Hello Rapids families! Only two days away from DUSOs! We have some important information that was shared with us by the host team today, as well as a few reminders:

1. Parking lot will open at 6 AM on Saturday. There will be parking attendants directing cars. Coaches and Officials will have passes for designated parking areas and attendants will tell everyone else where they are permitted to park. 
2. Warm ups are 7-7:40 AM for the Rapids. Please arrive early so swimmers can check in with the coaches and be on deck and ready to swim by 7:00! Parent volunteers will check in with Tracy Steeves. 
3. The host team is NOT permitted to have concession. There will be food and drinks to purchase at the snack bar and families can bring their own coolers (no glass!)
4. The team tent is next to the pavilion (see attached map). NO POP UP TENTS PERMITTED!
5. The 50 meter pool will be used for warm-up and cool-down during the meet for swimmers who are 13 and older ONLY. 
6. The playground is OFF LIMITS to swimmers, and there will be parent volunteers monitoring the area. Non-swimmers who are 10 and under ONLY may use the playground, with parent supervision.
7. There will be spectator seating available (see attached map). Only officials and parent volunteers (timers, runners) may be on deck during the meet. 
8. There are no chaperones signed up for DUSO, so it is the parent's responsibility to ensure their child makes it to their events. 
9. Families are asked to pick up after themselves and ensure NO garbage is left behind. There will be garbage bags in our tent and we are asked to ensure the area is clean before we leave. 
10. Final reminder to sign up for the Splash Hop, if you are attending. Deadline to sign up is tomorrow at Noon! We need an accurate number for food order and bracelets for entry.

See everyone tomorrow for our last practice of the season! Team breakfast will be served!
