If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us Thursday prior to the meet. Volunteers working any shift in the clubhouse, may pause to go out onto the clubhouse deck to observe their child(ren) swim. However, once their shift is over, we must ask that they vacate the clubhouse and not remain on the clubhouse deck to observe the rest of the meet. No children (swimmers and non- swimmers) may be in the clubhouse at any time – especially if they are wet. This is a blanket policy for their safety and for the integrity of the clubhouse. We thank you for your cooperation. 

 

Equipment 

Please bring your starting equipment, computer and printer (as a backup). Your head timer should also bring adequate stop watches to supply your team’s timers. Please note that Kingsbrooke does not supply tents for visiting coaches, team members, or guests. If you would like for your coaches to have a tent on deck, you will need to provide it for them.  Each Team should also provide their own camp chairs for the meet.  Our pool supply is unavailable for use. 

 

Flags 

The backstroke flags at our pool are spaced at 5 yards. 

 

Coaches Areas 

Visiting team coaches set up by the pool near the clubhouse. Kingsbrooke coaches set up on the side near clerk of course.  There is plenty of room to set-up a tent and we recommend that you bring one for your coaches, as the area can get very sunny. We encourage you to bring camp chairs for your coaches, as our pool supply is unavailable.  

 

Deck Access 

With deck access being more crowded with 3 teams, we ask all spectators to respect and prioritize those with active swims to the front of the pool deck.  Once your swimmer has finished the event, please allow others with active swimmers in a heat to come to the front.   

 

Relay Lanes 

All teams are welcome to enter up to two relay teams per relay event. Relay lane assignments will remain the same throughout the meet.   

Kingsbrooke will use Lanes 3 and  6,  

Victory Lakes will use Lanes 4 and 1,  

Ashland will use Lanes 2 and 5  

 

Meet Set up 

See map below.  We will permit tent set up (coaches and team areas) on Friday night after the pool closes at 8 pm. 

 

Parking 

Each team will have 10 parking spaces reserved in the parking lot by the clubhouse. Teams must provide a list of names for the reserved spaces.  Please see the Divisional Parking Map below for an overview of parking areas. 

 

Please use the drop-off area (circle) in front of the Kingsbrooke Clubhouse off Braided Stream Drive to unload swimmers and gear.  General parking is available on Braided Stream Dr and Bristow Run Elementary School within short walking distance of the pool. Street parking is available on surrounding neighborhood streets, please respect homeowners and do not park within 15 feet of the driveway or mailbox.  PLEASE do not block driveways or mailboxes and be respectful to our neighbors in early mornings with minimal noise. Obey all signs for No Parking. PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE GRASS.  VIOLATORS MAY BE TOWED AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE. 

 

If anyone on your team is in need of Handicap parking, please let us know as soon as possible. We will have 6 handicap spots designated (3 are permanent and 3 will be marked with cones).  Cars must have a handicap placard or tags displayed on their car to qualify.

General Housekeeping 

To limit distractions to swimmers and prevent interference with official duties, cell phone use is not permitted on the deck by Timers, Recorders and all Officials. 

There is to be no photography behind the start ends of the pool while used for starts in compliance to swimmer safety rules. This is distracting to the swimmers, meet volunteers and to the Starting Referees. From the far end of the pool, once the race has begun, you may take photos or videos, but not before the buzzer sounds. There is to be absolutely no photography in bathroom areas. 

Food Donations 

We are supporting House of Mercy food pantry in Manassas with food donations this year at Divisionals.  We appreciate any donations your teams can provide to support this worthwhile cause.
