The Livorna Dolphins are excited to announce our Second Annual Friday Night Lights Fall Invitational, to be held on Friday September 26th! This is an invitational that we’re hosting at Livorna Pool, for community building, extra chances to swim, and as a fundraiser for our team! We will have swimmers from TEN other teams attending: Rancho Colorados, Las Trampas, Pleasant Hill Aquatics, AquaKnights, Roundhill, Indian Valley, Woodlands, Rudgear, Larkey, and Del Amigo! 

MEET INFORMATION:

Please Note: There will be NO Clerk of the Course -- PLEASE MARK YOUR SWIMMERS; PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING SWIMMERS TO THE BLOCKS if they cannot line up themselves

Warm Ups

LIV’s warm ups will be from 3:30-3:45pm in lanes 1, 2, and 3.

Team Areas

LIV’s Team Area will be in the southwest corner of the pool, near where the grill was this summer. Both shade structures will have bleachers under them that anyone can use! Please avoid hanging out behind the blocks and under the pergola behind the blocks (area in green).

Events/Heat Sheets

• Heat sheets will be published on the Livorna website (under the Events Page) and in Swimtopia app on Thursday night (9/25)
• Time drops code is 2025
• The timeline will be very tight due to the number of swimmers and the number of entries with “No Time” (a lot of swimmers will be swimming their events for the very first time, which is part of the fun of this meet!)

• Parents and coaches are responsible for getting little ones to the blocks on time. Livorna will have a lane clerk who will ring a bell for younger swimmers to get ready/ head to the blocks and we will try to make announcements too.
• All events will be mixed gender and swum slowest to fastest. Swimmers with no entry time for that event will be seeded by age, youngest to oldest.
• We will hopefully do at least one heat of deck-entered (fun!) relays if we have enough time to do so. Last year we did a “Football Relay” (push the football down the pool).

Snack Shack

The Tacqueria Los Gallos truck will be on site serving Taco Plates and Quesadilla plates, and we will have other goodies, including candy and shave ice, at the LIV Snack Shack!

Raffle/Merch
