For Our Guest Swim Families
FAMILY SET-UP: Both teams must share the large grass area behind the family pool. The visiting team will be on the back half side of the grass closest to the tennis courts, while the Barracudas will take the section closest to the pool. You can gain access to the pool or bathrooms by walking along the sidewalk or entering the lawn gate near the family pool. Spare Time permits us to open the back gate no earlier than 6:30 AM. No pop-up tents are allowed around the pool, only umbrellas/Sportbrellas. The grass section behind the meet/computer ops tent is reserved for Broadstone Board Member and Volunteer Chairperson families, hospitality volunteers, and spirit tent volunteers.
RESTROOMS: There are restroom facilities conveniently located adjacent to the team area for your use. Adults may also use the locker rooms near the racing pool behind the snack bar area. Our club requests that all swimmers use the restrooms located in the Kid’s Club next to the playground or the restrooms adjacent to your team area. The Kid’s Club (except for the restrooms) is off-limits.
PARKING: Broadstone Sports Club asks that visiting swim team park on the street on Haverhill Drive near the south end of John Kemp Community Park. This parking area provides convenient access to the large grassy area designated for your team set-up. We will have the back gate open at 6:30 AM. Thank you for your cooperation with this. There will be a volunteer checking cars at the front of the club helping direct you to Haverhill Drive in case some families end up at the main parking lot. Attached are two maps of the area showing where you can park.
OTHER POOLS & TENNIS COURTS: Broadstone Sport Club requires that all swimmers stay out of the family pool, kids’ pool, both hot tubs, and the steam rooms and saunas located inside the locker rooms. Please remind all swimmers to refrain from entering the tennis courts, throwing loose balls into the courts or playing around the practice wall.
FOOD & BEVERAGES: The Blue Rice Café at Broadstone offers breakfast and lunch items and beverages during meets. We also sell snow cones poolside during the meets. Thank you for your cooperation, and please let us know if you have any questions. Contacts: League Rep: Jamie Mills (916-502-3178) or President: Shawn Cooper (916-439-4303). We are looking forward to a fun season.
WARM-UP/COOL-DOWN LANE: The club has approved a warm-up/cool-down lane to be used at the next 2 home meets. This lane is to be used before or after a swimmers event and no other time. The lane that will be used is the one closest to the lifeguard tower in the family pool (located in the back).
TIME DROPS APP: Anyone at our pool (or family members offsite) can use the Time Drops app or web url to see a REAL TIME SCOREBOARD and RESULTS without waiting for Meet Mobile to be updated. Note that these results are unofficial and prior to DQ entries. You can favorite your swimmer, allowing their times to show in red and toggle between the live scoreboard (upper right button in the app) and the meet program. You will not be able to see the meet on the app until seeding is complete. Once that is done, you can locate the meet using this formula, assuming your team abbreviation in the blank.: MEET NAME: ___ at BB | PIN: 2025

SCRATCH SESSION: We are dedicated to doing whatever possible to achieve a start time of 8am and a finish time of 2 pm.
Both teams will complete scratches at their designated tables behind computer operations. The tables will be labeled for you and we have runners available to take your sheets to ops one at a time, as you complete them. IMPORTANT: We will print and distribute events 1-19 as fast as possible. We ask that you submit your early relay goldenrods (6U free + Medleys) before anything else. Your individual and late relay sheets can be submitted in any order you prefer after you complete the early relay sheets.
READY BENCH: Our club is using the Joint Ready Bench system using volunteers from both teams. The Joint Ready Bench is located adjacent to the Racing pool next to the scoreboard.Please provide 12 volunteers (6 volunteers for Events 1-41 and 6 volunteers for Events 42-83). The ready bench is shaded with pop-up tents.
STROKE & TURN: Both teams will provide trained stroke and turn volunteers. We will use one S&T official at each corner of the pool for all events except the free events (4 total: 2 from Barracudas and 2 from the away team). For the free events, we will have one official from each team on each side of the pool. Please provide 2 volunteers for the non-free events and 1 for the free events. We will meet at 7:30 am by the announcer roundtable for our pre-race briefing.
TIMERS: We are an 8-lane pool so we will need at least 12 timers from the visiting team per shift, 24 total for the entire meet. We will meet near the announcer table at 7:30am for a pre-race briefing.
