There will be a lot going on so please be on time!

All swimmers need goggles and GMU entry bag tags ( included with your Outfitting package).  If you lost yours or do not have one, you can contact Sport Fair (703)-524-9500 and they will mail one to you but it will take a week +-.  New swimmers without tags and outfitting packages (yet) will be listed on the team roster which will be on hand with the bldg. entry table workers.

Parents may bring swimmers to the locker rooms and deck, but must remain in the bleachers if choosing to stay.  Same as last time which worked very well!  Swimmers may be dropped off for the clinic but must be picked up on time at the scheduled conclusion of the clinic track.  Please do not be late, nor should you let your younger swimmers in the locker rooms unattended for any amount of time.

Parking is FREE in lot "C" on Saturdays  ( between Braddock Rd. and the pool bldg).  Photos allowed from bleachers.  Send me some to post!

Hope to see you there!
