Specifics for SPAC 1A Championship Meet 1/28

Seating will be very slim because there will be two conference meets going on at the same time.  

We will be swimming on the dive well side of the pool tonight.

Swimmers will be on the bleachers at the end by the dive well and then there will be a section blocked off for parents. You might want to bring chairs.

Gate is still $7 and $1 for a heat sheet. 

Parking will be limited so please have your parents arrive early to get a spot close to the pool. 

We will need timers for the meet. We will request that we do not have two parents from the same school on the same lane since we are doing this meet old school without the Colorado system.

We will honor seniors at the end of the meet by calling them out. LCS did get flowers for our swimmers.
