Welcome to Shady Hollow! Below you will find important information in preparing for our upcoming meet.
Please send your entries by Thursday at noon to our Head of Computers to compile the meet file and let you know if we have any problems with your entries. It should be sent back to your team by Thursday evening for review. Please submit final changes by noon on Friday so we can release the final heat sheets before 5pm.
The Stingrays live at our five lane, 25 meter short course (SC) pool.
The pool is located at:

Parking: is available along the street only on Capistrano Trail and Silmarillion Trail. We will have a section blocked off for handicap parking and emergency vehicle access closest to the main entry gate. Please note that parking less than 20 feet from an intersection or parking in front of a fire hydrant will get you a ticket as enforced by the Sherriff.
