Parking for home meets is always an issue. The City Recreation director makes the following request:
In the past, we have received complaints from the Washington Park Pool neighborhood concerning swim meet patrons parking in front of homes on Charlton and Henry Avenue. We are asking for voluntary compliance with not parking along Henry or Charlton Avenue. You may park in the upper or lower Washington Park lots (upper located next to pool on 10th St, lower accessed from Preston Ave across from Madison Ave). You may also park at Burley Middle School at Henry Street and Rose Hill Drive (map). The police will be enforcing parking laws will necessary and will offer assistance. Out of respect for the neighborhood residents, we ask both teams to consider that you may be inconveniencing a homeowner when parking. Thank you and best of luck!
As a team, we ask that City families park at Burley Middle School (map) and leave the Washington Park lots to the visiting teams if at all possible.
Remember, if you erect a tent, please be mindful of the space you are taking. Do not erect a tent near the edge of the poo blocking the view. Share your space, realizing that there isn't enough space if every family were to bring a tent.
In addition to t-shirts, we will also BEACH TOWELS available for order! These towels are thick, large towels in a Caribbean blue, with our swordfish logo and your swimmer’s name embroidered on them. They will cost $25, to be paid at the time of ordering. Leah Foradori will be taking orders and will have a towel so that you can see the quality. All orders must be received by THIS FRIDAY. We think you will be very happy with these beautiful towels. Much thanks to Lisa Grove for all her hard work in tracking down a vendor and setting up the order and Leah for managing the ordering.
As usual, please use sign up genius to sign up for a meet job.
It’s not too early to begin thinking about the Champs meet. Remember that ALL SWIMMERS are needed for this meet - as long as your swimmer has competed in two regular season meets, your swimmer should be going to Champs. We need to do well there to retain our Division II ranking, and need our whole team. More information will be coming out, but mark your calendar for the 27th and 28th of July (note - each swimmer will only swim on one day. More specific scheduling information will be available soon.)
GO SWORDFISH!
