My apologies for the late hour.   It's been a busy day "behind the scenes" as we sorted some things out.  I’ve attached the Meet Program and Individual Entry List for tomorrow’s Prelim at Clarke Farms.  

IMPORTANT!  If your swimmer is in an event with 8 or less swimmers in it (only 1 Heat) they will not swim that event tomorrow.  They will already be "qualified" for Championships in that particular event!   I believe that all of our swimmers will still have 1 or 2 other events to swim in so you still need to come ready to swim!

Age Groups: 8 & Under, 13-14 and 15-18

Arrive by: You should aim to arrive by 6:30am in order find parking, unload and find a place to set up.

Directions: 17301 Clarke Farms DriveParker, CO 80134

Clarke Farms Dr. is a loop that runs through the neighborhood; we are located at the first (north) entrance at Clarke Farms Dr., closest to Lincoln. If you miss the first it take the second and follow the loop.

Parking: Parking is available on the street - Clarke Farms Drive and throughout the neighborhood as well. There is also limited parking at the school lot due to construction. Please do not park in or block residential driveways.

Set Up: We will have NO setting up for teams within the pools area this year. Teams are invited to set up on a first come first serve basis anywhere outside the pool area. Areas for teams to stake out are below:

• Front of pool building
• East and West side of building
• Parking lot area and Park area

We do have a gate from the park area for access the pool deck. You can also enter from the front of the building.

Concessions: Concessions will be located just within the entrance of the pool deck/building. Breakfast, lunch and snack items will be available for purchase. We serve breakfast burritos, bagels, and donuts and will have and hotdogs for lunch options. There are several snack items as well as water, coffee and soda also available for purchase.

Scoring System: We will be using the Dolphin Timing System and running a card less meet. Timers will be given instructions on the use of this system prior to the meet start at 7:30am for BOTH 1^st and 2^nd shift timers.

Heating: As previously determined, we will be heating by team within the pool deck area. Each team will need to bring a tent for their heating area. Swimmers will be checked in by their heating volunteers for their events. Swimmers will provide their last names and event when entering the heating area and will be guided to their seat (lane) assignment. Writing the swimmer’s names on their back and events on forearm is very helpful! There will be a heating meeting at 7:30am for BOTH 1^st and 2^nd shifts at the main heating area at the south end of the pool.

There will be NO relays at Prelims but everything else will run pretty much like a normal meet. Each team will be Heating their own swimmers and then combining them at the blocks. Parking and finding a spot to set-up may be a challenge so get their early! 

There is a section regarding Prelims & Championships under the Parents Tab called "FAQs". Scroll down towards the bottom.

Lost Sunscreen? I picked up someone’s sunscreen at Saturday’s meet. I’ll have it with me tomorrow and Tuesday so let me know if you’re missing an orange, No-Ad sunscreen.

Let me know if you have any questions!
