Welcome to Southern B Champs!
This is a very fun meet with lots of spirit. In fact, we will be giving out Spirit Awards to the team that has the most fun
and shows it! Wear your team colors, make signs, participate in the parade of athletes, cheer and show how proud
you are of your team.
Below is everything you should need to know about B Champs. Read on.

We will have a representative posted at a drop off point to direct the swimmers down the path to the pool.
From SW 106th, turn South onto 34th street and curve around. The drop off is at 110th and 32nd.
DON’T GO DOWN 31ST UNLESS YOU ARE A COACH, OFFICIAL or HANDICAPPED (AND HAVE RESERVED SPOTS).
31st is a dead end and logistically a mess to turn around.
Team area opens at 2PM to set up your space (plenty of time prior to the first warm up). Please do not show up
earlier as we are still setting up for the meet and need to be able to move around and get things done.

Team Areas



Each team will be assigned a designated team meeting space on the tennis courts. Look for your team’s sign.
Please respect the tennis courts, we just had them resurfaced (read $$$) and want to keep them in pristine
condition.
Please pick up after yourselves. We will have garbage and recycling on the courts as well as throughout the pool
area.
Pool Logistics


Please only go ONE WAY around the pool. Go through Clerk of Course then out of the pool behind the bleachers
back to the pool area. This will help manage congestion behind the blocks and help the stagers with the smaller
kids. Please tell kids to respect this flow, it helps the younger ones!
We will allow warm up swimming in the dive tank, as long as it does not become a play area. The area is for lap
swimming only. If too many swimmers are playing around, we will shut this down.
Clerk of Course
 Clerk of course will be located at the South part of the pool. Please notify your swimmers of this location and
have them report to the Clerk of Course at the first call of their event.

Seniors need to only check in at Clerk of Course, they do not need to sit through staging. But please have them
check in, so we aren’t calling for them.
Concessions:
We will have pizza, burritos, salads available.
We will also have the usual, sodas, candy, ice cream available in the cabana area.
