Franklin Fish!

This weekend we host a tri-meet. Two medium-sized teams will come to Franklin so we'll be packed. We really need everyone’s support to make sure the meet ends in a timely manner. We have a hard stop time of 2pm so hopefully we can move fast - or we will end the meet no matter what event we are on.

Setup

Please set up your personal tents inside the blue outline. Allow our opponents the red and green space.

Concessions

If your LAST name begins with the letter A - M, please bring at least a 6 pack of drinks to sell at concessions. This can be soda, diet soda, gatorade, water, seltzer water, anything you see fit. Drop it at concessions when you enter the pool area.

We will be trying a credit card reader at concessions tomorrow! Wish us luck!

Theme

This week’s theme for swimmers is “Sports gear”!

Warm-ups

Our warmups are from 6:45 - 7:05am. If you are not showing up for warmups, please avoid arriving to the pool just minutes before your first event. The timeline on the heat sheets is an estimate and our goal is to run ahead of time this week. We will not hold an event or a place in a relay for a late swimmer. We will do flyover starts for 9-10 kids and older - meaning, we will not clear the pool between races (except backstroke).
