Beaver Buzz: Happy Fathers Day! Sac City TRI-MEET, Rivercats Night!
Happy Fathers Day! Thanks to all the Beaver Dads that help make the season happen. Great Job to everyone on such a strong SWIM-A-THON fundraiser. We are still accepting donations.
PLEASE DECLARE YOUR SWIMMERS FOR THE TRI-MEET BY WEDNESDAY, June 24 at 8 PM!
The Week Ahead
Saturday June 27th
This week's meet instructions are a bit longer as the meet is at Sac City College. Please be at check-in between 7:00- 7:30 AM. It is important to be on time so that we aren’t chasing down late arrivals while trying to coordinate warmups. This is an indoor meet so we will need zookeepers and parents and the younger kids to stay in or near their respective tents, with entertainment to pass the time between races.
Location
The Sacramento Stingrays are currently swimming at Sacramento City College:
Hoos Pool - Sacramento City College
3835 Freeport Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95822
Parking/Pool Entrance
Although the school address is on Freeport Blvd, you will enter off of Sutterville Rd and turn into the campus at the football stadium.
You may park in the small lot near the pool entrance (West lot), in the parking structure (we expect it to be open), or in the very large lot behind the parking structure. The facility does technically require a parking pass, which can be purchased at the stations in the small lot and on the second floor of the parking structure for $2. The school has not been ticketing, but parking without a pass is at your own risk.
Estimated Timeline
Scratch begins at 7:45 Saturday morning, so please schedule your check-in time accordingly.
The visiting team's warm-ups are from 7:45-8:15. Please use the schedule below to plan your morning (we try very hard to stick to this schedule):
7:00: Facility opens
7:10-7:40: Stingrays warm-up
7:45-8:15: Visiting team warm-up
8:00: Stroke & Turn and Timers meetings on deck
8:20: Team cheers
8:25: Timers to their seats
8:25: 6u and 7-8 relays to the blocks
8:30: Meet begins!
Pool/set-up location
Please note that the pool itself is INDOORS and will be noisy, and it can be very hot and humid. Although we will have the door open on the north side of the building for ventilation, everyone must enter the pool from the south door. Team areas must be set up on the grass, but you may set up anywhere on the grass. We must keep walkways clear for campus police. We recommend sharing tents if possible so that you aren’t too far away! There is limited bleacher space inside, so we request that families do not camp out on the bleachers.
Restrooms
Restrooms are located in the baseball stadium, which is right next to the pool entrance. There are locker rooms with restrooms on the pool deck, but these will be used for last minute swimmer restroom visits only.
Snack Bar
We have a Snack Bar with a variety of fresh and packaged food items. We accept cash, card or tap, but far prefer card or tap pay, when possible.
