FPST Info for Sunday @City Meet: Relays, Mountain Mikes, and MORE!

Hi Flyer Families,

What an awesome day - we love our amazing FLYERS! There's S'MORE to come! 
A few reminders for SUNDAY:

  • WARM-UPS: 7:45-8 am, lanes 4-7 | MEET START: 8:30 am
  • ORDER OF EVENTS (Breast, Back, Free Relays):
    • Morning: Breast and Back Preliminaries | Afternoon: Breast and Back Finals, Free Relays, Parent/Coach Free Relays
    • Note that the events are not in the usual order by age that many may be used to. Carefully check the Meet Program, Meet Mobile, etc. to confirm your swimmer's event numbers. Time Drops code is 2468.
  • ATTIRE: Team Camp Shirt
  • RELAYS: Do not leave the meet early without checking to see if you are swimming in a relay! In some cases we have an A, B, and C relay teams and alternate swimmers listed. Talk with Coach Jeff if you need to leave for any reason.
    • Relay Teams: During the morning, coordinate with your teammates where and when you'll meet to get ready for the afternoon free relays. If you end up not coordinating, have swimmers on relays stay in the team area or at the hospitality tent to make it easy to find them.
      • Remember all relay teams need a relay card from Coach Jeff. They will need the card when they check in at Clerk of Course.
    • 8 and Under Relays: One parent is allowed to go through with the relay team to help them get to their blocks.
  • PARENTS/COACHES FREE RELAY are the last events of the day - make sure to cheer them on! Are you a parent and want to swim? Bring your suit in case there end up being open spots!
    • Parents: At around 10 am, I'll have a sheet on the relay board in our team area for those who signed up to confirm you are still swimming. Please add your name to the sheet.
    • If you did not sign up but would like to swim the relay, add your name to the sheet as we may have enough for a second relay team/and or to replace parents who decide not to do it.
  • Clerk of Course organizers have given specific instructions:
    • Last name, first initial, age, and team acronym should be on back of swimmer's right shoulder.
    • Do not write event info on hands (use forearm instead).
    • Swimmers should report to Clerk of Course NO SOONER than 10 heats before their race (note heats and not events).
  • Don't forget to show some spirit: Cheer on teammates, help pass out treats to the other teams, give out Spirit Clips, say thank you to timers, shake hands/high five swimmers in the next lane, etc.
  • MOUNTAIN MIKES: As is our tradition, we go to Mountain Mikes (the one by Clayton Valley Bowl) to celebrate and close the weekend out as a team! Keep an ear out for what time we decide to head there.

Looking forward to S'MORE fun! GO FLYERS! Swim FAST!

Thanks,

FPST Team
