Hello Stingray Families!

Our first big home meet of the season is this Tuesday, June 16th, as we host the Midlothian Tidal Waves! Putting on a home meet is a true community effort, and we need everyone's help to get the lineup set and the deck ready.

Please read through these details carefully, as there are a few time-sensitive tasks for Monday and Tuesday.

🚨 ACTION REQUIRED: Declare Your Swimmer by Monday at 2:00 PM!

We need to know exactly who is swimming so the coaches can build the meet lineup.

• Deadline: Monday (June 15th) by 2:00 PM
• How: Log into the SwimTopia app, go to the Week 3 meet, and click "Meet Declaration" to mark your swimmer as Attending or Not Attending.
• Even if your swimmer cannot make it, please mark them as "Not Attending" so we know they are accounted for!

⏱️ Tuesday Timeline & Home Team Warm-Ups

Because we are the hosting team, our warm-up slot is the earlier session. Please arrive on time so our swimmers can get a proper warm-up in the water!

• 4:30 PM: Swimmer Check-In (Please arrive by this time)
• 4:45 PM – 5:15 PM: Surreywood Stingrays Warm-Ups
• 5:15 PM – 5:45 PM: Visiting Team Warm-Ups
• 5:45 PM: Officials and Timers Meeting
• 6:00 PM: National Anthem & First Event

📋 We Need You: Volunteer Sign-Ups!

As a gentle reminder, all families are required to volunteer during the swim season. It takes a village to run a swim meet, and we still have quite a few critical open slots to fill for Tuesday night.

• Are you a new swim parent? Don't worry! We have plenty of simple, low-stress roles perfect for beginners. We will happily train you on the spot—it’s a fantastic way to learn how a meet works and meet other parents!
• How to sign up: Head over to the SwimTopia app, click on Tuesday's meet, and select "Job Signup."

🏆 Don't Forget: The Parent & Coach Relay!

Get ready to cheer extra loud! This week, we are adding a fun Parent/Coach Relay to the event lineup. We need 8 parents/adults over 18+ to create two parent teams for Surreywood!

🍰 Bake Sale Donations Needed!

Our famous Stingrays Bake Sale is back! If you are able to donate sweet treats this week, please make sure all baked goods are pre-packaged into individual servings (e.g., single cookies in ziplock bags, individually wrapped brownies, etc.). This helps makes checkout a breeze for our volunteers. Thank you for your delicious support!

⛺ Spectator Tips & Seating

• Arrive Early: The pool deck fills up quickly! We recommend arriving early to secure a good spot.
• Bring Camp Chairs: While there is space around the pools and in the picnic/playground areas, open seating is limited. Bringing your own camp chairs ensures your family stays comfortable all evening.
• Concessions & Bake Sale: The Stingray Cafe will be serving up burgers and hot dogs, alongside our delicious Bake Sale. We accept cash and digital payments via QR codes.

Let's show our Stingray spirit and make our visitors feel welcome! See you all on Tuesday afternoon.
