• Slide Pool/Lap Pool - there is absolutely no one allowed in the slide pool during the meet; similarly all swimmers (and other children) must stay out of the lap pool (including the stairwell!) unless they are actively swimming their event. We will ask any parents/swimmers to leave the deck who do not comply with this rule, the safety of our swimmers is the utmost importance.
