Hello PW Demons and Families!

Let the swim fun begin--our first meet is today!

Here is what you need to know:

Location: Country Glen Swim and Tennis Club, 10055 Glen Rd, Potomac, MD 20854

They have a reasonable size parking lot, but it will fill up; if it is full, park next door at Wayside Elementary School.

Arrival Time: 5:00 We will gather on the right side when you walk in, towards the back when you enter the pool. There will be a team area for the swimmers towards the far end of the pool near the grass; do not worry parents--your kids are in good hands with our PW coaches and older swimmers!

The swimmers will warm up at 5:20; they need to be there early so that coaches know who is there and get them organized.

Meet Theme: To build excitement each week, we have a different theme. This week's theme is Western. Get into the spirit and dress up! Work with what you have -- put those bandanas to work!

Food: Country Glen has a snack bar that serves hamburgers, hot dogs, and other dinner food items, as well as snacks. They accept cash and credit cards.

Volunteers: Thank you to those of you that signed up to help! Please check in with me when you get there for your lanyard and instructions. I will be at a table on the right side of the pool. We cannot run this meet without you--if you can't make it, please let us know in advance. Please also note that as a volunteer, you need to stay to the end of the meet, even if your swimmer is done for the evening.

Officials and Timers: Meeting at 5:30 to go over roles, lane assignments, etc.

Hospitality: There will be hospitality (free food since you probably missed dinner) available for all volunteers at the break (after backstroke and before breaststroke). Country Glen usually sets this up by the baby pool.

Ribbons: All fourteen and under swimmers will receive ribbons for their participation in Wednesday night meets. PLEASE do not try to get these ribbons at the meet; it makes it hard for the volunteers to get their jobs done. ALL RIBBONS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE WEEKLY FRIDAY TEAM MEETING. There are file boxes with folders for each swimmer; the ribbons will be in the swimmers' folders.

Meet Program: The program is attached and available on the PW swim team website. If you would like a print copy, please print one prior to coming to the pool.

Kickboard Race: 5:50 PM (gather at 5:40 by the baby pool). Be ready to cheer on our youngest Demons!

Meet Start time: 6 PM

Let's have fun and cheer on PW Demons in their first official meet of the 2026 season!
