Why are there two ready bench locations? (See PDF Attached)

Kids 11 and older swim 50 yards (down and back). They start at the same end as the timers. The Sharks use Ready Bench 1 for all their events including relays. Kids 10 and under swim 25 yards. They start on the opposite end from the timers. They use Ready Bench 2 for their individual events. For their relays the kids 10 and under teams are split up. Swimmers #1 and #3 are at ready bench 1. Swimmers #2 and #4 are at ready bench 2.

Parking: Parking is very limited. Bring the wagon... it might be a long walk! Please be good to the neighbors and do not block driveways. Also, remember not to park in crosswalks, intersections or near fire hydrants as APD has ticketed in the past. 

**NOTE: Newly added NO PARKING signs have been posted along Republic of Texas on both sides of the street. Please be aware of this new parking restriction.

Concessions: The Shark Shack serves a full breakfast and lunch menu. Breakfast begins around 7:30. The Sharks have breakfast tacos (with a full salsa bar), assorted donuts and pastries from Donut Taco Palace, sausage wraps, jumbo hot dogs, 1/3 lb. hamburgers and cheeseburgers, Beyond Burgers, Double Dave’s pizza, Jersey Mike subs and, hot off our grill, fully-loaded chicken fajita tacos and pulled pork nachos. There will be plenty of beverages, including Summer Moon coffee and assorted cold drinks. They will also have sweet and salty snacks, fruit, and desserts, including brownies, Island Way sorbet, and other cold treats. 

As always, if you have any questions, please reach out!
