Location

The pool is located between Jones Rd. and Eldridge Parkway, just north of FM 1960. It is most easily reached by turning west on Tower Oaks Blvd. from Jones Rd.

Our parking area is directly in front of the pool in a separately fenced off area.  It is reached from a gated driveway off of Tower Oaks Blvd.  The gate should be open by 7:15 AM on meet days.  The parking area typically accommodates both teams, but in the event of it becoming over-full ample street parking is available on Neeshaw Drive, just to the southeast of the pool area.  The pool grounds can be reached from Neeshaw by a pedestrian gate on the southeast corner of the grounds.  Parking in the lot is in multiple rows with cars oriented orthogonal to Tower Oak Blvd, leaving enough space for pulling in and out between rows.

There is a large area for guest set up on the playground side of the facility, to the east of the pool.  There are several gates from the parking area into the pool grounds, with a separate gate 40 ft left of the main building that allows easier access to the visitor area while carrying gear.  Please set up to the east of the play set, and do not set up between the play set area and the pool.  The area adjacent to the pool is for clear spectator walk up viewing, and we ask you to keep it clear for everyone's use.

Please ask your kids to wear some kind of flip flops or shoes when not on the pool deck. We tend to get patches of sticker burrs in sections of the lawn, and this can bother the kids feet.

Concessions and restrooms are located in a covered pavilion area in the south central area of the grounds.  Breakfast and lunch will be available, with breakfast tacos, hot dogs, hamburgers, and brisket highlighting our frequently acclaimed concessions.

We have a 5 lane 25 meter pool.  Visitor warm-up will be at 7:40 AM.

Timers and Scribes

To equally divide the timer and scribe coverage of our five lane pool, we alternate the number of timers and scribes between two shifts.  We change shifts after event 42, generally with a short break (at the discretion of the referee).  Please bring 8 watches for your lane timers, and 2 for your head timer.

Ready Bench and Computers

We will have our computers set up in the pavilion area.  It would be helpful if your computer person could bring a printer.  We will give you ribbons and labels at the end of the meet.
