Greetings Gators,

1. 6/12 Home Meet: Tomorrow is our first home meet. Please review the website for important home meet information: https://kingsgategators.swimtopia.com/home-pool. Warm Ups are at 4:45 sharp. Delfino’s Food Truck will be on site. The menu is attached.

2. Meet Preparations: Swim meets can last up to four hours, and are done come rain or shine! Temperatures can vary greatly during a meet, so be prepared for all weather variations. Things you need to bring, or should consider, as you prepare for a meet:

- Team suit and a back-up suit (can be a warm-up suit or a competition suit) – marked with the swimmer's name for easy identification

- Team cap

- Goggles and back up goggles

- Lots of towels- A good rule is to have one towel per event plus one extra

- Sunscreen

- Warm clothes - Sweats, swim parka, rain jacket

- Blanket(s)

- Folding chair(s) - Both home and away pools do not have enough seating to support all the spectators

- Entertainment - Cards, books, devices, other items to pass time while waiting at the meet

- Canopy/tent - Great for all weather. However, not all pools have room for these. Please try and share/coordinate with other Gator families, if possible.

3. Volunteers: Remember to check in with the point of contact if you are signed up to volunteer at the meet. FYI, 2nd half participation starts based on the event and not the actual time. There will be an announcement when the meet switches to the second half.

4. 6/14 Away Meet: Thursday we will be at the Kingsgate Royals pool. Please review the website for away meet information: https://kingsgategators.swimtopia.com/away-pools

5. Division Champs: Save the date July 15^th or July 16^th. We are still working on a location, date, and time for division champs but should have information coming soon.

Please reach out with any questions. 

See you at the pool,

Ashley & Donna
