FRIDAY NIGHT DISTANCE EVENTS at MESSIAH COLLEGE

There is NOT an admission charge at Messiah College. Keep in mind that spectator seating will be on bleachers at "pool deck level".

Parking at Messiah College - There is NO parking in front of the building, but beside the building there is plenty of parking for everyone. Please do NOT drop off in front of the Sollenburger Sports Complex. Allow yourself enough time to park beside the building and walk to the front of the building. If we have over 100 cars trying to drop off in front of the building, along with all the construction, we will have a severe traffic problem. Warm-Ups begin for those swimming the 500 free at 4:30pm, Please allow yourself enough time to get to Messiah College [directions] and park the car, as well as walk to the pool.

OFFICIALS - If you will be attending this meet, please email Mike (mike@wsyswim.org) and indicate your willingness and availability to volunteer.

Spectator gallery - CV High School spectator balcony has seating for up to 375. The balcony seating is LIMITED to 375 and this is a “controlled seating”. By order of fire marshal and CV school district, the meet host can NOT allow more than 375 spectators in the spectator gallery at any time.

Meet volunteers will be enforcing the rule of "no backpacks, stadium seats, or lawn chairs in the spectator gallery". You will be limited to a small purse or personal item. There is also no food permitted on the pool deck and in the bleachers. Security will be present on the pool deck to enforce the "no food on deck rule"

Heat sheets will NOT be provided until 15 minutes prior to the start of the meet. Coaches are given the opportunity to "scratch back" any athletes known to be absent from the meet during the warm-up period immediately preceding each session. This eliminates unnecessary empty lanes, provides a more competitive environment in every heat, and allows the session to run in a timely manner. Parents should know that heat sheets will be provided just prior to the start of each session and may also be accessed on your mobile device.
