Hey Walden families,

Please find attached the Heat Sheet for tomorrow's meet at Downs. For new families, this will tell you which events your swimmer will be participating in tomorrow.

The pool address is 1485 Brookside Common, Annapolis, MD 21401. The have provided the following directions to their pool:

Downs Directions – Rt. 178N ~2 miles north of Annapolis Mall. Make a RIGHT (left if driving south) at Old General’s Hwy. Go 0.2 miles to Sherwood Forest Road and make a RIGHT. Go 0.2 miles and make a RIGHT onto Coachway. Go 1.7 miles and turn LEFT onto St. Edmond’s Place. Take the next RIGHT onto Brookside Common and an immediate RIGHT into the parking lot.

In addition, Downs asked me to pass along a couple of reminders for tomorrow.

1. Our warmups will start at 7:30 a.m., so please arrive in time for your swimmer to be ready to jump in at that time.
2. Again, please follow the No Parking signs that will be posted. Parking is only allowed on one side of the street in the pool neighborhood and you will be asked to move your car if parking happens on both sides (Parking is only permitted on the right side in the outbound direction).
3. Downs will have some tables and chairs but they are encouraging families to bring their own so there is enough seating for everyone. If anyone has a tent they would like to set up, they ask that tents are set up on the left side of the pool.
4. Downs will have a concession stand that will sell various cold and hot breakfast items and lunch treats.
5. Our team shirts will be available next week. I will hand them out at practice as soon as they are available.

See everyone at Downs in the morning. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Jim Higgins
