8. There is NO bullpen for the relay events teams are responsible for getting their own swimmers to the block when they are called. Please try to avoid clogging the area around the blocks during the meet. For individual events we will have a bullpen where 12 & under swimmers should go before being taken to the blocks. This staging area will be located outside the entrance to the pool by the football field entrance. Only coaches and parents who are directly helping line swimmers up should be in the area behind the blocks, your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Swimmers may enter the pool deck from the back hallway downstairs for all events starting at the block end of the pool. Your cooperation with this will greatly ease congestion and confusion during the meet. In an effort to help our bullpen folks we suggest you write the names and team affiliation of your younger swimmers on their backs with a Sharpie pen. This will help for easy ID of swimmers.
