Here are things you need to know for the Maryville/Alcoa Meet - Tues 6/12:

- It takes approx. 20 minutes to get to Springbrook Pool - at 636 Vose Road in Alcoa - so please plan accordingly. If your swimmer needs a ride to the pool because of parents' work schedules, you can check the WCST Family Directory on our website under the Resources tab to make arrangements with other parents.

- There is plenty of parking in front of Springbrook Pool, however, overflow parking can be found close by at Alcoa Elementary School.

- Please enter the Springbrook Pool to the right of the main entrance. WCST's team area will be behind the diving well. Swimmers are not allowed to enter the pool before their team warm-up begins.

- Meet schedule:

• 5:15pm Warmups for Swimmers - kids already need to be at the pool at 5:15pm dressed and ready to swim for warmups.

- Bring towel, swimsuit, goggles, sharpies, money, sunscreen, bug spray, dry clothes. Optional items - camping chairs, small tents, blankets, small coolers. 

- Please check the WCST Weather policy on the homepage of the website. We WILL swim in the rain - so definitely bring your rain gear if rain is in the forecast. If there is lightning/thunder in the area, the meet will take 30 minute breaks until it is safe to re-enter the water. 

- Swimmers will be assigned events based on what the team needs to score points - but the coaching staff does their best to let kids swim what they want to swim. :) And at any swim meet, please do not leave the swim meet without checking in first with the Head Coach - your swimmer may be needed on relays or to fill in for another swimmer. 

- The list of swimmers' events will be posted in our team area. Parents can also download and print a Heat Sheet from the Meets & Events section of the website on the afternoon of the meet. 

- The WCST Clerk of Course will be in our team area. Swimmers will get our cards from our lineup parents and will be responsible for getting to the MAFD starting area in time for their event.

- Meet concessions will be pizza and drinks and a couple of local food trucks with other options.

- After Meet Pizza Party at Pero's - Unlimited pizza buffet plus spaghetti, salad, and sodas or tea. Adult beverages available - but at an additional cost.

- Ribbons will be given out at practice on Wednesday morning - unless otherwise notified - and are placed in a folder with your last name.
