ENTRY & EXIT Locations

MAIN Door - front of the Aquatic Center lobby, door "A"

Only the lobby will be open for parent access during practice Monday - Saturday, due to containing traffic (non-DASH) throughout the HHS building. Feel free to bring a bag-chair and set up camp. The lobby AND stands will be open during practice on Sunday, unless it becomes a problem with "traffic". PLEASE clean-up after yourself when waiting in the lobby or spectator area. Thank you.
