Additional details

• It is critical the swimmers check in on time. There is a lot of work involved to set lanes assignments and finalize heats between the time swimmer's check in and the time the meet starts. If swimmers check in late they may not be able to swim in the meet. If you have issues getting to check-in on time, please call or text Tracie Buckley at (703) 665-9901.
• Swimmers should bring goggles, a few towels and a swim cap to the meet. Wear your Piranhas suit if possible.
• Swimsuits must comply with USA Swimming regulations (see section 102.8). Tech suits are not permitted for any age group.
• Parents do not stand in the staging area behind the timers. Space is limited so parents and children not swimming cannot stand behind the timers.
• Prior to the end of the meet, parents and swimmers departing, please monitor your area and clean up any trash prior to leaving.
• No video or photography at the ends of the pool where swimmers enter and exit.

Parking

Parking is always tricky for us, but the Brambleton HOA has added to the challenge this season by closing the lower half of the Community Center parking lot to stage some construction equipment. We have also closed a portion of the upper lot to allow for potential ingress/egress of emergency equipment. There will be a line of cones across the parking lot toward the upper end – please do not go past them. Event Parking is first-come, first serve in the remainder of the lot at the Community Center. Please note the handicapped spots and observe them appropriately. Any overflow parking is directed to the indicated “Street Parking” areas in green below. Please note only park on the sides of the streets noted in the below graphic. We will have parking officials.

Restrooms

Restrooms are located on the ground floor of the Community Center clubhouse – note “Restrooms” on the pool deck diagram below. Please enter the restrooms where indicated on the diagram at the starting end of the pool, i.e. the computer table end.

Concessions

The Betta Bistro concessions tent will be open as early as possible near the pool entrance near the parking lot (see diagram). We will be serving food at the meet, with both pizza and Chick-fil-a sandwiches available, and of course the usual swim meet snacks, candy and Gatorade! CASH ONLY!

Team and Spectator seating

We have set up a great area for our visiting team guests just down the path past the end of the parking lot - see “Away Team Area (Tents)” on the diagram below. We understand that parents want to watch their swimmers compete, so we ask that you come onto the pool deck just before their respective events, and then please exit the pool deck at the completion of their swims. Prior to departing at the end of the meet, we ask that you please collect any trash that may have accumulated during the course of the meet. Please follow any instructions of Betta volunteers if requested.

Volunteer info

• Volunteers, please make sure you sign in when you arrive so that you get credit for your hours!
• All timers please report to the pool deck at 5:00 pm for an instruction meeting and to receive your lane assignments.
• All officials please report to the pool deck at 5:05 pm for an Officials Briefing and to discuss the rotation of Stroke & Turn officials.

Go Piranhas! Swim Fast!
