Good evening! Are you all getting your swim bags packed and chairs, tents, and wagons loaded up ready for tomorrow's time trials?! 

Attached are the session report and swimmer check-in form for tomorrow's Time Trials.

The session report gives an estimated timeline per event, but please remember this is just an estimate. With tomorrow being our first meet of the season and the very first meet for many new swimmers, we expect that things may come up that may cause us to get away from this expected timeline. 

The swimmer check in form will show all swimmers entered into the meet and their events. This information and more are all available in the Swimtopia app, which integrates directly with our software. A heat sheet is also available in the app; just remember heat sheets are subject to change when we make final changes on the morning of the meet. To receive the most 'real time' meet information you will need the PRO edition of Swimtopia which is $5.99/month (only needed for two months, and I'll send a reminder at the end of June to cancel the paid-portion of the app). You can also declare your swimmers and sign up for volunteer jobs through the app.

Another app that may be helpful this season is the Time Drops Live app, which is free and connects with our timing system and scoreboard. This app does require a PIN which is 2638. You are able to see real time results from your phone!

Tomorrow morning and every Sat meet, the swimmer check in table will open at 6:45, which is followed by age group warm-ups. After check-in is complete, these check in sheets are brough over to us at computers to make any final meet changes. That means that any swimmer not checked in can potentially be scratched from the meet. This is also when we make necessary changes to relays (not applicable for tomorrow -- no relays at Time Trials). If your swimmer is late or cannot be at the meet, please reach out to me directly with their name and age group on Saturday as early as possible. Text is the best option: 361-771-5206.

**There are still many volunteer jobs available for tomorrow, including timing, ready bench, and concessions. If you haven't signed up to help, please do so asap. We must have shifts covered in order to run a successful meet, and if we can't get the jobs covered, we really will not be done when that session report says. :) 

Thank you! Go Otters!
