Parents,

It's almost the big event!  We can't wait to see our torpedoes make a splash at Champs!

Please note that swimmers will be asked to check in with their coaches 20 minutes prior to the start of warm ups. Upon arrival, swimmers will go to the Twin Hickory Assigned Bleachers where they will find their coaches. Parents are NOT allowed on deck and are asked to please find a place to sit on the bleachers/stands upstairs. During the race and between events, swimmers may come up to visit parents, but be mindful of your events so you don’t miss out! It is encouraged to bring food and beverages, but concessions will also be available for purchase on site. Also important to note is Champs swimmer results will be updated in Meet Mobile the day of the race.

**Bleacher/Stands seating is limited, so it is recommended to arrive early and/or bring chairs to reserve your spot!**
