TIMING: Our diving meets usually start at 4:00 PM, and visitors in the 8u, 9-10 and 11-12 age groups will, unless otherwise notified, have the diving boards for warm-ups from 3:30-4:00 PM. For meets with non-4:00 PM start times, warm ups are generally 30 minutes before the agreed upon start time. You can also check our Meet FAQs for a rough meet timeline.

It offers delicious snacks and food, including sandwiches and their renowned baked goods. Visitors are encouraged to stop by Mack's and enjoy something tasty to eat.

We have a kiddie pool with a fountain for our youngest visitors. Children who are not toilet trained and are in diapers or swim diapers are not permitted in the main pool.
