NOTES FROM THE HOST

Please remember your parents and swimmers that parking at our facility is only for coaches and officials. No exception. Parents, swimmers, and general spectators are welcome to park at the Davis Park public lot first come, first serve. See the map attached.

No parking is allowed at the church.

This year marks the 12 ^th edition of the JAX50 as the event continues to be of great benefit to the swimming community in general. As you may be aware, the net proceeds from this weekend's event are used to fund swimming scholarships to nearly 300 children in Duval, St. Johns, and Clay County, and over the years, our very own JAX50 Sprint Dual Challenge has raised and granted over $100,000 in swimming scholarships to the benefit of nearly 1200 children in the community.

While we get ready to watch some of the fastest swimmers in the world perform at our pool this weekend, I would like to invite you to visit the event’s website at www.jax50.com to learn more about the event itself and explore ways you can contribute to our cause.
