6:15 lollipop race for Little Tritons
6:30 meet starts
The forecasted temperature at meet start time tomorrow is 98 with feels like temp of 110. With that in mind, here are some tips from coaches and team reps for preparing to compete in these conditions.
Swimming during tough conditions like extreme heat can be uncomfortable or frustrating. Think about realistic expectations or goals about what our bodies are able to accomplish when we are in tough conditions.
*stay hydrated throughout the day today and Monday -water, electrolytes, sports drinks
*stay in the shade when possible - indoors during the day, under canopies during the meet
*pack extra towels and water/sports drinks to have on deck
We would like to cover as much of the pool deck as possible to provide additional shade for the team and spectator areas. If any families have canopy tents that they are willing to bring for the team to use for this meet, please let us know. Ideally we need to borrow 2-3. email [email protected]
Thanks everyone! Go Tritons!
