New parents and swimmers.  You will hear the phrase, "stay away form the creek" over and over at SMI.  Please keep your swimmers under the tent or with you at all times.  If you leave the tent area be sure to inform the team parent.  Team parents are not expected to go out of the tent area to locate a swimmer for his/her event.  Help make the volunteers' jobs easier by staying in our team area.
