I know the weather has been crazy lately. Even if it is raining, please show up to the meet. If we do not show up we forfeit the meet. We can swim in the rain, but must exit the pool if lightning or thunder is heard for at least 30 minutes. If teams have swum through event #38 or beyond and the meet has to be canceled due to weather, the meet will be scored and is considered finished. Only the meet referee can cancel a meet. I will send out and email and post on the website if the meet is postponed or canceled due to weather.
We have a lot of new families, so please step up and help if you see someone struggling or looking lost! We are a team and a family, it takes all of us to make these meets happen!
Most of all have fun and enjoy the meet! We are glad to have you all as part of the Manta Rays Family!
