Hosting Team Notes - Important! PLEASE READ
We have parking on-site for the meet both in front of, and behind the pool. The lot directly behind the Legacy pool is reserved for officials, Park and Rec. Employees, and key meet staff. If we need additional parking, there is space within the park across the street, and on the opposite side of Brahan Spring Lake to park, with a convenient walking trail between the parking lot and the pool. Please remind your families to drive slowly and patiently through the lots.
No folding or camp chairs are allowed inside the facility, as well as hard-sided coolers. Stadium chairs are fine. They ask that swimmers and families not "set-up" in the lobby areas. Respect the Handicapped seating areas. NO "reserving seats" in the spectator or athlete seating areas. No athletes should climb over the rail in the competition pool. All bleachers will be closed after each session for cleaning. Please take all personal items with you at the end of each session.
There is a large tent set-up behind the Legacy pool for athlete and spectator seating. The tents are equipped with numerous fans that MUST NOT BE MOVED. The area is grassy/muddy and we have had some rain, so if you would like to bring tarps to lay down you can. However, Remeber to BE NICE, WORK TOGETHER (EVEN WITH PARENTS FROM OTHER TEAMS), AND BE EFFICIENT WITH THE SPACE. Folding and camp chairs are welcome in this area, as well as coolers. Ignore any markings on the group under the tent, they are residual markings from a meet last week.
Due to the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy updates, all locker rooms that are adjacent to the Competition pool and the bathrooms on the diving board end of the Legacy pools will be ATHLETE ONLY. Coaches, Officials, and Spectators will use the concourse bathrooms, the family restrooms, the Legacy pool locker rooms closest to the Competition pool, and the Legacy pool lobby bathrooms. Please ask your swimmers to only use the Locker rooms for all of their needs.
There will be CASHLESS concessions available throughout the meet.
Clerk of Course for the 13 & over pool will be located directly beside the turn end in the Competition pool, which will be in the corner near the South end of the pool. C of C for the Legacy pool will be at the main timing table. Each pool’s clerk of course will handle positive check-in, relay cards, and finals scratches for each pool.
In the Lewis Family Legacy pool, all events will begin in the diving well end. For the Competition Pool, all events will start on the window end, except for the 50’s, which will start at the Flag end.
Swimmers will need to provide their own timer and lane counter for the mile session.
No parents are allowed on the pool deck unless they are acting as a counter (or timer for the mile) for their swimmer. Those parents should check-in at the coaches, volunteer, and swimmer entrance prior to the event.
