The end of the season is upon us! This Saturday, we travel to Forest City to compete in the Tar Heel Swim League Championship Meet. Warm-ups for the Torpedo are at 8am. This means be ready to enter the water AT 8am! The pool opens at 7:30 for team set-up. Anyone working at the meet will need to attend the respective meeting for their position.
Stroke & Turn / Starter / Clerk of Course Meeting – 8:45am
Timer / Runner / Heat Ribbons – 8:45 am
The following is from the Forest City Stingrays, this year's conference host. Please read and respect their wishes, as our conduct reflects upon us as a team and more widely upon the Town and Community of Valdese. Let's all be gracious guests this Saturday!
--There will be NO personal tents allowed on the deck, they may be set up in the
grassy area to the right of the pool entrance and on the west side of the parking area.
If necessary, tents may also be located on the tennis courts to the left (east) of the
Recreation Center building.
--Each team will be allowed one 10 x 10 tent in an assigned space on the deck inside the
fence.
--Spectators should keep the left side of the pool area clear so that all may access
restrooms and swimmers may access the clerk of course area. Also spectators should
avoid the timer/starter areas which will be congested with essential activities. The area to
the right of the pool as you enter will be your best option.
--No one should be in the kiddie pool!
--The east side of the parking lot will be utilized by our vendors (food, refreshments and
t-shirts…yes, we are using Eagle Sportz and hope you will like our design). There will be
handicapped parking available in the northeast corner of the parking lot.
-- Sorry, but we are not blessed with ample onsite parking. Parking is allowed on the
south (i.e. golf course) side of Clay Street, in the spaces on Westview Street at the Forest
City Clubhouse, on the west (i.e. golf course) side of Golf Street, in the lots off Harris
St. (to the west) behind Forest City Chiropractic and the Magnolia House, in the lots of
Shuford Nationwide Insurance, Bell Orthodontics or in the vacant lots on the north side
of W. Main Street. You may also park at the Rutherford County School’s Cool Springs
Office Building or in the Dollar General Store spaces closest to Main Street (i.e. furthest
from the store). Do NOT park in the House of Asian Restaurant lot or in a manner than
would completely block any street or driveway or in someone’s yard. The north sides of
Clay Street and the east side of Golf Street are residential, please be considerate of those
who live there.
