CAT TALES

 
Parking at Fike -
Please remember to avoid receiving a parking ticket, you need a Clemson University parking pass of some kind to park at Fike.  Parking fees are paid directly to Parking Services and Fike does not receive any of the payment.  Parking fees for Community Members, Alumni, Family Members, and others that do not have a Faculty/Staff or Student parking permit: $67 Annual / $33.50 Six Month
Questions regarding parking fees can be forwarded to: Parking Services, Janice Shook at (864) 656-2270 or Parksrv@clemson.edu

CAT has permission to drop off and pick up at the back entrance to Fike but not to park there for the entire practice time.  You do risk a ticket if you choose to park in that area for an extended time even with a permit.

Team pictures-
Team pictures have been scheduled for Tuesday, October 6 at Fike.  Team, Squad/Group and Individual photos will be taken.  Information about times and photo packages will be available on our website soon.  

A few safety reminders-
Only swimmers and coaches should be on the pool deck during practice.  Parents and siblings should remain in the bleachers except when entering or exiting Fike for practice.  Also, please accompany your small children to the restroom as the locker rooms are open to anyone who enters Fike, not just families associated with CAT. 


Practice changes-
There will be no Purple/Orange/Senior practice on Tuesday 9/22 and Thursday 9/24 due to the ROTC’s annual swim & dive training.  White WILL practice at their normal times.

Money Matters
