Parking

Parking is limited and shown in green in the aerial photo. NO PARKING zones are illustrated in red. Please share rides as much as possible. All the meets at the Bright Water pool will have a large number of swimmers. Thank you for observing all NO PARKING signs. Park only in the pool parking lot and the lake side of Water Shine Way in front of the pool.

Pool Layout

Check the aerial photograph for the location of team bullpens and visitor seating. Visitor seating is on the lake side of the pool (opposite the clubhouse). The visitor bullpen area is located on pool deck on the shallow end of the pool.

Wheelchair Access

The main pool entrance next to the clubhouse is not wheelchair accessible. Parking for wheelchair access is in front of the tennis courts. Wheelchair access is between the tennis courts and down the sidewalk to the pool.

Inclement Weather

Swim meets are never canceled prior to the start of the meet. Do not call to find out if we are having a meet. The assumption is that the meet will be held but possibly delayed. Please show up on time ready to work your assignment and with your child prepared to swim. If the meet is postponed this will happen on the pool deck and the make-up time will be announced at that time. Every attempt will be made to swim the meet as planned before postponement.

Concessions

Heat sheets and snacks are available at the concession stand. The concession stand windows are located on the clubhouse deck overlooking the pool.

Scoring Table

The scoring and ribbon tables are located inside on the basement level of the clubhouse. Results will be posted on the scoring room window as they are verified. Only team officials and volunteers working the scoring and ribbon tables should be in the scoring room during the meet. Children are not allowed inside the scoring room. The first batch of ribbon labels is often printed at about 7:15 pm.

We strive to have scoring and ribbons complete 15 minutes after the last event.

Problems and Rules

If you have problems or concerns at a meet, you need to address them to your team Head Official or GCSL representative. Your team official will work for a resolution of the problem with the other team. Bright Water parents should contact Cathi Forscht, the Head Official (depending on meet), or Terilyn Clay, GCSL representative. This covers behavior of swimmers, calls by officials or the outcome of races. The rules for swimming each stroke are set out in the United States Swimming rules. Our league follows the start, finish, stroke and turn rules with the exception that we allow one false start before disqualifying someone for a false start. If a stroke judge disqualifies a swimmer for a stroke infraction, the judge will tell the swimmer what rule was broken. The swimmer should pay close attention so that it won't happen again in future races.

    Other Information

    • We plan to complete meets by 10:30 p.m. The 6 & under swimmers are generally finished by the halfway point in the meet. The final 8 & under freestyle relay event of the meet is generally complete by the halfway point after the short freestyle events, so those 6 & under and 7 & 8 year old swimmers who are not swimming breaststroke or butterfly may go home at that time.
    • Swimmers should bring sweats and more than one towel to each meet. It gets cool after dark. Bring chairs for parents and children if they will use them.
