Tarpon Tales #6

Hope you have had a GREAT week Tarpons - can't wait to see what this next week has in store for us. We get to "do it again" on MONDAY! Don't forget, Meet Results from Monday can be found here > TROPHY ROOM

  • Parking can be a challenge. Be careful of parking signs - the authorities WILL ticket. There might be some All Star baseball at the Club field, so warn those coming late.

What did we learn last Monday? It's hot - Consume more fluids beginning the night before. There's NEVER enough shade! Bring a chair and sunscreen. Swimmers need caps and goggles, and need to LABEL anything and everything they bring with them to the meet. There's not enough room for family members (adults & kiddos) to stand around a parent fulfilling a meet responsibility, not enough room behind the ends of the pools, and definitely not room for them in the Team areas. Please do NOT hover in the ready bench area with your swimmer. The Age Group parents have it under control. If they don't, either help them AND grab a board member in the bright yellow shirts! It takes a village...and we need YOU!

We run our meets MUCH faster than Sugar Creek, so expect things to be a bit different. Sugar Land is a bigger team, so the meet will last a bit longer. ANNA'S GOURMET GREEK will be our caterer for snacks and meals during the meet > SEE MENU. Anna's food is fresh, prepared daily, and really...it's amazing! Gyros, salads, full meals (cold & warm) meals, including vegetarian. Smoothie King will be in attendance, and we will also have drinks (sodas, water, and gatorades) for sale. DAIRY QUEEN is our post-meet destination (and a big sponsor). Let's grab some burgers and ice cream, and "chill." Don't miss this opportunity to meet some new folks.

NOTE: If you are receiving emails from our Meet/Job Coordinators, PLEASE RESPOND to their requests. PLEASE use the MEET ABSENCE feature on the website > ABSENCES
