Can I watch my child swim at practice?

• Yes, but from behind the fence. In accordance with insurance requirements, the pool desk is reserved for swimmers and coaching staff only during practice hours. Parents are not permitted to be on the pool deck during practice. 

What is the bike route?

• Bikers/walkers... head straight down hill, and remain right through the old tennis courts, then go behind the shed, through the grass next to the creek, and park your bike at the bike rack.

How do I drop off/ pick up my child at practice?

• Drive down the hill and turn left going toward the pool. On the right before the large parking lot, there will be 3 different drop off spots. Pull forward to the last spot. Coaches will be waiting to help your swimmers get out of the car.  Coaches will direct the swimmers to their dry land spot. Parents, continue to pull forward and circle left around the cone in the parking lot to head back out up the hill. Pick up will follow the same pattern.
