    Prelims 2 Info: 9-10 and 11-12 (7/12/22)

    Attached is the Meet Program and Individual Entry List for DAY 2, TUESDAY, 7/12/22.

    Based on the Meet Program it is showing an end time of 9:46am. Today's meet ran pretty close to on time so plan for it to end around that time, give or take a little.


    Age Groups: 9-10 and 11-12


    Arrive by: You should aim to arrive by 6:45am in order find parking, unload and find a place to set up.  We left at 6:00am this morning and the traffic was fine.  Not sure what time traffic gets bad but something to keep in mind.


    Warm up Schedule:

    6:50-7:10 lanes 1-4 Cruisers EAST       lanes 5-8 Cruisers WEST

    7:10-7:30 lanes 1-4 Castle Pines          lanes 5-8 Hills West

    7:30-7:50 lanes 1-4 Dam West            lanes 5-8 one way starts for any team


    Address:  3952 Butterfield Crossing Dr, Castle Rock, CO 80109


    Parking: One parking lots near the pool is open, as is the elementary parking lot. You can park on the entrance street to the pool on the entrance side, NOT ON THE EXIT SIDE. Obey all NO PARKING signs and you will be fine. If you park in neighborhoods, please be respectful of driveways.


    Team SeatingToday we all sat together in the far back, left corner next to the heating chairs.   We will aim to be in that section again tomorrow, if possible.  If we aren't there, please find us so that we can sit together!


    Weather:  Today was COLD!  We knew it would be cooler but it stayed around 58 degrees and there was quite a wind in the early morning hours. (It blew a tent into the pool!)   It is suppose to be warmer tomorrow but I honestly don't know what to tell you so I'll just say be prepared for either cold OR warm or both!


    Concessions: There will be a food truck but no coffee truck so if you want coffee please bring your own. I do not know which food truck it will be so please plan accordingly.


    Shift Change: We prefer to have our shift change after back strokes at Event 49.


    Volunteers:  WE STILL NEED A FEW MORE PRELIM VOLUNTEERS! Thank you to everyone who has already signed up! Thankfully it should be a pretty quick meet so if you haven’t already signed up PLEASE find some way to help out. Even working BOTH shifts should be about the equivalent of working 1 shift in a normal meet.  If you have spouses or older siblings or friends that can help, we can use them too!

    2 Heating Area – Shift 1 and 2 (1 each)

    1 Scoring Table - Shift 1 and 2 (1 each)

    If you have any questions, please contact Candace Ellman at [email protected].


    Card System: There will be NO relays at Prelims but everything else will run pretty much like a normal meet although Castle Rock will be using the Card System as they did in our last away meet.


    FAQs: If you’ve got general questions about Prelims or Championships, there is a section under the Parents Tab called "FAQs". Scroll down towards the bottom. If you’ve still got questions feel free to ask Coach Emilie, myself or a “seasoned” parent.


    All for now!
