Visiting team warm-ups: 4:55pm-5:20pm 

Meet starts: 5:30pm

Live (unofficial) results will be available via the Time Drops app. Results will also be posted to Meet Mobile.

Visiting Team Area: The visiting team area is the grass covered area. The Rudgear Estates HOA asks that swimmers and families please stay off the landscaped hillsides, avoid damaging plants, and do not disturb adjacent neighbors. We have a diving well and a baby pool. Both of these areas are closed during swim meets. Please make sure your swimmers stay out of both areas. 

Parking: We are fortunate to have a large amount of street parking in the vicinity of the pool. We ask that all families park responsibility in legal parking spaces and not block driveways.

Food: We will have a snack shack with drinks, snack items, and pizza open during the meet.  We will also have a food truck located in the parking lot.

Time Trials is the first meet of the season. This event is used to obtain each swimmer’s base time for each stroke. These times are used to seed swimmers for their first meet, and also aid in the calculation of swimmers' improvements throughout the season. In the event a team member misses Time Trials, their first swim time in any event becomes their base time.

New Families: Even if you are not sure if your swimmer is ready for meets yet, we HIGHLY recommend attending Time Trials! Time Trials is the perfect meet for swimmers who have never been to a meet! Why? Only our team is there! There are no points to be scored, no ribbons to be earned, no times to “pop”, and nobody is trying to “win”. It is the perfect low-key, low-pressure way to learn how meets work! We are able to slow down a bit from our usual pace and help you learn the ropes. Plus we have fun team bonding elements built in, including our complimentary pancake breakfast. Trust us, you do not want to miss this one!

Warm ups start at 8:15 am. 10 and unders will warm up first.

There will be a pancake breakfast on the house for all registered swimmers! Pancakes will be served from 8-9 am. We will have gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and vegan options! Swimmers get first priority for pancakes, but siblings and other family members are welcome to partake if there are extras! Snack Shack will open at 9:30am.

For 6&Us -- Please declare your availability. The coaching staff will make final determinations of which events each 6&U swims at time trials. Age groups 7 and up -- generally your swimmers will swim all four strokes at Saturday time trials. Entries are ultimately up to the coaching staff and subject to change.

The Stroke and Turn officials will be following the league rules (you can find those in the league "Rules of Competition" handbook) for disqualification policies. It is in the best interest of our swimmers to have an accurate time based off of a *legal* lap of any given stroke for future seeding purposes. Early season warnings / Disqualifications should not be seen as a negative outcome but as an opportunity for your swimmers to work on stroke technique such that they have a legal stroke for future meets, where they can improve their official times and ultimately score points for the Dolphins at our league championships! 

Home meet reminders:

- behind the blocks is for 15-18 swimmers, coaches and shepherds only, no parents. (If your swimmer cannot get to the blocks themselves (ie younger swimmers) please drop them off and then leave the area right after.)

- To be respectful to the HOA please do not set up personal tents until 6:30pm or later on Friday nights and 3pm on Wednesdays.

- The Baby Pool is always closed and off-limits during meets.

- No throwing/catching balls on the pool deck during meets (the pool deck is very crowded, and we don't want anyone to get hurt!)

- No unsupervised kids in the parking lot please (again, we don't want anyone to get hurt!

Where/When Can I set Up my Chairs/Tents at Home Meets?

• Layout of the pool deck for meets at Livorna Pool: home side (us!) is near the entrance and the parking lot, away side is near the Baby Pool and Head Desk
• The area behind the blocks is for 15-18 swimmers, coaches and shepherds only, no parents. (If your swimmer cannot get to the blocks themselves (ie younger swimmers) please drop them off and then leave the area right after.)
• To be respectful to the HOA please do not set up personal tents until 6:30pm or later on Friday nights and 3pm on Wednesdays.
• The Baby Pool is always closed and off-limits during meets.
• There are bleachers under the cabana nearest to the blocks -- these are meant for spectators who are watching active races. Please feel free to use the bleachers to watch your swimmer race, and then exit the bleachers after that race so that someone else may watch their child's race. Please do not set up any chairs or tents that would block the walkway into these bleachers.
• Both sides of the second cabana (nearest the snack shack) is reserved for VIP seating -- this seating was purchased during our annual fundraising auction.
• Any remaining areas around the pool are for standing room only - please do not set up any chairs immediately next to the pool.
• Swimmers may stand and cheer for their teammates near the shallow end of the pool while the 9 and ups are racing; this area is reserved for timers when the 8 and unders are racing
