Good morning, CATS Family!

THE COUNTDOWN IS OFFICIALLY ON — our very first meet is almost HERE, and we could not be more excited to cheer on every single one of your amazing swimmers!

Let's make this a day to remember!

MEET ENTRIES: Attached are the meet entries — please take a moment to review them! If your child is missing, can no longer attend, or is in a relay and can't compete, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make changes.

Reminder: In GASL we exchange lineup on Thursday @7pm and can't make changes after that time. The days of adding your swimmer on Friday and even Saturday are long gone. So PLEASE check the meet entries.

RELAY INFO (Important!) In GASL, there are 3 relays that include ALL age groups — one kicks off the meet, one falls in the middle, and one closes it out strong! If your child is in a relay, please confirm they're ready to race!

WHAT TO PACK — Meet Day Checklist:

- Black bathing suit & goggles

- Team t-shirt — wear it proudly on deck!

- CATS swim cap — REQUIRED! In GASL, no other cap is permitted or your swimmer will be DQ'd. (We'll have extras at the meet, just in case!)

- Towel, chair & plenty of hydration — cheer loud and stay cool!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We still need 3 timers for the 1st half of the meet! You'll receive a separate email with check-in details. We so appreciate everyone who steps up — our meets truly couldn't happen without you!

WARMUP SCHEDULE — Please arrive at the pool by 7:15 AM!

11 & Under: 7:25–7:35 AM

12 & Over: 7:35–7:50 AM

Message from Harting Farm and Meet Information

Our pool address is 1101 Harting Farm Drive, Arnold, MD 21012. We have a very small parking lot, so families will need to park on the street. Please be mindful of where you park and do not block driveways or fire hydrants. Please have your families stay away from the pond as we are trying to re-grow all the vegetation.

* Your team will sit on the side of the pool where the baby pool is located and there is space outside the gates of our pool where you can set up tents and sit.The baby pool is closed during the meet, as we don't have guards to monitor. Please let your families know.

* We will have a cash/venmo only concession stand open the entire meet.

* We will have a meeting for stroke and turn judges and timers at 7:45 AM at the entrance to our pool.

We can't wait to see everyone on deck! GO CATS
