Dear Swimmers, Divers, Coaches, and Parents,

Due to fire code regulations, the growing number of athletes interested in swimming and diving in the county, and the lack of facilities available, it is necessary to make some adjustments to our meet format in order to allow all of our athletes an opportunity to participate. As I mentioned earlier in the invitation, we would prefer to have ONLY the athletes and parent volunteers attend the meet. This is because we have 395 swimmers and divers in the meet. We are only allowed to have 350 athletes in a meet and 310 officials, volunteers, coaches, employees, and parents.

We have 11 teams with about 25 coaches and the 50 volunteers that will make the meet possible. We are over the athlete limit by 45 swimmers. I strongly suggest to your team, parents, and booster club, that they do NOT attend. My booster club will be charging $10.00 at the door for admission, including a heat sheet. This price was picked to be a deterrent for spectators to decrease the attendance. Please inform your team. I will ask for 2 volunteers from each team if you could send me their names so they do not have to pay and could potentially time, that would be wonderful.

I know that we work at least 6 days a week for our swimmers and divers because we value our athletes. This is an opportunity for them. I truly believe that high school athletics is not about the coaches or the parents. My goal, this meet, is to give swimmers and divers an opportunity to compete, earn points for their team, break records, and have fun. Thank you for your support. We could not do it without you.
