sign up for, please don't hesitate to let us know! 

Just to reiterate the information about the upcoming meet (because I know I need all the reminders I can get this time of year!):  

Meet @ Wellington Green on Thursday 5/22- 105 Bridgeport Drive Greenville SC 29615

What to Bring: 

• Goggles, swim cap (having back up pairs of both is always a good idea)!
• Camping Chair for your swimmers and any spectators

• Towel (or two!)
• Sharpie:  Remember to write your swimmers events on their arm or leg.. I'm attaching a graphic with an example.  For our younger swimmers, please write your child's last name and age vertically on their right shoulder (this just helps us identify them and make sure they are in the right place). 
• Sunscreen and Bug Spray
• Cash for concessions

Thank you again for all of your support! This is going to be a great season! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! 

Lets Go Pirates!!!
