- The forecast is calling for lots of sunshine and very HOT temperatures tomorrow. Plus, the water in the pool is very warm and your swimmer will be sweating even when they are in the water. Please make sure you and your swimmer are hydrating and find/bring some shade at the pool. Drinking extra water throughout the day and not just during the meet really does help with hydration. 

- Since this is our last home meet for the season, we will be recognizing our graduating senior swimmers at event 35/shift change with a "Senior Swim" to celebrate our big Crocs and wish them well in their future adventures!

- Please help our visitors feel welcome by helping families find a place to park or a place to sit at the pool, giving directions to the clerk of course, restrooms, concessions, etc. :)

- Parking is limited near the pool - you can park along the Boulevard - but NOT inside the traffic circle/roundabout - thank you!

- Bring towel, swimsuit, goggles, sharpies, money, sunscreen, bug spray, dry clothes. Optional items - camping chairs, small tents, blankets, small coolers. Smoking and alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the pool area during all GKAISA meets.

- The list of events for your swimmer will be posted at the baby pool, so please check for it when you arrive. Parents can also download and print a Heat Sheet from the Meets & Events section of the website on the afternoon of the meet.

- 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. :)

- 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.

- WCST Concession stand will be open in the pavilion serving grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, snacks, candy and drinks.
