We’ve got some new (and exciting) things happening at our Saturday meet with AAC. If you will be at Applewood Athletic, please read through so the meet can run a smoothly as possible.
The meet will be run by a new software system called Swimmingly. This may be an in-the-weeds type thing for parents, but we do need you to take action.
– Parents: you can download an app called SWIIMINGLYFAN that will allow you to see real-time results from the race. (please note: results will be available on our website (as usual) after the event. So this is not mandatory.
– Timers: you will need to download an app called SWIMMINGLY to time the swimmers during the race. (you will use your smartphone instead of the timing watches) – if you are an Adroid user and having troubles, we’ll figure it out on Saturday. Don’t panic. We’ve got this!
– Officials: you will need to download the SWIMMINGLY app to officiate.
– Swimmers: You will be assigned an athlete number (e.g. 26) and this number will be sharpied onto your shoulder when you arrive at the meet. You can NOT enter the pool without this number on your shoulder.
Finally, we always get instructions of where to camp out at AAC and here is the latest for Saturday:
– The grass is OFF LIMITS. (this also means that kids will not be able to walk through the grass to get to the playground. Sorry)
– Please do not bring tents and limit the amount of chairs you bring.
– Our team will be under the pavilion (on the east side) at picnic tables and AAC will have the west-ish side.
– It will be tight, so plan to be cozy. Please tell your swimmers to keep it tidy and not spread out. If you are not standing/sitting on concrete for this meet, you are doing it wrong.
As always, thanks for your flexibility. We will have fun checking out a whole new system that may show up at other pools throughout the year 🙂
