Notes below from our hosting team.  When you arrive at the YMCA:

• Please enter the YMCA via the ramp by the outdoor pool. You will see a sign pointing you in this direction.
• Check-in your swimmer at the check-in table. The table will be located in the Rock Wall area. Volunteers will also check-in at the table and get their name tag.
• Direct your swimmer to the basketball gym to set up where they want to sit and get ready for warm-ups.
  • Please DO NOT sit in front of the doors by the Rock Wall where the swimmers will line up. The green cushion chairs will be in that area to reserve it for staging the swimmers. The green cushions chairs are NOT for the swimmers (or families) to sit on or play on top of. 

General information about the meet:

• Swimmers may NOT be dropped off for the meet. A parent must be present and stay for the duration of the meet.
• All swimmers MUST sit in the basketball gym. This is where the swimmers' names will be called for lining up for events. The Bullpen parents will not call names outside the gym or go looking for swimmers. Swimmers may NOT sit with families outside of the gym. Families ARE welcome to sit in the gym.
• ABSOLUTELY NO RUNNING IN THE GYM!!! I cannot stress this enough! The floor gets slippery and we don't want anyone getting hurt.
• Families may sit in the basketball gym with the swimmers. Please DO NOT use the Rock Wall area to enter/exit the gym. This area is reserved for lining up swimmers.
• There will also be limited seating areas upstairs and downstairs by the windows at the pool.
• Parents MAY NOT sit on the pool deck for the duration of the meet. We will have a crowd control volunteer monitoring the pool deck.
• When it is your swimmer's event, you are welcome to walk onto the pool deck (via the door by the Family Locker Rooms) to watch his/her event. Please exit the pool deck when your swimmer's event is over.
• You are free to leave the meet when your swimmer is finished swimming his/her events. Please make sure to pick up all belongings and pick up any trash.
  • Please do NOT leave the meet early before your swimmer has completed his/her events. Last meet there were swimmers who left early and caused relays to have to be forfeited.
• Parents may NOT enter the Boys or Girls locker rooms. If your swimmer needs assistance, please use the Family Locker Room area.
  • Do NOT take your swimmer into the Men's or Women's locker rooms. These locker rooms are reserved for persons 18 years and older. Last meet there were multiple parents taking their swimmers into the Women's locker room.
• We will have Concessions for sale at the meet (water, Gatorade, snacks and fruit). All items will be $0.50-$2.00. Concessions will be CASH ONLY. Please bring small bills. The Concessions volunteers will not be able to make change for a $20 bill. :) The Concessions table will be located in the Rock Wall area.
• Results will be posted in Swimtopia when they are available. Ribbons for the top 8 finishers in each event will be available at practice, as soon as possible.
