MRC Meet Information
MRC meet is here! And in typical fashion, it is going to be HOT this weekend! A few things you need to know before traveling to MRC...
1. Bring a chair and bring a canopy! There are no trees to sit under so bring a tent to stay under during the meet. NO STAKES for your tents only buckets! If you want to be fancy, I heard bringing a mini pool or fan helps keep you cool!
2. The team can only have one tent in the fenced area for the athletes. All other tents need to be outside of the fence. Due to this, we ask any athletes not swimming in that specific session to please stay in the family tents outside of the fence.
3. NO GUM ALLOWED in the team tent. As you know, we bring our team couch. While packing up last year there were many chewed gum sticking to our couch. Please do not bring it in the tent or the couch will magically disappear.
4. SUNSCREEN AND WATER BOTTLE. All athlete need to bring their own sunscreen and water bottle to the meet. They will be asked if they have one. With the heat and sun, they need to have these two things to be able to finish strong at the end of the meet.
5. Athletes are asked to bring a chair even if they plan on sitting on the team's couch. Believe it or not, 15 kids can not fit on a couch.
6. We will have a small cooler with water and ice for the kids to refill their water bottles. If you wish to bring your own cooler, you are more than welcome to but it will need to stay in the family tents outside of the fenced in area.
