Good Morning,

Tomorrow is the day!

Please make sure you and your swimmers hydrate a lot today. It will be hot in Morgan Hill, and it's a long day. Please take care of yourself and your swimmers by hydrating, resting, and going to bed early today. We have a lot of swimmers out ill, so we will be making some changes to relays Saturday morning. Bring healthy snacks tomorrow: fruit, healthy carbs, healthy proteins. Bring TONS of water, hydrating fruits, fans, or cooling towels if you have them. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours and stay in the shade. Every year we have a health concern on the pool deck, please don't let this be you or your swimmer.

Check in 6:45-7:15 Swimmers and volunteers Lunch vouchers will be passed out

Parking- you will pull in the lot, turn right onto the gravel parking lot (see photo in champs info) You will park under the solar panels or out into the gravel/dirt lot. Gates will open at 6:15. DO NOT park in the paved lot, unless you have a VIP Oaktree parking pass. Morgan Hill Aquatics Center will have cars towed.

Warm Ups-7:35-8:05 These are mandatory for all swimmers. We will be in lanes 1-5. The pool is very different then any other pool we have been in this summer. Your swimmer will be prepared for their race if they have practiced jumping/diving in and swimming a few laps.

Clerk of the Course- Please drop your swimmer off at the entrance to the clerk. No one else will be allowed into clerk. If your swimmer is hesitant find their big buddy or a jr. coach to go in and help them. Parents of littles: please keep and eye on the large score board for what event we are on and get them to clerk 5 events prior to their race.

Volunteering- Please be early to your shift 1-2 events prior. You can ask the prior volunteer what your job entails. I will be at check in and can help explain your job as well as your location. Marshalls- please review the map included in our champs info page for your location and job.

Champs Info- please read it completely

I will be at the Morgan Hill Aquatics center tonight and early tomorrow morning. Please text me at 925-899-4025 if anything comes up. We have many swimmers out ill, so we will need to look for volunteer jobs to be filled. I will be on the pool deck all day, but might be hard to locate. I will be under our red check in tent, along the pool cheering on my swimmers, or over by the starter as my job is to help run the entire meet. Please text if you need something during the meet. The coaches will always be behind the starting blocks and will not be able to be of much assistance. A former Oaktree Coach- Zac will be at the coaches table alongside the pool, he can help you.

Remember, champs is our culmination meet. We want to bring our best swimming, have great improved times, and most importantly have fun and good sportsmanship. The coaches will be looking for swimmers who will earn the next set of GOLDEN SWIM CAPS for those swimmers who go above and beyond in sportsmanship!

I look forward to seeing you all at funny awards this morning at 10:00.

Let me know if you have any questions!
