PRACTICES

Monday - Thursday: Normal practice
Friday: Fun Swim

TIE DYE TUESDAY June 27 - Brookings Pool AFTER each practice

Cost is $3 per t-shirt and $6 for a towel or sweatshirt payable in cash/check/venmo that day. Swimmers will bring items to dye - white team shirt from registration is an easy option. Prep ahead by prewashing your items and write your name on the tags. You can rubberband your item beforehand or we will have rubberbands on hand if you prefer to complete this step with teammates. Bring a plastic bag or two to put your item in after dyeing. If you have several items, a plastic tub might help protect your car on the way home. We will provide royal blue and turquoise dye, after-care instructions and detergent. Everyone can show off their creation at the meet on Thursday.

CRASH AREA - All swimmers, parents and spectators must sit 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.

SPECTATORS - Come in and watch your swimmer, then please make room for the next family. The north and south gates will be both an entrance and an exit, but should remain closed at all times. ***A friendly reminder that no parents are allowed behind the blocks and NO ALCOHOL is all allowed on premises.
