Happy Thursday Stingrays!

This week’s meet is sponsored by Carroll Insurance. The Stingrays thank you again for your continued support!

This Saturday’s meet is AWAY against the Oak Ridge Otters. Heat and Psych Sheets are attached. Please note the expected timing of events; the meet is projected to end around 2:20pm which is later than our previous meets this season.

Address: Marilyn Edgar Park, 26531 Hillside Drive.

*This is just south of The Woodlands so make sure to allow for ample travel time Saturday morning.

Where to park: (a) street parking on the winding roads near the park on S. Hillsdale Dr. or (b) in the parking lot at Center for Pediatric Therapy (big metal building between Mattress Clearance Center and Rooms to Go gaining access to that parking lot from the feeder road off I-45; do not park at Rooms-to-Go). There is reserved parking for your coaches and your officials in the formal parking areas at the pool from S. Hilldale Dr.

Visiting team set-up: Set-up under the large covered Pavilion that is also a basketball court. That can get crowded for larger teams, so there is also space to set up tents and chairs outside of the pool in park areas.

**We strongly encourage that you and your swimmers begin hydrating Friday and continue to do so throughout the meet.**

You are responsible for cleaning up. Please pick up trash you have and make sure you take anything you brought from home with you! We want to keep our neighborhood and the ones we swim in as clean and neat as we found them, if not better.

If you are not going to make a meet or have a sick swimmer, please email Coach Emily ([email protected]) or use the REMIND app to send her a message.

SWIMMER TENTS
