Meet Info for Shady Hollow June 4th - arrive 7am

Directions to the Shady Hollow pool:  http://www.capitalcitysummerleague.com/pdfs/mapshadyhollow.pdf

Shady Hollow Pool

Reminder, each team is responsible to bring your own heat sheets for your volunteers.  Shady Hollow will provide stop watches and DQ slips.

Baby pool is closed during swim meets, only to be used as walk through.

They will have 3 large open sided tents (10' X 20') set up for shade for visiting teams, but if you have extra pop ups, I'd recommend bringing them along, the forecast for this weekend is over 100 F.  They will have a concessions stand with breakfast tacos and coffee as well as hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausage wraps later in the morning, and the usual drinks and snacks.  Once the parking lot fills up at the pool, feel free to park along the streets near the pool.

One final note from Shady Hollow: "Across the parking lot from our pool is a tennis court.  In one of the oak trees along the backside of the tennis court we had a bee hive inside the tree.  The HOA GM informed me the hive has been cleared from the tree, however, a wood structure is in place holding a bee trap.  Please ask your swimmers to stay outside the yellow caution tape in that area.  There are still some residual bees, however, as much as I am at the pool, I didn't even know the hive was there.   Just wanted to bring this to your attention, this should not be a safety issue."

Meet at Hays Pool on May 28th - arrive at 7am

TEAM SEATING
They will have designated areas for teams OUTSIDE the pool area, trying to keep the pool area clear for swimmers and volunteers - LOOK FOR THE GREEN!!  They encourage parents to come watch their kids swim, then exit the pool area after their kids have swum.

Helpful Tips and Tricks for Meets

Returning parents...  feel free to add your ideas under "Post a Comment"!!

Arrive to "away" meets by 7am to set up and send swimmer to warm-ups.  Maps to "away" pools can be found on green links in Swim Meet Schedule section on home page.   For "home" meets in Belterra, arrive with swimmers ready to warm-up by 6:45am.

When you arrive to the host pool, look for the GREEN!!  Our team will be the sea of bright lime green t-shirts. 

Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and shade tent/canopy for your family if you have one.  Or share one with a friend if you'd like. 

You can sit anywhere you want but be sure you/your swimmer can see the Event Round-Up Tent and white board with what event is being called up.  

Pack snacks, sandwiches, and drinks in a cooler. Most pools have concessions with hot dogs, soda, snacks available too.

Label your swimmer's tshirt/cap/goggles/towel etc with their name.

Bring a sharpie to 'mark-up' your swimmer's arm with event/heat/lane for their races.  Please ask other parents for help if you are unsure how to "mark". 

Don't forget the sunscreen!   Spray sunscreen is best for swimmers so that it doesn't smear the marker - please put on sunscreen AFTER you have marked your swimmer.
