Meet Details:

Avalon Gators vs. Glen Allen Gliders

Monday, June 17 at 6:00pm

The Gators look forward to hosting the Gliders.

Info for the meet is below:

Parking: The Avalon parking lot gets crowded and usually overflows onto nearby Heathfield Road. Please carpool if possible. We ask that you be mindful of our neighbors on surrounding streets and avoid parking in front of their driveways.

Warm-Ups: The Gliders warm-up will be from 5:30pm to 5:45pm. Please arrive early to accommodate the generation of heat sheets after swimmer check-in.

Seating: Guest team seating is located to the left side of the competitive pool just as you walk in the front gate. We will have chairs set up for your use. Seating is limited, so you may want to bring additional fold-up chairs. There is also a grassy area where tents can be set up and kids do like to run around. This is a good place for that!

Food: The Avalon Snack Bar will be open during the meet and will serve snack-bar fare (pizza, hamburgers/cheeseburgers, Chick-fil-A, soft pretzels, snow cones, ice cream, water, sodas, etc.). CASH ONLY, no credit or debit. There will also be a bake sale table with cookies, brownies and other sweets for $1.
