Our meet this week is at Indian Hill. Indian Hill's Swim club is located at 7585 Shawnee Run Rd. Directions

Dive warmup is at 3:30pm and Dive meet starts at 4pm. Swim warm-up is at 6p and meet begins at 6:30pm. My advice is to get there at least 30 minutes ahead of time. Our friends at IH have provided the below instructions for parking.

Parking:

Parking is available in our lot and across the street at St. Gertrude.

• Please do not park on any grassy or mulched areas in our parking lot
• Please only park in our parking lot in marked parking spots or St. Gertrude’s parking lot - not along the road going back to the club
• Please drive slowly down Dot in front of the house - there are two speed bumps there as well
• You may drop off swimmers in the circle, but please do not block the area or park in the circle

My advice on parking is simply this, if you are not at the diving meet, plan on parking at St Gertrude.  Feel free to drop your swimmers off at the club, but let's be very cautious down the private drive.  IH will tow your car if you are not parked correctly.  Please don't.  

Team Areas: Forest Hills team area will be by the lower pool, behind the Clerk of Course - we are sharing this areas with IH. Forest Hill's area is circled below in white. IH is asking that all of us be very cautious around the hill by our lower pool, and not to use it as a running hill :) Please remind swimmers and families to clean up their areas before leaving. There will be multiple trash cans in the area. There will be some tents for younger age groups and those areas marked. Please, please, please have your kids stay in those areas and go to them. Bathrooms are up the stairs by the entrance. We will be swimming at the lap pool, not the main pool (which will be closed for the meet).  

A note about Clerk of Course and IH's setup. IH has an 8 lane pool with blocks on both sides. Two more lanes means that kids will be in lanes 1-8. Timers will be by the tennis courts always. For 25 events, kids will start by the clerk of course. For the 50s and 100s individuals, they will start by the timers. For the 100m relays odds will be by the clerk of course and the evens by the timers. It's a different setup and if you are an age group parent, please note this.

Seating- There are levels by the lap pool for viewing. My advice is to bring a chair to sit on in case there is not enough setting on those levels. They do not provide many chairs, so be prepared to bring yours.

Snack Shack: Snacks and drinks are available at the snack shack - CASH only (FH is not the only one!). IH will be having 2 food trucks available for your team to purchase items from -- Smokin' Dews BBQ and Kona Ice. They will be in the lower parking lot, right next to the team areas.

Timers Meeting: Will begin promptly at 6pm. All first and second half timers are expected to attend. FH will be in lanes 2, 4, 6, 8. 

Forest Hills Warmup: 6-6:25

Meet will begin at 6:30

Just a note and not sure if it changed, but IH doesn't have lights on their pool. We should be done by 8:30-9pm. That also means that the meet is going to go fast. Even with two big clubs like ours, we will go pretty quickly.  

My ask of everyone is to be courteous of our hosts and clean up and have a great meet on Thursday!

Go Sharks!
