Final heat sheets should be available between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Please note that our pool is a 25 yard pool. Reminder, each team is responsible for bringing their own heat sheets for your volunteers. Travis Country will provide stop watches (we are also using a Dolphin timing system), DQ slips, clipboards, and pencils.
Volunteer Info: Please send your volunteer info to our Volunteer Coordinator by 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Timers - We use the Dolphin Wireless timing system integrated with Meet Maestro. If you haven’t used these before you will receive instructions on their functionality before the meet / your timer shift.
Meet Time: The meet will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. There will not be any deck entries or last minute changes to heat sheets, only if there has been a computer entry error that needs to be corrected. Time permitting we will have a parents and/or coaches relay. The meet will conclude around 2:00 to allow the pool to open by 3:00 (in compliance with HOA guidelines).

Visiting Age Group Areas: The age group areas and visiting team areas will be located outside of the pool in the shady areas and on the basketball court, opposite the TC age group tents. We have trees on the outside of the pool for shade for our visiting teams. The ground is rough off of the basketball court. The basketball court surface requires protection. If you plan to bring tents, please bring something like flat pieces of wood to put under the supports to prevent damage – please also do not bring stakes to hold down easy ups as this has damaged our sprinkler system in the past.
Ready Bench: TC Ready Bench How To Document
Parking: Parking is limited. Please be good to our neighbors and do not block driveways. Also, remember not to park in crosswalks, intersections or near fire hydrants as APD has ticketed in the past.
**NOTE: Newly added NO PARKING signs have been posted along Republic of Texas on both sides of the street. Please be aware of this new parking restriction.
Concessions: Come hungry! Our Shark Shack serves a full breakfast and lunch menu. We start serving at 7am with Summer Moon coffee and amazing breakfast options, shift to lunch options around 10am, and keep serving through the end of the meet. We try to have something for everyone including vegetarian and gluten friendly options. We also serve a variety of drinks, sweet and salty snacks, fruit, desserts, and popsicles.
See a sample of our standard menu on the Concessions tab.
