Upon arrival at the Richfield pool:

Enter and exit through the gate on the south side of the pool near the concession stand.
Swimmers should immediately start stretching and preparing for practice as soon as they arrive. The pool time
(time in the water) is very expensive to the club. Please be ready to get in the pool at our scheduled time
to get the full benefits of our practice time.

Parents and siblings are welcome to stay and watch practice in the concession area. Only swimmers and coaches
are allowed on the pool deck.

The gate to the pool will be locked at 10:45am each morning. NO ONE will be allowed into the pool area after
10:45am without paying the daily admission fee. This is due to the Richfield Community Pool opening their
wading pool at 11:00am.

Practice runs until 11:30 and then ALL swimmers are expected to help put lane lines away and help clean up the
pool deck before we may leave.
