Should be a great day for swimming on Saturday – the Lucas Valley Lightning will be on fire!

Message from the ORCAS
The ORCAS welcome the Lucas Valley Lightning to Terra Linda on Saturday! The meet starts at 8:30 am and your warm-ups will be at 8:00 am.
PARKING
The pool has a small parking lot, which is usually pretty full by 7:45. Most of the parking is on the street. There is a Shopping Mall lot across the street. In consideration of our neighbors, we ask people NOT to use the spaces directly adjacent to the buildings, i.e: Scotty’s Market and the other small businesses. This parking is for their customers.
NOTE: Anyone parking next to or in front of Ashy’s Nail Salon (on the near corner) is in serious danger of being towed! (No joke!)
POOL
We will save the grassy area behind the wading pool for your team. This is to the right as you enter the gate. There is a fair amount of space, and not a lot of shade. You are welcome to bring your tents. Note: the wading pool will be closed during the meet, and we also ask for help keeping swimmers out of the shallow area of the main pool.
OFFICIALS
Because of the configuration of the pool we need 2 Stroke and Turn Judges from each team for each shift (four in all for the meet). There is one judge at each corner, to cover that quadrant.
Our Referee will be Bruce Keith-Brown. Our Head Timer is Bart Saling. Please have your timers check in with him at 8:00. We have 8 lanes, so we need 8/2 *3) 12 per shift from your team.
COACHES
The Orcas Head Coach is Tim Baker. Our assistant coaches are Andy Benoit and Gina Castagnola..
SNACK BAR
We have a most excellent snack bar, if I do say so myself. Please encourage your team to visit it for meals and refreshments.
The Orcas are looking forward to a fun meet! We will have the coffee ready for you! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
