Dowden Terrace Pool is at 6300 Holmes Run Parkway, Alexandria, VA 22311. The Gator caravan will leave our pool promptly at 4:50PM. If you are driving directly, all attending swimmers need to be at the Dowden Terrace and ready to jump into the pool (caps and goggles on) by 5:20PM. The meet starts promptly at 6:00PM.
- No kickboard or assisted swim events will be held at this meet.
- The order of events will be freestyle, back stroke, breast, butterfly and then IM. Young Gators, please do not try to swim an IM until you are confident that you have mastered all 4 strokes. Parents check with coaches if you need verification for you swimmers.
- Last check we still needed several volunteers for ALL of our jobs. Dowden Terrace has requested that we send 9 timers, 2 stroke and turn officials, 2 marshals, 2 clerk of course and our own table workers. Volunteer at https://www.foresthollow.com/volunteers/
- Your swimmers should bring a least 2 towels and or a blanket. Bugs will be out so bug spray is also an option. Also be aware that their parking lot is very small so you will likely have to park in the neighborhood and walk to the pool. Allow extra time for this.
- In the parking lot pull ALL the way into each space and along the wooden fence. Park as close to the fence as possible.
The Dowden Terrace Dinner will be open and ready to serve you delicious burgers, dogs and other delicious treats! Come hungry!
