Happy Wednesday!

We are so excited and hope you are, too, to host our second meet of the summer. As we make final preparations for Old Pike Sharks arrival, we wanted to send information about the meet as well as a link to Swim Meet 101 for a quick run down for families that may need a refresher or are new to the Stingrays.

Meet Theme - Superheroes

Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Black Widow,...Aquaman??? Bring your superhero powers to the pool tomorrow and celebrate another wonderful week of swim.

Crash Areas and Seating

• All swimmers, parents and spectators must sit outside of the fenced-in area. Families will be allowed crash on grassy areas on the outside the fence.
• Please make sure to bring tarps or blankets that you don't mind getting dirty as the crash area can be damp. Tents are welcome in the grassy area. We also recommend mosquito repellent.
• PLEASE STAY OFF THE LANDSCAPE. (Bushes, landscape pavers, rocks, and mulch)
• The POOL chairs that are plastic may NOT be used at swim meets! Please do not touch these stacked chairs.
• Willow Farms has installed a smoking bench. They're asking that we stay off that grassy area and away from the smoking bench when crashing. It is only for smokers and if you are a smoker please deposit your butt in the receptacle provided.

Accessing the Pool Deck

Spectators will be allowed to come in and watch their swimmer swim, and then please make room for the next swimmer's family. The south gate will be both an entrance and an exit, but it must remain closed at all times. The north gate (near the Cabana) will be an exit only gate. It is a key card entry gate only. The stairs from the pool deck will be open to go to the Cabana for concession. A friendly reminder that no parents are allowed behind the blocks.

Parking

Parking is available along the streets near the pool – for example, N. Lydia Ave. However, there is NO parking on the Pool (east) side from the south gate to the first house. That is POOL SIDE ONLY. This area will be blocked and flagged off. Our parking lot is for Officials, Handicap, Coaches, and our VIP parking from our silent auction fundraiser.

Concessions

We will have wonderful concessions for sale in the pool cabana and Lilo’s Shaved Ice in the parking lot. Heat sheets will also be available for sale on the pool deck by the south gate for $1.00 each.
