District Information

Hello all!   I am sorry for getting this to you so late but I just received this information myself earlier today.  Here is everything I know so far about Districts.

1. Districts will be held this coming Tuesday, October, 23rd at the West YMCA.  5959 N Discovery Way, Boise, ID 83713.  

2.  I think doors will open for swimmers right at 7am.  In years past we had to be there early to fight to get a spot on deck but this year, they said that there will be signs where we are supposed to sit.  

3.  This is a long meet.  You need to bring things to keep you entertained and fed all day.

4.  I can get the school's van to transport swimmers needing rides, however that means you are stuck with me all day. I have to be to at the pool no later than 6:45.  That means we have to leave the school at 6 am sharp.  I cannot wait for you if you are late.  If we have swimmers that make it into the finals, we will probably be there until 9pm.  It is a long day.

5.  There are fees for parents to watch.  Gate fees are $10, $7, $5 for both sessions  & $6, $4, $3 for one session.

6.  There will be around a 1 1/2 hour break between the end of prelims and before the start of Finals.  It is slated to be around 1-3:30.  

7.  The Y will be designating areas for each team in order to alleviate the chaos.   Teams will be allowed to have their team banners.   The pool will be cleared from 1-3:30pm.  The Y is providing 10 porta potties.  Spectators will not be allowed in the locker rooms.   

8.  There will be food trucks.
