A reminder that the following targeted meets are coming up soon:

March 23rd Metro East District Championships @ Monash Aquatic & Recreation Center

Meet Information:

A few things to note:

* The pool is outdoors. It is meant to be 23 degrees on Sunday, but it will be quite cool in the earlier morning. Please be sure to bring appropriate clothing for your swimmer as well sunscreen. You may want to bring an extra dry towel and dry clothing if they are swimming over both sessions with the relays. Swimmers can lose body heat when they are wet and waiting for their races so they should have warm layers and footwear to put on to stay as warm as possible.

**There is no seating around the pool. We will have 2 marquees for shelter for our swimmers and families. Be sure to bring camps chairs and/or blankets to sit on. 

***Bring plenty of food and water for your swimmer!

****If you want to avoid standing in the long line at the front entry, just arrive a little early and you will be able to enter through the side entry right into the pool area!
