Please alert your team and families that all pool areas, except the lanes, are closed during the meet, including the kiddie pool and the playground, basketball and volleyball courts. (Swimmers should also remain clear from these closed areas, as well).
Additionally, out of respect for all swimmers and spectators, we do not allow drums or other noisemakers during the meet. We will have an announcer and DJ that will play music at the appropriate intervals throughout the meet.

Please let me know if you have any questions. WPT is awesome pool to swim at and HCC and WPT are great friends. Let's be respectful, clean up after ourselves and follow their directions. Parents- please watch your kids and make sure they're following the rules.
