Hello Dolphin Families!

Below you will find the information from Hills West for Saturday’s meet. As always you can use our “Meet Preparation” page to help you pack for an away meet. 

Meet Entries: We still have a few people that need to mark their swimmers as “Attending” or “Not Attending.” The deadline for that is TODAY @ 5:00pm!  You can go to the “Calendar & Sign-Up” page.

Volunteers: Thank you to everyone that has signed up already! We are still in need of the following:

1 Scoring Table – shift 2

1 Stroke & Turn Judge – shift 2

6 Timers – shift 2

I know that we have lots of families out of town this week so please sign-up to help. We are thankful that this is another Tri-Meet and therefore they are asking for fewer volunteers than usual from us so we especially need to get all the positions filled. You can go to the “Calendar & Sign-Up” page.

Arrival Time: Because this is a tri-meet and our warm-up time is a bit earlier, please plan to arrive by 6:35am to get parked, walk in, set up and have your swimmer ready to warm-up by 7:10am.

Information From Hills West:

Welcome Castle Rock Cruisers East and Dam West,

The Hills West Waves welcomes you to our pool. We are looking forward to a great meet filled with lots of smiling swimmers and families as well as safe, fun, and friendly competition!

Below you will find information to share with your coaches and families regarding Saturday’s meet.

The Hills West Pool is located at:

10458E. Crestline Pl, Englewood, CO 80111

The pool is located just inside the Hills at Cherry Creek West neighborhood, off of Havana St. You may enter the neighborhood from Havana St. or Belleview Ave.

Warm Up Times:

Hills West Waves: 6:50am – 7:10am

Dam West: 7:10am - 7:30am

Castle Rock Cruisers East: 7:30am - 7:50am

Given this warm up schedule, there will be no time for one-way starts so make sure your coaches are aware and plan accordingly for their warm ups.

Our start time will be 8:00am

Parking:

There is very limited space available in our small parking lot except for 2 reserved spaces, one for a Parent Rep from each team. There is no parking on either side of the curved median directly in front of the pool entrance to Havana St., as this is the entrance to the neighborhood and these homes will have cars ticketed. I will put out cones as a reminder for cars not to park there. You may park along the streets throughout the Hills West neighborhood. Please do not block driveways. There also is parking along both sides of Havana Street in front of the pool.

Concessions:

Breakfast burritos, fruit, hot dogs and hamburgers will be available for purchase as well as water, coffee, soda, assorted beverages and a large variety of other meal items and snacks. We accept cash only.

Team Set-Up:

• Your swimmers and families can set up in the park right outside of the pool fence, to the South of the starting blocks.
• We ask there be no deck seating and to keep the pool deck for standing spectators only. The only exception is that each team may set up a shade canopy for coaches along the side of the pool, we will have chairs set up for coaches.
• We are using the Dolphin Timing System. We will have three Dolphin timers and one stopwatch for each lane.
• We will hold the Timer and Officials Meetings around 7:30am.
• There will be a table set up just inside the front entrance of the pool for your Volunteer Coordinators.

Meet Programs:  Meet programs will not be for sale, we will have a copy posted at the pool. Families should print out the meet program if they would like a hard copy. We will provide meet programs to: Coaches (6 per team); Stroke & Turn Judges, Heating, Each Lane, Order of Finish, DQ Scribes, Meet Ref, Deck Ref, Starter, and Announcer.

Meet Program & Individual Entry List: Just a reminder that I will email these out on Friday once we have them.

OK, that's all for today!

Thanks!
