Hellllllooooooo Hammerheads, 

Since you've all finished RSVP'ing (LOL you did, right) for Saturday, wanted to bring up a couple of reminders:   
Using pool after practice/meets: (HL Residents) All swimmers need to leave the pool area after practice through the back gate.  Once Hammerhead practice is over, swimmers are no longer under our insurance.  If HL residents want to come back and continue swimming, they need to sign in at the front gate & follow amenity center age rules so they are under the amenity center insurance.    

Using pool after practice/meets: (non residents)  Unfortunately, non residents are not covered under the team insurance after practices/meets have ended so they are not allowed to swim in the HL pool.   HOWEVER, if you are friends with a HL resident family, you can exit the back gate, then sign in at the front gate as a guest of the resident family.    

Using host team's rec pool during swim meets:  Again, due to insurance issues (y'all know how it is these days, sorry!) NO visiting team member or family members are allowed to use the recreation pools during swim meets. For example, when we visit St. John's, it's sooooo tempting to take your non-swimmer to cool off in the rec pool but we are not allowed to do so.   Our Hammerhead swimmers are NOT allowed to play in the rec pools either.... we need them to save their energy for swimming FAST and getting new PRs!  **We need ALL parents to help with this because the coaches are busy during the meets.   

Team shirts & Caps:  Our awesome equipment manager, Katee, will be getting your shirts and caps handed out before the first meet... she's working on getting it all sorted.   We know you want to be sporting those cool caps!   Please wear your new, team shirt to the swim meet on Saturday.   ****Please use a sharpie and write your swimmer's name on the t-shrt tag!  You won't believe how many we find each season!  

Parking:  Please always remember that there is no, never, nada, parking on the grass at Heritage Landing's amenity center.  I'll be sending info before our first meet about parking suggestions.   Just make sure your bike tires are pumped up!   :)

I think that's it for now and can't wait for our first meet this Saturday!  

Gooooooooooooo Hammerheads!
