Hello Team!

It's BU time! If you have not yet signed up for the meet, which takes place at

https://www.meetresults.com/entries/

Entries must be in by NOVEMBER 23 to avoid late fee.

Last year we rallied 56 swimmers. As usual, we are planning on having lots of
fun and laughs at the meet and maybe even doing some fast swimming, so please
join us for a few races and relays over the weekend.

GO GBM!!!

Darwin

Notes:
1. Team seating: Please come sit with the team. You may want to bring a
folding chair as pool deck chairs can be limited. Look out for the GBM team banner.
2. Fluids and snacks: There will be a concession stand but you will want to
bring some snacks (e.g. energy bars, dried fruit, bananas) and drinks (water,
energy drinks) to keep you going through the meet.
3. Keeping warm: Keeping cool is usually easy, but sometimes keeping warm can
be a challenge. A warm hat and warm socks with good pool deck shoes can help.
Remember to bring enough towels/chammy swim towels to get dry between swims.
4. Sadly the era of 'Body suits' is but a distant memory. Guys can wear jammers
(waist to knees), briefs or shorts. Gals can wear suits from shoulder to knee.
5. Warm up: It is a good idea to get into the race pool to get used to the turns
and the starting blocks before you race. Coach can give you warm up
suggestions. There is a small (and crowded) pool for warm up and swim down
between races throughout the meet.
6. Don't miss your races: Be sure to check your heats and follow progress of the
meet so you don't miss your race! You may want to watch a few heat starts
before your heat to see how the starter is handling the starts. Rules require
you to be not moving when the starting signal is given.
7. Please email us or talk to coach Crystie if you have any questions or concerns.
