We will also be doing FLYOVER STARTS for all swimmers 11 and up.

SPECTATORS: Spectators are allowed to view from the pool deck from Baby pool side ONLY (Little Blue Rectangle seen in the picture). No parent spectators on the ready bench side of the pool. Please do not crowd the timers or cross over behind the starting swimmers. We need to keep the Amenities Center cleared for moving swimmers from the Ready Bench to pool. Please no chairs on the deck as they end up blocking the movement of swimmers and spectators. There is space around the outside of the pool fence on the east and west sides to view from as well.

PEOPLE TRAFFIC FLOW: The Entrance for swimmers and volunteers is the gate at the north (parking lot-facing) side of the pool ONLY. Parents are not supposed to enter through the swimmer entrance. To Exit the pool area use the east (street-facing) side at the walk-through gate. Please see the Pool Layout below. Swimmers and badged volunteers only through the parking lot gate.

CONCESSIONS: Concessions will be available at the Gazebo adjacent to the parking lot (north of the pool). We will have coffee, breakfast taco, other refreshments, and lunch concessions.

Please reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing all you ROCKERS Saturday morning bright and early at our home pool.
