This meet is big and exciting. Canopies can be set up at 6:30am on Friday and left in the pool area all weekend as long as they are tied down. Bring lots of water and sunscreen. An extra suit and goggles are not a bad idea either as we are 2 hours from home. If you own portable fans and misters, they are recommended as well. There are snack bar options and shirt/sweatshirt vendors. This venue is in a large park. If you do not like the crowd you can setup outside the pool area. But, we will have a designated space inside the pool area too.
