Parking:

Limited parking is available in both the upper and lower parking lots at the pool. Overflow parking is available in the community on Victory Lakes Loop. Please DO NOT park in fire lanes and stay within legal distance of all stop signs, crosswalks, and fire hydrants. Also, please be considerate of Victory Lakes residents and DO NOT park directly in front of mailboxes and driveways. There are 2 RESERVED parking spaces. The one in the upper lot is for your team’s computer volunteer and the one in the lower lot is for your Head Coach.

Warm-Up/A.M. Briefings:

*Our competitive pool is a six-lane 25 meter pool and is open daily to our residents. Therefore, we are under time constraints to complete a full swim meet. This puts pressure on everyone involved to keep the meet operating quickly and efficiently. Please instruct coaches, swimmers, and volunteers to be on time.

Directions to 12600 Victory Lakes Loop:

From Route 66: Take exit 44 to Rt.234. Follow Rt. 234 for 3 miles and turn right onto Sudley Manor Dr (first stop light). Follow Sudley Manor for 2miles and turn right onto Victory Lakes Loop, the pool complex is on the right-hand side of the road.

Visiting Team Area:

The visiting team set-up area is the grassy area behind the black pool fence located along the long side of the competition pool near the sand volleyball court. You may bring pop up tents and shelters as long as they sit on top of the ground. Please DO NOT block the open pool gates per Fire Marshall code.

Please DO NOT allow your swimmers to play in the volleyball pit – sand ultimately ends up in the pool.

Staging of Relays– no more than 2 heats may be behind the blocks at a time Please ensure your starter is charged and available in the event ours has issues

We also ask that you DO NOT set up before 8:30pm the night before the meet.

Visting team is responsible for trash in your designated are. 

Clerk of Course:

We have 2 Clerk of Course areas. One is the staging area located on the recreational pool deck. The other Clerk of Course filling area will be along the path behind the starting (or deep) end of the competition pool. It is very important for swimmers to report to the staging area of the Clerk of Course by the final call. If a swimmer reports after we have sent swimmers down to their lanes he/she may NOT be allowed to swim.

Volunteers:

We have TWO shifts of volunteers for our meets. The 1st shift ends and 2nd shift begins at 9:30 and runs through the end of the meet.
