ENTRY & EXIT Locations
- for each group & time, see below.
MAIN Door - front of the Aquatic Center lobby. There are "social distancing" marks on the ground here.
REAR Door (Currently NOT being used for any groups) - go past Main Entrance to pool, around the corner of the building, there will be a canopy set up at the door and a coach waiting. There ARE NOT "social distancing" marks here, so parents/swimmers please keep your distance when waiting for entry screening. (This entry will be re-evaluated as the weather gets colder. Arrangements may be made to move all entry to the MAIN.)
Only the lobby will be open for parent access during practice Monday - Friday, due to containing traffic (non-DASH) throughout the HHS building. Feel free to bring a bag-chair and set up camp. The lobby AND stands will be open during practice on Sunday, unless it becomes a problem with "traffic".
