Important Details:

• The pool closes and set-up begins at 4 PM.  A timers meeting that includes finish and stroke and turn judges occurs around 5:40. Please listen for the announcement.
• When your swimmers arrive at the pool, please make sure they go to the picnic table near the staging area to highlight their names for check-in. Skyline sets up across the pool on the side with the tennis courts.
• Volunteers – just like your swimmer, we need you to sign in. We will have this sign-in at the very first round table when you walk in the door. Look for a blue clipboard. 
• There is no charge for this meet.
• If your swimmer can't be at the meet at the last minute due to illness or emergency, text Coach Barb ASAP 717-203-2115
• Make sure your swimmer has used the bathroom before they swim.
• They are not to be running around or on the playground.
• Swimmers (or parents if a younger swimmer) should listen and know when staging.
• Parking - the parking lot will get full so it's good to carpool. Remember not to park at the Eden. You can park in the complex next door once everything has closed down for the night.
• Also remember to clean up your area and collect anything you might have brought (including crockpots, etc. in concessions)
• If you signed up to bring concession items, please bring them directly to our concessions table when you arrive.
