It will be HOT on Tuesday. Parents are welcome to wear swim suits and use outdoor showers to cool down when necessary.

Parking is tight, Southall families should carpool if possible and begin parking at the back of the lot closest to the tennis courts. Concessions are available at all meets (home and away), and you can bring your own snacks/water as well. Be sure to bring camping chairs as seating options at the pools fill up quickly.

Check-in procedures and TSA rules:

1. All parent volunteers (see below) should check in with Mary Elizabeth and receive a name tag upon arrival.
2. Swimmers should check in with their coaches as soon as they arrive. Please ensure that they are available for kid pushers to find easily throughout the meet. We have a lot of new kids and new parents this year!
3. No parents should be behind the swim blocks during a meet other than the volunteers doing Clerk of Course, Timing, or Kid Pushing. This is a TSA safety rule.
4. No alcoholic beverages of any kind, smoking, vaping, etc. are allowed during a TSA meet.
5. Any and all concerns or issues between teams should be addressed between TSA Reps.

Volunteers sign ups are below, go to Swimtopia to check your job and shift. There will be a volunteer meeting at 5.45pm to explain all jobs. Meets are run solely by volunteers. If you are unable to fulfill the role you signed up for please let organizers know by emailing [email protected].
