🔴⚪🔵 Happy 4th of July, Gregory’s Pond! It’s Meet Day at home! 🔵⚪🔴

Grab your red, white, and blue, your sparklers, and your stars and stripes—tomorrow’s theme is FOURTH OF JULY / PATRIOTIC! 🇺🇸✨

📄 Heat sheets will be posted on our website when they’re ready 🔴 We still need volunteers! (Be a true American hero and help us out!)

⛈️ We are watching the weather. At this point we have adjusted our warm up schedule slightly and combined as many events as possible. If the meet goes on a weather delay please do not leave to go home unless we notify you the meet is over. If the storm passes through then we will continue the meet once it is safe to do so (30 minutes after the last thunder clap). We will be in communication with you through swimtopia. If we decide to end the meet we will notify you through swimtopia and then reschedule the rest of the meet to Wednesday evening starting at the event where we stopped for weather. Please watch your phone for updates and communicate with our Parent Rep, Sara Moody (804) 822-5603, if you leave before your events so that our coaches can make all necessary adjustments. Thank you!

🚗 Parking

Please help us keep things running smoothly by filling the parking lot behind the tennis courts first. Our volunteers will be available to direct parking.

If the lot becomes full, parking is permitted only on the south side of Kingussle Lane so emergency vehicles can safely access the area if needed.

🪑 Seating

• Please leave the area under the pavilion open for our visiting team.
• Families are encouraged to bring extra chairs and blankets for seating.

⭐ Special Events

We will have a glow party for our team after the meet! We have some glow sticks but feel free to bring extra glow sticks for the pool!
