Dear Torpedo Families,

Can you believe it? We're gearing up for our last swim meet of the season, Meet #5 against the Meadow Marlins! It's been an incredible journey watching your swimmers grow and achieve so much since May. We couldn't be prouder of each and every one of them!

MEET DETAILS:

• Who: New Territory Torpedoes vs. Meadow Marlins
• When: June 24, 2024
• Where: Meadows Place Community Center, 11975 Dorrance Lane, Meadows Place, TX 77477 (Pool at Dorrance and Amblewood)

EVENT SCHEDULE:

• Set Up Crew: Arrive at 3:15 PM
• Tent Parents: Arrive at 3:30 PM for organization and training.
• Swimmers: Arrive at 3:45 PM for warm-ups.
• Shift 1 Volunteers: Arrive at 4:00 PM for on-the-spot training.
• Swimmer Warmups: Begin at 4:30 PM

Parking: Please park at the gravel lot west of the pool on Dorrance. Street parking is allowed in designated areas. DO NOT PARK on Dorrance in front of the pool – it's strictly prohibited and cars will be towed. See map attached.

Concessions: Enjoy a variety of food and drinks including pizza, hotdogs, burgers, nachos, chips, soft drinks, Gatorade, water, snow cones, candy, and a limited number of Cabo Bob’s burritos. Cash is preferred, but cards are accepted for purchases for over $5.

• NOTE: Marlins Tokens are exchanged for currency, and then the tokens can be used to purchase items from the concession stand.

Volunteer Information: We still need more volunteers, especially for Tent Setup, Scorekeepers, and Tent Parents. Your immediate help is crucial for the meet's success! Tent parents are essential for ensuring your child is at their event on time. Without enough volunteers, parents will need to personally accompany their child to the ready bench before their event. Please note, if your child misses their event, they won't have another chance to swim it.

We appreciate your swift response in volunteering as a tent parent or in any capacity needed. Volunteer by emailing [email protected] with your preferred job and shift.
