2018 Brushy Creek - Away
Red Team Families -
School is out, we've had a full week of summer practice and we are ready to go for our 3rd meet of the season!
"Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable!" ~ Eric Jerome Dickey
Unfortunately we had MANY late swimmers and volunteers at the last meet. There are numerous cogs to the wheel that make a meet successful and one of those key elements is getting swimmers checked in on time. I know it sounds trivial but late swimmers cause a considerable amount of work for Coach Kay and our Computer volunteers which may ultimately delay the meet. We've got a little later start time this week and the sun may even be up; so please plan to arrive on time:)

PARKING:
It is very important that we follow their parking map as the team has a very strained relationship with their HOA and MUD. Marlin volunteers and the Sheriff's dept will be patrolling the vicinity. Citations may be issued & vehicles may be towed by Williamson County without any warning.
Parking priority is as follows:
- Pool Parking/Angled parking on Sendero Springs Drive
- Hatch House parking lot (3 minute walk to the pool)
- Specified and limited neighborhood parking - ONLY if necessary. Do not park in the cul-de-sac next to the pool.
Brushy Creek also asks that everyone please watch their speed in the neighborhood. The Parking plan includes angled parking along a busy street that families will be crossing.
MEET ABSENCES:
- Report any full or partial meet absences by utilizing the Report a Meet Absence tab on the upper right hand corner of the Red Team website
