Hello Renegades,

We need EVERYONE to make their best efforts to wear a swim cap during practice.  The coaches will be reminding the swimmers at each practice.  

We have caps available for purchase at both pools during each practice.  Latex cap is $10, Silicone cap is $12 payable by cash, check payable to SR Renegades, or Venmo @srrenegades

The personalized swim caps are not in yet but should be soon.

Team Suit:

Make sure you purchase your black team suit at SwimFreak, 10350 Bandera Rd.

Suit team embroidery logo is available anytime (even if it is after the meet).  Cost is $10 payable by cash, check payable to Helene Perez, or Venmo @thestitchingengineer.  You can bring your swimsuit to any practice in the box with name, phone and e-mail, or a piece of paper, secured with a rubber band, with your contact info.

Meet:

Our swim meet is FRIDAY, May 31st, at Whispering Oaks, 11219 Whisper Valley. 

Arrival time is 4:45 p.m., warm-up is 5:15 p.m., the meet will start at 6 p.m.

Timers Meeting: 5:40pm

If your swimmer is signed up to attend, PLEASE make sure to show up, and be there ON TIME. If an emergency changes your attendance status, please contact Linda Nelms at 210-269-3042 as soon as possible.  Spontaneous "no shows" create lots of confusion and disorganization...communication is imperative.

What to Bring:

Towel or small chair for your swimmer to sit on; towel for drying off; any light snacks your swimmer may need; water/gatorade; sunscreen; bug spray; Whispering Oaks has requested NO COOLERS.  Concessions will be available (see below) and we highly encourage you to support the concessions as that is a primary source of fund raising for the teams.

Parking:

The pool is inside the neighborhood. 11219 Whisper Valley, San Antonio, TX 78230 Please ensure you do NOT park in the ‘NO Parking’ areas along Whisper Valley. It may be roped off, but there are signs. On the corner of Whisper Valley and Whisper Bluff there is a FIRE HYDRANT. Police will ticket and/or tow. Whispering Oaks neighbors support swim team, but they kindly ask that we do not block their driveways.

Before Arrival:

Please see the Swim Meet 101 page at Swim Meet 101 - Sonoma Ranch Renegades (swimtopia.com), "Before Arrival" section. Your swimmer's events can be viewed on Thursday at the Meet Heat Sheets and Results page, Meet Heat Sheets & Results - Sonoma Ranch Renegades (swimtopia.com), click on Events By Athlete. The full heat sheet is under the Heat Sheet link

Set Up:

There will be a designated area in the shade for our swim team members to sit together.

Parents can set up anywhere they would like, with the exception of the Whispering Oaks reserved seating area. There are a lot of trees that provide ample shade. No shade tents are necessary, but you will need chairs for sitting. There are some benches along the pool side as well during races. Our team gets all the shade!

Volunteers:

THANK YOU to those who have signed up to be a timer.  

We still need 7 timers for the 2nd half.  We MUST get these filled so someone isn't stuck working the entire meet.  Please sign-up on the Sign-Up page Sign-up Calendar - Sonoma Ranch Renegades (swimtopia.com); click on the green "Job Sign Up" link

REMINDER:  EACH FAMILY IS REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER AT 2 MEETS...AND UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES A 3RD.  If everyone pitches in, those positions are only for half of the meet so that it is enjoyable for everyone.

Concessions:

Concessions will be available - Whispering Oaks will offer a variety of drinks options (water, name-brand soda, Gatorade®), Chick-fil-A® sandwiches and pizza, popcorn and assorted salty and sweet treats. Kona Ice will be on-sight for purchasing sno-cones. Please support concessions as this is part of fund raising for the teams

Please let us know if you have any questions.

WHAT TIME IS IT?...GAME TIME!

LET'S GO RENEGADES!!!
