Good morning Sharks!

We are looking forward to our first meet at Palisades Country Club. Please read this entire email, as it has a lot of information.

Please arrive by 6:30am. This will allow us time to set up and be ready for warm ups, that begin at 7:00am. Please mark your swimmers before you arrive. You can find instructions on marking by clicking here.

What to bring:

2 towels
Activities to fight boredom
Healthy snacks
Water bottles

The pool is located at 13417 Grand Palisades Parkway. Click here for the map. Read below for instructions provided by the Palisades swim coach

For meets at the Palisades…we have construction going on all along the far side of our tennis complex parking lot. It is fenced off, but the fence should be open during meets for cars to park in the row closest to the building. There are two new gravel lots to make up for the lost parking spaces, one where the grass tennis court was (you probably walked by it coming from the parking lot in previous years) and one at the top of the paved parking lot along the pickleball courts. We will have a Parking Attendant directing swim meet traffic for all meets at our pool. But, please strongly encourage your families to carpool if possible. If any of them happen to live close by and have a golf cart, please encourage them to drive it. There is now dedicated golf cart parking outside of and along the fence behind our starting blocks (on the Grand Palisades Parkway end of the pool). Once the parking lot is full, cars will be directed to drop their swimmer(s) off at the tennis complex and proceed down to street to park in the country club upper lot. You will need to walk back from there, so getting to our pool early is beneficial.

We will have concessions for purchase - sports drinks and snacks. Cash only.

For this Sunday’s meet, the River Hills swimmers can sit along the fence by our baby pool (and inside the baby pool area). The Palisades swimmers will be in a roped off area by the slides on the far side of the pool. All parents can sit around the shallow end of our pool (non-starting block side).

The following volunteer spots are still needed:

Assistant Clerk of Course
3 second half timers

Due to the location of our swimmers, the tents may not be able to be set up. If someone is wiling to bring them, please reach out to me. If there is room, then we can set them up.

The heat sheet is attached to this document. If it won't open, you can also find it by clicking here.

Important Reminder - your child should remain in the team area until they have completed all of their events. At the end of the meet, please clean up after yourself. Let's leave it better than we found it!

We will see everyone in the morning!

Go Sharks!
