PARKING:

Please park in the lot at Elizabeth Milburn pool, or north of the pool entrance on Sunchase Blvd, according to the posted signage. There is a marked parking lane on both sides of the street about 20 feet from the pool entrance. Businesses surrounding the pool have been known to tow so please avoid parking in their lots. The police also often patrol the lot at Milburn to look for illegally parked cars (parked in fire lanes, on grassy areas, etc).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ

• No personal gear (tents, chairs, coolers, etc) is to be set-up inside the fenced pool area. The grassy space surrounding the pool has ample room for families to set-up camp. Parents with strollers are asked to not block the walking path on the pool deck as it gets crowded.
• Due to City Code CP must keep careful count of the number of spectators inside the pool fence. Once they have reached capacity the lifeguards will not allow any more people inside. We ask that all parents watch their swimmers race and then leave the pool area to make space for parents of swimmers in the next race
• The pool has a conversion factor of .914

MEET ABSENCES:

HEAT SHEETS/MEET ENTRIES:

• Heat Sheets and Meet Entries are posted under the Calendar section of the Red Team website. Please check the meet entries file that is posted along with the Heat Sheets. This will tell you what events (including heat and lane) your swimmer is in. Relays are also listed on here as well. However please know that relays are always subject to change.
• Due to the short turn around time between meets, seed times on the heat sheets will not reflect any time improvements made at Red/Blue.  Also any records earned at Red/Blue will not be reflected on the heat sheet.

CONCESSIONS:

• The Typhoons will be selling the breakfast tacos, hot dogs, burgers, drinks and snacks.  Bring cash as swimmers love to hit the Concession Stand! 

MEET PHOTOS:

• We have a dedicated photographer that takes hundreds of photos at each meet.  You will find a link to those photos under the "Meet Photos" section of the website.  If you have a moment I encourage you to go and check out these photos,  you'll probably find a great snapshot of your swimmer.  

OTHER:

• Age group tents are reserved for swimmers and Tent Parents ONLY
• Age group tents are nut-free
• Ready Bench and area behind the starting blocks are for swimmers ONLY
• In the interest of safety athletes must stay in their age-group tent when not swimming
• When signing out your child from their tent please initial the checkout sheet with the Tent Parent.  We need to ensure Parents are signing out their kids.
