• Caps will be handed out at the meet! If you do not have your South swimsuit yet, you can wear any plain colored suit (no club, college, or other team apparel is allowed per GHSA)
• The swim portion of the meet will be moving quick, so make sure you pay attention to the heat sheet and the score board so we have no missed events
• Bring water, snacks, towel, anything else you need to be successful!
• You are expected to stay the entirety of the meet unless discussed and approved to leave early by the coaches.
• You should be cheering on your teammates when you are not competing!
• If you signed up to time, please arrive by 1:15.
• We are hoping the dive portion of the meet will end earlier which will result in      the swim portion potentially starting earlier. Athletes should be checking the      team GroupMe for updates on timeline. 

Team Bonfire- Sunday 6-8PM at the Letsch's! Please make sure you have RSVP'd on Swimtopia and have signed up to bring an appetizer or snack to share

• The captains are planning to do a swim & dive "family reveal", these "families" —are small groups made up of athletes from each grade level —to boost team morale and build connections. These families offer extra support, encouragement, and mentorship throughout the season. We hope they’ll hang out, motivate one another, and create lasting bonds that strengthen the team now and in future seasons. We are going to hold off on doing this until 7-7:15PM for those coming from the SWAT meet.
• We will also be playing games and having smores and enjoying each other's company. We encourage everyone to try and attend!
