KM Sharks: First Colony Away Meet
June 26th
Our first away meet (in two years!!) will be this Monday at First Colony. The address is 125 Pasbehegh Drive, Williamsburg. Warm ups begin at 5:30pm, so please be at the pool by 5:15. The team has passed along some important information regarding Covid mitigation strategies. We expect all of our Sharks to comply.
- Swimmers: Sharks will stage outside the fenced
pool deck. Swimmers will remain with
their families until they are called for their event. Since we have to start organizing outside the
pool deck, we ask all of our swimmers to pay extra close attention. Once the
swimmers enter the pool deck, a second staging/holding area will be at the near
side of the pool deck next to the baby pool.
One heat of swimmers will line up behind the blocks at a time. For heats
of 9-18 year olds, they will run flyover starts in order to minimize swimmer
interaction behind the blocks.
- Spectators should plan to set up in the field
surrounding the pool. Spectators will be allowed inside to watch their
swimmer’s heat from the designated area between the shallow end and baby pool. They
should enter through the main gate then exit after their swimmer has completed
their swim. Visiting spectators will exit through the main gate.
- Amenities/Concessions: The restrooms on the pool
deck will be available to all as needed. Concessions will be sold under the
pavilion - snacks, desserts, candy, ice cream, beverages. A food truck (Old City BBQ) will also sell food.
- Masks: In accordance with the current CDC recommendations, fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a mask. Non-vaccinated individuals should wear a mask when distancing is not possible. Swimmers will not be required to wear masks.
In addition, if you are sending a hired volunteer, please email us their name and contact information by tomorrow evening. Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Go Sharks!!
