Happy Monday, makos! 

I hope the weather holds out for us this weekend. 

There is a 30-40% chance of thunderstorms, but I think we will be clear in the morning. Attached is the heat sheet for this Saturday. 

We will open the facility around 7:45 a.m. to let folks trickle in for setup, with warm-up sessions beginning at 8! I'm thinking we will divide our pool and time into 20-minute sessions as follows: 

8:00-8:20 Orange Beach
8:20-8:40 Foley
8:40-9:00 Gulf Shores

At 8:50 a.m., all volunteers will meet at the timing table to get assignments and report to their placements. As of now I have one parent at COC, 2 stroke-and-turn officials, and 4 timers from our end, if not more. 

The meet will immediately follow warm-ups and run straight through until the 500 FR where we will take a 10-minute break. If all runs smoothly, we should wrap around 11:00 a.m. 

Please ensure 500 swimmers have their own counters! 

*** I'd also like to ask that the shower rooms remain for athletes only. Everyone else is allowed to use the facilities outside the shower/locker area. 

*** No tents inside the facility! Due to extensive construction around us, tent setup will not be possible. Please advise families to bring only chairs and coolers, and to enter at the south gate location shown on the attached map.

*** Due to the FloraBama's Mullet Toss happening this weekend as well, we will not have traditional barricades available to block off our deck and pump room area. Please be mindful of set up and try to remain on the north side of the pool deck without blocking access to the pump room under the covered areas. 

I look forward to a great morning of racing! :)

Best,

Coach Dakota
