Good Afternoon,

It has been a wonderful season where we have gotten to see all of our swimmers grow so much. We are so excited to watch as everyone gets to show off all that hard work at the 2026 City Championship Meet. This email is going to have a lot of information so please read it carefully.

LEAGUE STANDINGS: Before anything else, I want to congratulate everyone on an amazing regular season leaving us tied for first place in our league! The deciding factor on who wins league 4 will be City Meet Points. Whomever scores highest between USC, MAFD, and FDCC will be the league champion and we are proud of the dedication our swimmers have show to get us this far!

EVENTS: Attached is a list of events for all swimmers. Heats and lanes will be available the day of the meet. Individual entries cannot be changed at this point. If for some reason your swimmer will be unable to swim an event, you must let Coach Robbie know asap.

TENT: Our team tent will be in the same location as last year. No pop-up tents will be allowed. If you would like to hang tarps or towels or other things from the tent to create more shade, we believe that is ok. We encourage families to bring chairs, games, snacks, and places to sit in the tent when swimmers are not racing. Attached is a map of the tents.

SPECTATORS: Spectating is free inside Allan Jones. There will also be a livestream for those parents and other people who are unable to attend city meet in person. Parents will be allowed on the upper concourse only. UT also requests we ensure our swimmers and other kids are not playing on any of the diving equipment.

HEAT SHEETS/MERCH: Heat Sheets will be sold in the front entrance of Allan Jones. Other merchandise will be sold in the upper concourse, as will some concessions.

THURSDAY: 10 and under day.

PSYCH SHEET: Attached is the pysch sheet for Thursday so you can see where your swimmers are expected to place. Top 16 swimmers come back to final, 17 and 18 are alternates. We encourage all swimmers to do their best because every swim counts at city meet. There are no scoring heats, only times.
