Here are things you need to know for our away meet at Crestwood Pool (8740 Fox Lonas Rd NW) this TUESDAY 7/10:

- It takes approx. 15 minutes to get to Crestwood Pool - 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.

- Crestwood tries to leave visiting team parking spaces in their lot, but after the lot is full, please park in the grass behind the pool. There will be signs directing traffic - please do not block access to the grassy area for other cars. Do not park on the street surrounding the pool. Cars may stop to unload at the gate on the way to the “field” behind the tennis courts.

- Our team area is in the grassy area between lane 1 and the tennis courts. Please keep the concrete deck along pool clear for coaches, officials, and workers.

WCST Weather Pollicy

WCST Swim Practices and Meets continue as scheduled in rainy weather - so please prepare your swimmer - and always bring rain gear to meets when rain is in the forecast.

In case of thunderstorms, the pool will be cleared for 30 minutes at the first clap of thunder - for the safety of all swimmers and coaches. The coaches will decide whether to continue the practice or meet based on time remaining and weather forecast. Please be prepared to pick up your swimmer early from practice or have a carpool plan in stormy weather.

Meets that are stopped due to stormy weather before event 40 - and unable to resume - will be rescheduled. After event 40, meets may be rescheduled or considered a complete meet - the coaches of both teams will meet and make the call.
