Swimmers must be at the Shady Hollow pool by 7:15 AM. Our warm ups will be 7:45 - 08:15 - Lanes 1-6. Meet Format: This will be a 6-lane meet using the following format (girls first): IM (Individual Medley) Freestyle Relay Backstroke Freestyle Medley Relay Breast Butterfly Remember that Shady Hollow's pool is a 25-meter pool, so everyone's time will be 6 feet slower. Our younger swimmers may be very upset then their time seems to get worse instead of better. On deck meetings at 8:10 AM Timers: meet at junction of short wall and Baby Pool wall Stroke and Turn Judges: meet near ramp to Baby Pool and picnic tables Ready Bench: meet at ready bench tent Runners: meet at bottom of steps in front of Concessions Ribbons: meet at ribbons desk near front gate Hospitality: meet under big tree, steps side Traffic flow on deck: * 25 m events will feed from Ready Bench to the shallow end of pool (parking lot end) * 50 m events will feed from Lane 6 side of pool near the short wall (swimmers will be walked around deep end of pool from Ready Bench) * All swimmers will exit pool to the right towards Lane 1 to receive heat winner ribbons. * Please, no foot traffic at Timer's end of pool! Traffic can flow over the hill through the Baby Pool. Note: The Baby Pool is closed during swim meets, only to be used as walk through. The meet will start at 8:30 AM sharp! There will not be any deck entries or last minute changes to heat sheets (only if there has been a computer entry error that needs to be corrected). Final heat sheets should be available by 5:00 PM on Friday. Reminder, we are responsible to bring our own heat sheets. Shady Hollow has 3 large open sided tents set up for shade for visiting teams, but they recommend bringing extra pop ups. Shady Hollow will have a concessions stand with breakfast tacos and coffee as well as hot dogs, hamburgers, brisket sandwiches later in the morning, and the usual drinks and snacks. Once the parking lot fills up at the pool, feel free to park along the streets near the pool.

Our parents are also invited to put together a relay team for a parent's race as well. The timers will be given a break between Freestyle (Event 26) and Medley Relays (Event 27) and take a few minutes for some fun, so bring your suits! We will decide at the meet if we want to do 25's or 50's per swimmer, freestyle, or medley. The meet is targeted to have the final event completed by 1:30 so we can clean up and turn the pool over to the Homeowners immediately after the meet. A better finish time estimate will be known on Friday after the heat sheets are compiled.
