This is a BIG email with lots of information about the next 8 days. Thank you for taking five minutes to read through. Can’t believe this is the last full week of swim team activities! We have our last in-season meet at Quail Hollow on Tuesday and the TSA Championship meet for some of our swimmers on Sunday.

• Address: 800 Orleans PL, Raleigh, NC
• LPK Warm-Ups: 5:30 PM (please arrive closer to 5 to check in)
• Meet Start Time: 6:00 PM (timer/officials meeting at 5:45)
• Parking:The main pool parking lot is reserved for LPK. (It is very small).Additional street parking is available along Quail Hollow Dr. and the side streets. Please do not park on Orleans Pl.
• Team Seating: The visiting side is on the upper, middle and lower decks. There is not shade on the middle and upper decks. There is ample space for tents, and we encourage families to bring them. Our pool side space is not huge, so we just have to mingle together a bit. The area behind the blocks is off limits for seating. We need this whole area for clerk of course set up.

Food & Concessions
Jessica's Food Truck will be on site, and they take all forms of payment. The snack bar will be open and takes credit cards, debit cards and Apple Pay only. Per TSA rules, no alcohol is permitted on the pool deck during swim meets.
