• Relays - Relays can change after circle-in. 10 & U Parents please check with tent parents before you leave to see if there has been any changes to relays, as they may have been added after their events were written on their arm.
• Feedback from Coaches - Please have your swimmer(s) check-in with the coaches before each event they swim to get last minute tips and reminders. After your child swims each of their events, please have them get their time and speak to one of the coaches to get feedback.
• Sportsmanship - Please remind your swimmer(s) that they are representing the Bolts and to act accordingly. I love it when I see our swimmers giving the other team "high fives", shaking hands and simply saying "good job"! Our team has always been known to show good sportsmanship, and we want to maintain that reputation!
• Spectators - Please make sure you are watching your kids swim from the designated Spectator area. Please do not gather around the Coaches' tents, blocks, or ready benches.
• Photography - We love that you enjoy capturing your kiddos swimming in action. This year per NEW league rules we are NOT allowed to take pictures from behind the blocks of swimmers.

• Clean Up - As you pack up your gear, please look around your area and pick up all the trash. If you see someone dropping trash, please remind them to pick it up.

Let's have a great meet! Go Bolts!
