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.
