Willowsford South at Lovettsville
Lovettsville Dolphins
Start: 8:00 AM
Warm-up: 7:00 AM
THIS MEET IS FURTHER AWAY THAN TYPICAL PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY. **Meet Schedule:** Please plan to arrive by 7:00 am and your warm-ups will be from 7:10-7:35 am. We hope to begin the meet a few minutes early, ideally by 7:45 am, which should allow us to complete all the relays. Our intention is to stick to the timeline to make this happen. We appreciate your assistance in arriving on time and having your young swimmers lined up by 7:45 am. **Post-Meet Expectations:** We will do everything possible to publish the results of the meet by 5:00pm. Please review at that point and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We would prefer to print labels for ribbons after verifying the meet results, but please let me know in advance if you would like to take an estimated number of needed ribbons at the end of the meet. **Pool Details:** Our pool is 25 yards long, so swimmers’ times at this event will differ from those recorded in your 25-meter home pool. However, results will be published in meters after a conversion rate is applied. Timers will remain in place at the pool house end of the pool, and 25-yard events will be started from the far end. **Volunteers:** Per ODSL rules, we ask you to provide 2 Stroke & Turn Judges, 9 Timers, a Clerk of Course assistant. We will provide the Ref & Starter as they work closely with our computer team, which promotes a timely meet. Stroke & Turn Judges will meet at 7:15 am next to the Ref/Starter tent, and Timers will meet at 7:15 am next to the Rock climbing wall. **Directions:** Our pool is located at the rear of the Lovettsville Community Center, 57 E Broad Way, Lovettsville, VA 20180. **Parking:** We have limited onsite parking available for parents in the gravel section. Parking in the paved section next to the Community Center is reserved for Community Center activities and is not available for our swim meet. When the gravel lot is full, you may need to park at our new Community Park (12565 Milltown Rd, Lovettsville, VA). You can walk along the paths and crosswalks to the Community Center, or you can park along E Broadway (where designated parking spaces exist) or along the neighborhood streets on and off Frye Ct, located directly past the Community Center on the left. It will be a bit of a walk, so we encourage you to arrive early. We will not delay the start of the meet for late arrivals, as we will not have time to accommodate any delays while making it through the entire meet. I apologize in advance for this inconvenience. **Visiting Team Area:** You will have access to the grass area outside the pool near the tennis court. **Parent Viewing Area:** We kindly ask that parents only access the deck to watch their child swim. After your child's swim, please exit the deck area to comply with the Community Center’s strict occupancy policies. **Playground Supervision:** If your children plan to use the Community Center playground, please remember that they must be supervised while playing. Your supervision helps ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. **Restricted Areas:** Please ensure that no one enters the baby pool area. We also ask that you keep clear of the area around the starter table and the lanes to allow access for Officials and Runners. The walkway island between the pool and the disabled access ramp is for Coaches and Officials only. Additionally, please make sure no one enters the water in the ramp area; this area may be particularly appealing to little ones on hot days. **Concessions:** We operate a full concessions service, offering breakfast burritos, locally roasted coffee, and a variety of candy and snacks. Families are welcome to bring their own provisions. We accept both cash and credit cards. We appreciate your cooperation in cleaning up all areas during and after the event so that the pool staff can open the pool as soon as possible after the meet ends. |
