If you miss our time for warm-ups there will be no warming up. Swimmers need to come in their swimsuits and googles (if wearing them) Remember, you CANNOT wear any suit or cap with another team name or logo.

If for some reason you have RSVP’d yes, but your child is sick and cannot attend, please let me know via text ASAP.

Parking:

The parking lot in front of the pool will be closed. Please park along the road and follow the signs indicating where to park. The tennis courts and the spillway are off limits. Please let your children know and watch the for their safety.

Seating and Bullpens:

Our seating and bullpens will be set up on the side with the baby pool.

Please allow room for the other team under the patio and behind the lane lines this is where they will have their bullpen and guest seats.

If you have a 5-6 and 7-8 swimmer, please have them sit in the bullpen area. This allows our bullpen volunteers and coaches to find these swimmers faster for their events.

Please bring a sharpie to write your lane and heats!

When you arrive, please see the coaches to check in so they can hand out an event slip. This will give you the assignments to write with the sharpie. You can also use the SwimTopia app ahead of time to see your child’s events and even track their times throughout the season. More details for the app can be found at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swimtopia/id881521818

We have an awesome concession stand. We have fresh salad, grilled chicken skewers, BBQ topping scoop, baked potatoes, hamburgers/cheeseburgers, BBQ sandwiches, hot dogs, pizza, chips, candy, sweets, and drinks. Our concession takes cash or Venmo.
