Warm ups for 10&under events will begin at 7:30am. 11&up will follow the completion of the 10&under events. This meet should move quicker than the last, so please help your swimmer pay attention to the events they are calling so they can make it to the bullpen in time. Bring lots of water and sunscreen!

Clarksville Meet

Directions to Clarksville Meet

1. Take I-40 East to Exit 57 (2nd Clarksville Exit)
2. Turn left off of Exit 57
3. Turn left on Oakland Street or Taylor Street. You should be able to see the Clarksville City pool from either street.  

Helpful Hints before the meet!
*Warm ups at 7:30am for 10 & under; events begin at 8:00am.
*Warm ups for 11 & over will follow the completion of the 10 & under events. I suggest arriving by 10 or 10:30am.

1. Arrive early! You want to have time to get a good seat and get a heat sheet before the meet begins. I suggest bringing chairs, an EZ up tent if you have one, an ice chest with drinks and snacks, a highlighter and a permanent marker.

2. The heat sheet is like a program for the meet. It lists the schedule of events and tells you when your swimmer will compete. Look through the heat sheet to find your swimmer's events, heats and lanes. I will be happy to help you with this!

3. An announcer will be calling the swimmers to the bullpen based on their events. If you are swimming in an event that is called, it is essential that you get to the bullpen immediately so you do not miss your race. Once in the bullpen, the workers will call the swimmers name and seat them for the race. 

4. Relays are the first events! Be on time, your teammates are depending on you! I will let you know who is on your relay when you arrive on Saturday.

If you have any questions before the meet on Saturday, feel free to call or text Coach Erin @ 479-997-5185.
