    Warm ups:

    ALL SWIMMERS MUST WARM UP. THE POOL LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT COMPARED TO CABANA POOLS! This is especially key to our 6u, 7/8 , and 9/10 swimmers. It is key that your swimmer is used to the pool and the diving blocks. They are different from any other pool we have swam in this year. I know it is early, but it will make a huge difference in their swimming and comfort level at champs. It also allows the coaches to help any swimmers prior to their race.

    What to bring/not to bring to champs:

  • This is a very long day so please come prepared: EZ-ups, chairs for your family (3-4 families per EZ-up please), lots of sunscreen, hats, healthy snacks, drinks, and games to keep your swimmers occupied. Also bring blankets, towel and anything else you would bring to any other meet. It is very hot in Morgan Hill! Bring lots of water and keep everyone hydrated. Every year there are people who do have trouble with the heat. Please take care of yourself, the swimmers, and those around you.

    • You may NOT bring:

    Chalk is not allowed at the facility. Please do not put it in buddy bags or bring any to the champs pool.

  • Tarps to cover the grass, tents with bottoms, BBQs, RVs or alcohol. If you bring any of these items into the team area (or anywhere else), you will be asked to put them back in your car. Anyone with alcohol will be ejected from the facility.

    • Program Sales: $20 for a program- CASH ONLY The league has We have ordered a minimum amount so once they are gone, they are gone! These have your ads in them.

    Caps and swim suits- You may not wear a cap with any logo other than an Oaktree logo. You may wear another cap, but it needs to be plain.

    Tech Suits- If you choose to wear a tech suit it needs to be an approved suit. It cannot be bonded, and has to have seams. 12 and unders cannot wear tech suits.

    KT tape- No KT tape can be worn.

    Plan on the meet ending around 5:00

    Lots more information to come about champs!
