Meet Logistics:

• Clerk of Course: Mite parents, coaches and officials will be the only people allowed into the area sectioned off on the far side of the competition portion of the pool. Swimmers will walk through the back gate closest to the tennis court or through the covered porch at the end of the pool (opposite the blocks) to get to the clerk of course. Please see the map below for the traffic flow pattern. Swimmers will move counterclockwise around the pool to get to the CoC.
• Diveovers: We will implement diveovers for 9 and older swimmers to keep the meet running efficiently.

Pool Deck/Observation Details: There will be designated spots for WaveRiders and FoxCreek families to sit. Please see the map below of the Rountrey Pool for specifics or click here. Please do not place chairs in the observation areas. We are trying to make sure all families have a good view of their swimmer(s) during their specific heats by having standing-room-only observation areas. Some of the seating will be outside of the pool deck in grassy areas. Bring chairs, pop-up tents, and bug spray! Some rules and other information:

• Tents are not allowed on the pool deck. You are welcome to set up your chairs and tents in the grass around the pool.
• We will broadcast events through a PA system.
• You are welcome to tailgate and set up camp at your car. Please do not block traffic or save spaces for friends.
• Rountrey's tennis courts cannot be used during meets.
• The swimming pool is closed to the public. Spectators ARE NOT allowed to enter the pool - including the baby pool - or wade in the zero-entry area.
• Swimmers and spectators ARE NOT allowed inside the clubhouse. Only meet officials and volunteers whose responsibilities are inside the clubhouse are allowed to enter.
• Restrooms are located on either side of the lifeguard station – women’s on the left, men’s on the right.  
• No alcohol, tobacco, or nicotine products are allowed on the pool deck during the meet. We encourage all users of tobacco and nicotine products to do so away from all swimmers and spectators.
• Families, PLEASE help us and the lifeguards keep the pool deck clean. Throw away your own trash and clean up any leftover food or spills as they happen. Thank you!

Food/Concessions: We will have Kona Ice and Westray's Finest on site. We will also have a concession stand selling drinks, snacks, chips, candy, grilled burgers/cheeseburgers, and hot dogs. Payment at the concession stand is with cash or Venmo (@Waveriders-SwimTeam2213). Other vendors will accept their typical forms of payment.

Volunteers: Please check in at the sign-in table just outside and to the right of the Rountrey Pool main entrance. You will receive a name tag with your name and volunteer role. There will be a timers meeting and strokes and turns meeting occurring around 6:00PM, so please listen for the meeting announcement over the PA system. Thank you in advance for your help!

Rescheduled from 5/31.

This is a practice meet for new swimmers, swimmers who need a refresher on how meets work, and swimmers who will be swimming 50M events for the first time. This is an opportunity for these swimmers to get seed times and for new families to experience how a meet operates on a smaller, intrasquad scale.

Please note: Coaches will assign swimmers to events. If there is an event, i.e. relay, or stroke you do not want your swimmer to swim, please indicate this in the "Notes for coach" section of the meet signup. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Coach Caleb at [email protected].

Location: Rountrey Pool, 3800 Graythorne Dr., Midlothian, VA 23112

Timeline: Warm-ups will begin at 7:30AM with the meet starting at 8:00AM.

Parking: If the Main Clubhouse parking lot is full, park along the surrounding roads. Please be considerate and do not park directly in front of a resident’s home/driveway or on their lawn. Please consider walking, biking, or carpooling if possible.
