I want to pass along a little information before tonight's meet.

1. The pool gates will open at 5:00, and warm-up will begin at 5:10, which is earlier than our understanding with Rigedside. Don't worry if you can't arrive until 5:30. We will run warm-ups until 5:50.
2. We will be in lanes 3 & 4 (They are a 4-lane pool).
3. The pool's address is 300 Shepherd Avenue. This one-way street at 101 Ridgeside Road can be hard to find.…., but if you turn down it, you will find the pool. Parking is limited at the pool, so please know that you can park on Hilldale Drive or Ridgeside Road. There are paths leading to the pool. Directions can be found HERE.
4. There are some tables, chairs, and shaded areas, but you will want to bring additional seating and blankets for the pool deck.
5. Their concession will be open, and the menu will include burgers, hot dogs, sides, and all the traditional concession stand drinks and candy!
6. We will distribute swim caps tonight before warm-ups.

What to Bring

Swimmers:

Spectators:
