Virtual Meet Social Distancing Protocol:

More details may be included in the swim meet director’s email before each individual meet. In general, the following social distancing protocol MUST be followed during ALL meets this season.

PARKING: All families should park in our lower parking lot at 528 Pensacola Rd or along one side of the street in the neighborhood. It is CRITICAL that you be mindful of the residents in the neighborhood when street parking. Please do not park in the cul-de-sac (past the upper tennis courts), do not block driveways, and only park on ONE SIDE of the street throughout the neighborhood. It is also critical that you do NOT park in the upper pool lot off of Cedar Bluff or block that driveway - we must keep that clear to allow for emergency vehicles, as is the case for ALL practices. (Please take note of the one side of the street parking regulations or you may have to leave the meet to move your car!).

FAMILY AREA:
Our main team area will be to the right of the main pool entrance – by the playground between the tennis courts and pool in the grassy area. Please help keep swimmers out of the water in the unused areas of the pool. Consider only having as few family members as necessary attend each meet in order to keep our on-site numbers low. Entrance to the pool area will only be allowed through the main gate, exit only gate by basketball court (then walk around fence in grass back to family area) and ONLY volunteers, swimmers prepping to swim in current event and parents viewing swimmer in current event should be on/around pool deck at any given time.

Bring tents, bug spray, chairs, blanket or tarp and a flashlight; it can be dark walking back to your car. We ask that ONLY immediate family members share non-individually wrapped food or drink items between one another. We also ask that card games, toys, etc.. be played/shared ONLY between immediate/household family members. Alcoholic beverages and smoking are not allowed in the pool area during GKAISA meets.

‘PREP’ PAVILLION AREA

Pavilion on pool deck will be 'prep' area for heats with swimmers socially distanced. ONLY Swimmers that have been called onto pool deck should be in this area.
