Hello Dolphins,

Concessions:

Parking:
We ask parents to park in the lower lot near the soccer fields. When you enter the Y, please follow the swim meet parking signs. There will be very limited spots if you need closer parking to the building.
Entrance to the indoor pool:
No need to go into the building tomorrow. If you are facing the front of the YMCA, you will need to walk all the way to the left side of the building. Once you get there, we have a path that will lead you to the side door of the indoor pool. We will have signs to direct you to that entrance.
Spectator and swimmer areas:
For this meet, we ask all swimmers to sit on the side of the pool closest to the bathrooms. This will be our team area. A parent will be in our team area calling swimmers for their event.
All other spectators will sit on the other side of the pool, where the bleachers are. We are allowing chairs in certain areas on the pool deck. Please bring your chair as we do have limited seating. We will have overflow seating if any spectators would like to sit outside while they wait for their swimmer’s next event.
Adult restrooms:
To follow our Youth and teen safety policy that we have in place. We have portable restrooms located outside for our adults. Swimmers are allowed to use the restrooms that are in the building.
Volunteers still needed:
Parents, we still need 7 more volunteers for the meet. I have opened the volunteer sign-up again; it will close at 12:00 PM.
- 1 timer for the first half
- 4 timers for the second half
- 2 staging/ bullpen for the whole meet
Lastly, I have attached the heat sheet and the swimmer check-in sheet to make it easier to find your swimmer's event, heat and lane. Please have your swimmers’ events written on their arm or leg and their last name and age on their left shoulder. To make for an easy check-in process, please have this done prior to arriving at the meet.
Go Dolphins!
