Hello MOC Otters!

The big meet is just a few days away. We are so excited to see our swimmers compete in the big leagues 😊 If you registered on the MOC website, you should have received an email today from the meet director with important details, including set up info. Make sure you read through the entire thing (I know, it’s long!) so you have all the info you need. Below are the highlights (and a link to preorder your MOC merch and have it shipped to you):

LOCATION
Roseville Aquatics Complex
3051 Woodcreek Oaks Blvd.
Roseville, CA 95747

The facility will open promptly at 6:30am each day. If you arrive early, please form an orderly line outside the main entrance.

TEAM AREAS & SET-UP
Teams can begin setting up their area on Saturday morning, not Friday night. PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK WALKWAYS/SIDEWALKS/DESIGNATED PATHS. We have two goals for our team set-up area: the first is behind the snack bar; second is outside the entrance. If you get there early, try to save some space. If you are confused, look at the set up photos with the MOC email, also attached here. Wherever you end up sitting, just make sure your swimmers get to their events on time. That’s always the first concern.

PARKING
Please refer to the facility map for reference. Basically, parking will be difficult, and we won’t really know what to expect til we get there. I would expect to walk pretty far to the car. Bring your wagon.

VOLUNTEERS
Please sign up for a volunteer shift here. You can time during one stroke, or pick anything else you like. They bring you snacks and water. This meet is run well, and fast. It will be over before you know it.

BLEACHERS FOR RACE VIEWING ONLY
The bleachers inside the facility will be used for race viewing only. Please don’t try to camp out there all day. You will be asked to leave.

CLOSED DECK IN CERTAIN AREAS
Please refer to the map for walking paths around the facility. The area behind the starting blocks will be a closed deck. This area will be for coaches and swimmers only. Please don’t try to sneak up behind your swimmer and film them. Yes, swimming at MOC is exciting and a big deal, but you will be asked to leave if you film from behind the blocks at any time. Go to the back of the pool, or the side, or live in the moment and watch live.

WARM-UP / COOL-DOWN
Warm-up begins at 7:00am both days. The competition lanes will close at 8:45am. There will be two warm-up areas for swimmers, which will be divided by age group. Warm-up and cool-down will be permitted throughout the entire day. There will be volunteers working as warm-up monitors throughout the weekend. Please show respect to all volunteers who are giving their time to help ensure a smooth weekend of competition.

VENDORS
Several vendors will be on site throughout the weekend. This includes Jolyn, NW Design (MOC merch, available for preorder here and will be shipped to you), Hagen's freeze, Smoothie Patrol, Puckerz lemonade, and a full snack bar. Please refer to the map for vendor locations.

That’s it. Everything will be on Meet Mobile, or a pysch sheet can be found on the MOC website. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Have a great week, and see you on deck!
