Good evening,

Just want to update everyone on swim champs for Thursday and Friday.

This year parking is located at Striker Field, off of West Creek Parkway. The address is 12575 West Creek Parkway, Richmond, VA 23238. Use Gate 4.

JRAC is using Gate 3 and have ample parking. They advise giving yourself an hour before you need to be at NOVA. You can always drop your swimmer's off at NOVA and then drive out to the off-site lot. There will be 3 buses running throughout the day, starting at 6:30am. JRAC parking will be clearly marked at Striker Field. A huge thank you to Markel for allowing JRAC to use their facilities.

Warm-up Times:

Thursday, 8:00am to 8:30am in Lane 7

Friday, 7:30am to 8:00am in Lane 2

If you are swimming in one of the first events either day then please come to the warm-ups designated times. If you swim later in the day then you can come later to warm-up with one of the coaches in the cool-down pool. There is no need to warm-up early when you may be swimming hours later especially when it is going to be so hot out. 

Please arrive at least 30 min. early before warm-up. The Avalon parent reps will be in the tent with the coaches making sure everyone checks-in and knows what he/she is swimming. The reps have also done a great job with getting the tent set-up and also will have breakfast and beverages for everyone. 

Please bring your own coolers, snakcs, chairs and blankets, fans, etc. or whatever you may need to stay cool and comfortable as it will be a long day as well as Friday. If you need anything else please save my number, 804-201-7913, and text me when you get to champs if you need to warm-up.

See you all in the morning and the next two days.Go Gators and thank you to the parent reps helping out with Champs and getting everything set-up for all the swimmers, coaches and parents. You all rock!

Coach Jason
