You are welcome to take your swimmers to the concession stand, etc., between events, let the Tent Parent know when you take your child then return them expeditiously. Make sure to check your child out with a Tent Parent at the end of the swim meet.

Final item – Swimmer markup. Steve set up a fantastic “Tent Parent 101” guide on how to read heat sheets and how to mark up your swimmers HERE. If you are confident in marking then do it before you leave the house, otherwise they will be marked in the tents. Make sure to mark swimmers BEFORE spraying sunblock on them.

Looking forward to it,

GO TOPRPEDOES!!!
