Seating and Viewing Information: -Our team will be seated in the field. Before 5 pm, you can access the field from Tarbert Drive. After 5 pm, the back gate will be open and you can also access the field from the main gate.
-We heard great things about allowing 11 and ups to sit together last week. So, we are going to allow 11 and ups to sit together again this meet on the back side of the pool deck behind the coaches. Please remind your swimmers to be respectful, give the coaches plenty of room and to pick up their trash.
-You can view your swimmer from the hill in the field or from the area behind the large slide. Please do not gather in the area at the finish line. The exception to this is that 6 and under swimmers and Sea Pups can have one parent wait for them at the finish line. This area serves as a walkway and timing area ONLY.
-Swimmers are allowed to cheer for their teammates from the area behind the large slide.
-Please do not stand or use the wooden decks as walkways- the exception to this is for handicapped seating.
-Please do not sit on or move any deck furniture.
Clerk of Course for our team will be near the diving well this week. This allows for easy access from the field for our swimmers. Silverton will be seated on the deck behind the small slide and the tennis courts and will be clerking by the small slide. Their viewing area is behind the shallow end.
Concessions will be located in the same area as last week. There will be pizza and Chick-fil-A. Larger quantities have been ordered since we sold out last week! We will have specialty kettle corn from our sponsor, Pedal to the Kettle! Yum! Be sure to try it!
Pelican's will also on site with flavored shaved ice! They accept cash and card!
