TCF Swim Families,

Our 4th swim meet is this Thursday, 6/19, at Lake Forest. The theme is “Princesses and Superheroes,” if your swimmer wants to dress up! Please see below for all the important details. Please make note of the address, arrival times, parking and spectator specifics.

IF YOU NEED TO PULL YOUR CHILD OUT OF THE MEET ON THURSDAY - TEXT EMMY at 404-358-2639

Address

5575 Lake Oak Landing Cumming, GA 30040

Parking

Once you turn into the main entrance of the neighborhood, the pool will be on the left at your first stop sign. Please see the attached parking map and follow the parking signs throughout the neighborhood.

Sick Child/Emergency

If your child becomes ill, or you have an emergency at the last minute and you will not be able to participate in the meet (either as a swimmer or volunteer), please contact the following people:

Emmy Tyre (swimmer cancellation): 404-358-2639
KahMun Deladisma (volunteer issues/concerns): 678-362-5682

We ask that you limit meet withdrawals to illness or emergencies only, as it is very difficult to make last minute changes once the meet lineups are set.

Volunteer Assignments

Volunteer assignments will be complete tomorrow unless we have a sick child/cancellation. If a change needs to be made, we will let you know. Please take note of which position you have been assigned. Bullpen parents need to arrive at the same time as swimmers (4:15 pm). Timers/recorders and judges will meet around 5:00pm for a meeting. All 2nd shift volunteers check in before 7pm.

Heat Sheets

Heat Sheets will be sent out via e-mail around 2:00 pm on Thursday. Please PRINT a copy for yourself, as we will only have limited copies available for those volunteers who need them for their volunteer job.

Arrival Times & Schedule

• FLAMES Arrival Time: 4:15 pm
• Warm-ups will be 4:40-5:10 pm
• Senior Recognition will begin at 5:10
• SPARKS will be swimming this week at 5:15 pm.
• Meet starts promptly at 5:30 pm

Drop your child off at their bullpen and have them check in with a bullpen volunteer. Our bullpen/team areas will be on the grassy areas located outside the pool gate to the left of the pool, near the tennis courts.

What to Bring

Important items to pack include two towels per child (one to sit on, one to dry off with), sunscreen, bug repellant, a small cooler (for water, Gatorade, and snacks), fun things for your child to do (there is plenty of down time between races), folding chair for parents, money for concession stand, a PRINTED heat sheet, and a flashlight in case the meet goes late. Please label ALL of your belongings. Many things tend to go missing at the end of the meet, especially when it starts to get dark. We advise against bringing electronics to the meet; WATER + ELECTRONICS = BAD

Food

The Lake Forest concession stand will take Venmo or cash (cash preferred!) They offer Pizzeria Azzurri Pizza (Cheese and Pepperoni), Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, BBQ sandwiches, Chips, Candy, and drinks. A Kona Ice truck will also be on property during the meet.

Weather Policy

We try to never reschedule a meet due to weather! If there is thunder or lightning, the referee or the lifeguard will make the call to clear the pool. This may delay the start of a meet or cancel warm-ups. If it occurs during the meet, we will confer with the other team and make a decision whether to stop the meet completely or wait it out. We usually wait as long as possible, but keep the safety of our swimmers and their families a priority. During weather delays we suggest that families retreat to their cars and wait for text updates. Weather related updates will be made via our SwimTopia App - make sure your notifications are turned on!

See you all Thursday! Go FLAMES!
