What time do my swimmers need to be at the pool?
Please have your swimmer at the pool with googles and cap on, ready to swim by 4:30. We will warm up first. Note that no one will be allowed in the pool before 4:15 to allow for enough time to clean up before the meet.
What do I need to bring?
Cap and googles, your swimmer, towels, warm clothes to wear between events, a Sharpie to write your swimmer's events on her or his hand. Healthy dinner and snacks and your own chairs are always helpful. 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 pool blocking the view. Share your space, realizing that there isn't enough space if every family were to bring a tent.
Where do I park?
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. 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 and leave the Washington Park lots to the visiting teams if at all possible.
How do I sign up for volunteer jobs?
I'm so glad you asked! We still need some help. Use the signup genius. We could also use some committee help during the week, so please email swordfishswimteam@gmail.com if you'd like to join the fun! All families are expected to provide one person to work at least half of every meet. If you have special needs (young kids, physical limitations, etc) there is still lots you can do to help out.
All timers and potential timers, please take a few minutes and watch the timing video that JSL has made.
Please check in at the volunteer table so we know you've arrived!
GO SWORDFISH!
