Parking

They have a small parking lot. They have provide a map for parking which is attached as well as after my signature in this email. They will have signs and volunteers to assist with parking.  Please make sure you do not park in the red areas. 

Volunteers & Swimmer Check In: We are short on volunteers and Trey might be reaching out to move some of you around.  We are sorry to have to do this, but we have set positions that must be covered. 

• Check-in: Under the Red State Farm tent between 4:15–4:30 PM for both shifts.
• 1st shift: Events #1–43
• 2nd shift: Events #44–86 

Weather Plan

The Coaches and Team Representatives from both teams are watching the weather for Thursday. We will keep you posted on any changes. 

If bad weather rolls in, please DO NOT leave. Most storms pass quickly and we wait it out. If thunder or lightning occurs, you’ll be asked to wait in your car until the lifeguards clear the deck. All updates will come through SwimTopia—make sure you have the app downloaded.

Bullpens

Swimmer tents will be set up between their pool and tennis court area.  This area has grass.  Does anyone have an extra tarp? We need 7 tarps as I have one. I was informed by other teams that the area can get muddy if it rains during the week. (If we can get tarps under the tents, it will cut down on the kids getting muddy.)  Also pack bug spray with the grass and water nearby it can become a problem. 

Concessions

• They will have pizza, BBQ Sandwiches, hamburger, hotdogs, chips, candy & drinks for purchase. 
• Credit card or cash
