MEET # 4 IS JUST A FEW HOURS AWAY!

Here are a few housekeeping items.

Please try to arrive at pool location by 5pm for team prep work and warmups. Meet will start at 6pm.

Please plan to stay for the final relays as well. If this is your first meet, the coaches will explain to your swimmer and to our bullpen volunteers how the relays work.

PLEASE PLAN ROUTES ACCORDINGLY FOR TRAFFIC! This is our first meet straight east, and traffic can build up around the 285 exits.
