Entrance into the Facility: Entrance into the facility will be at the main entrance into the Josh Davis Pool. Spectators will enter through the far right hand side doors. Athletes and Coaches will enter through the far left hand side doors. There will be signs posted designating the entry procedure. Once in the facility, all spectators will proceed upstairs and walk through the breezeway into the Walker facility. Seating is limited to a maximum of 800. Spectators and parents are not allowed on the pool deck unless they have the correct deck pass identification. There will be overflow seating in the Davis Pool North side bleachers. That seating will have the scoreboard on displaying the meet via video, event numbers and heats in progress

1. Swimmers will sit with the team (look for green HC banner) on the lower level by the pool; parents will sit above (2nd floor) and watch from the viewing area above (no parents, aside from meet volunteers with a deck pass, are allowed on deck with swimmers). Swimmers will not be allowed to up/down from the viewing area during the meet. Consider sending a small snack/beverage with your swimmer, but keep in mind, swimmers are NOT ALLOWED to bring in personal coolers (there just isn't space).
2. No posters/banners/streamers/confetti allowed in the facility.
3. No cake or pastries allowed in the facility.
4. No body-painting/body glitter/"eat my bubbles", etc is allowed on swimmers' bodies (allowed: only name and event #/heat/lane)

• The Divisionals/Champs meet is the biggest (and most exciting) meet of the season.
• The Hurricanes will be competing against the other 4 teams in our league's division at the same time, in a large, deep, very "professional" pool setting - the Walker Pool South Competition Pool at the Blossom Athletic Center.
• It's a large, LOUD, fast-paced event. Swimmers stay on deck down below; parents watch (and cheer!) from the observation deck on the upper level. Note - parents/swimmers DO NOT sit together at this meet. Coaches and a handful of our team's volunteers (those with deck passes only) will be with the swimmers on deck, helping them get to their events.
• Due to the size of the meet, we are limited in the number of swimmers/relays we are allowed to enter in each event; at this meet, your swimmer MAY end up swimming events that they don't routinely swim. We try to make sure we enter a relay in every event, so sometimes we ask our younger swimmers to "swim up" with older relays so Hunters Creek Hurricanes are represented.
• Swimmers earn MEDALS for 1st-3rd places (always fun to get, am I right?) and ribbons for up to 16th place. Plaques will be given to the boy and girl who score the most points in their respective age group. Banners will be given to the team that scores the most points in each age group, by gender (these are the banners that we proudly display along the fence at the pool.)

I explain all of this because, sometimes, swimmers (and parents?) are intimidated by the large, deep pool, high starting blocks, amount of noise, and the fact that they can't sit with their parents between events. For most, it's a fantastic opportunity to swim in "fast pool" (tall starting blocks, lane ropes, gutters, etc designed to decrease turbulence) with a cool automated touch-pad timing system. Our swimmers tend to break their own personal records at this meet - and there are ALWAYS super-exciting finishes to watch! It's a great experience, and we hope that ALL HURRICANES will participate and believe that knowing some of the above details will help your swimmer (and you) be adequately prepared. Please reach out to a parent board member or coach if you have questions.
