Hi Barracuda Families,

As the home team, Collington families should set up in the splash pad area. Please note that all tables on the pool deck are reserved for VIP table winners and the visiting team.

Please arrive early enough to get settled and have swimmers ready for warm-ups.

MEET LOGISTICS

  • The Clerk of Course is located behind the starting blocks. Write your swimmer's last name on the back of their shoulder and their event information on their hand or arm with a Sharpie before arriving. This helps volunteers, clerks, and swimmers stay organized throughout the meet.
  • VOLUNTEER REMINDERS

    • Thank you to everyone who has signed up to volunteer! All volunteers must check in at the Collington Team Table beside the entrance to the splash pad BEFORE the meet begins, regardless of whether you are working first half or second half.

    If you are serving as a timer or strokes & turns official, please attend the corresponding meeting before the meet begins. These meetings are required for all volunteers in those positions.

    SPIRIT THEME: HAWAIIAN NIGHT 🌺🌴

    Break out your Hawaiian shirts, leis, tropical prints, sunglasses, and beach vibes as we bring a little island spirit to the pool deck! Let's turn Collington into paradise for the evening and show off our Barracuda pride.

    FOOD & TREATS

    BARRACUDA SPIRIT SHOP & FUNDRAISERS

    Stop by concessions to purchase swim caps, stickers, magnets, temporary tattoos, marble war marbles, and VIP table raffle tickets. Payment accepted via cash or Venmo.

    MARBLE WAR IS BACK!

    Support your favorite coach in the ultimate Barracuda showdown by purchasing marbles throughout the season. The coach with the most marbles at the end of the season will be PIED IN THE FACE at our End-of-Season Social!

    Marbles are available for purchase at concessions for 2 marbles for $1 BEFORE the start of the meet and $1 after the meet starts.

    HEAT WINNER PRIZES

    Every heat winner earns a marble for the Barracuda Marble War! If your swimmer wins their heat, have them stop by the concession stand to collect their marble and choose which coach's bucket they would like to add it to. It's a little extra incentive to swim fast and help your favorite coach avoid (or earn!) a pie in the face at the End-of-Season Social. 

    In addition, all HOT heat winners will receive a special Blue Barracuda Rubber Ducky! Not interested in a duck? Heat winners may trade in their duck at the concession stand for their choice of candy or chips. So, swim fast, cheer loud, and don't forget to claim your prizes!

    LAST CHANCE FOR A VIP TABLE!

    There is still time to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win one of our reserved VIP tables for tomorrow night's meet. Enjoy a front-row view of the action with reserved seating for your family! The drawing will take place at 12 p.m. tomorrow, so be sure to get your tickets before then.

  • Please remember to report any swimmer absences to Coach Melanie as soon as possible if your plans have changed.

    • Let's make our first home meet of the season one to remember!

    Go Barracudas! 🦈💙
