Swim Families,

Congratulations to all of our swimmers who competed in the Smoky Mountain Invitational this past weekend! We had some great swims and finished 14th overall!!

MEET VERSUS CHEROKEE COUNTRY CLUB (JULY 13)

Our final regular season meet will be held TOMORROW at Cherokee Country Club. The pool is located at 5205 Lyons View Pike. It is on the opposite side of the street from the main clubhouse.

Facility Details:

Parking: There is plenty of parking around the pool area. There will be overflow parking near the tennis and golf areas. If needed, there is parking across the street at the main clubhouse. There is a tunnel that runs under the street for easy access back to the swimming pool.

There are two pools at the Cherokee facility. The upper pool will be closed during the meet. There will be a lifeguard at the pool to keep the children out of the water.

Seating: All spectator seating will be around the upper pool. They will have a 20x10 tent set up for the team. It will be at the far side of the upper pool, closest to the tennis courts. This will allow easy access to the clerk of course for the swimmers. There are pool chairs for families and participants to sit. The lower pool, where the race will take place, is standing room only as there isn’t enough room for chairs and volunteers to move about the pool area. No outside tents are permitted.

Concessions: Cherokee will have a concession stand open during the meet. They will offer a full dinner buffet ( hamburgers, trimmings, salad bar, chicken tenders, waffle fries, pasta salad, fruit, drinks and dessert). Adults $10 and Children $6. The concession stand will be cash only. No large coolers please.

Meet Details: The meet will begin at 6:00 pm. We will have the pool for warm-ups starting at 5:30pm.
