SET-UP:

NOTE: The families assigned to tent set-up for a meet should communicate prior to the meet to coordinate collecting and transporting the tents to the meet.

1. The tents are stored in a closet on the west side of the south pool bathrooms. The Stonegate pool lifeguard office has the key for the storage closet. Pick up the tents the night before away meets. If you wait until the day of the meet the pool will be locked!!

2, The tents are large enough that a minivan, pickup or SUV is needed to transport them to away meets.

3. Parts include the large red/white tent, small blue/white tent (stored in a green tent bag), blue pole bag, green pole bag, and green stake bag with plastic stakes. The stake bag also has two rubber mallets for driving the tent stakes.

4. Setting up both tents takes about 20 minutes, depending on the amount of help available.

5. Set up both tents for all meets (home AND away). Try to pitch them side-by-side, as close as practical to the Stonegate heating area.

6. Pitch the tents with east sides lower (only one pole section high) to maximize interior shade. Use only plastic stakes. The middle row and west edge poles should be two sections tall.

7. Mark the guy lines with vinyl hazard tape (in stake bag). Where possible, attach the guy lines from the two tents together to minimize the tripping hazard.

8. The tents should be up, and ready for swimmers to move in, no later than 15 minutes prior to the scheduled warm-up for our team. If warm-ups are scheduled to begin at 6:45 (as for home meets), the tents should be up by 6:30. If warm-ups are scheduled to begin at 7:15 (as for most away meets), the tents should be up by 7:00.

TAKE-DOWN:

NOTE: The families assigned to tent take-down for an away meet should communicate prior to the meet to coordinate transporting the tents back to Stonegate.

1. When taking down the tents fold, then roll-up, the large tent and put it in the large tent bag. Fold and roll the smaller tent, and put it in the other green tent bag. Put the poles from the large tent in the blue pole bag, and the poles from the smaller tent in the green pole bag. Put the rubber mallets and stakes in the green stake bag.

2. Pick up all trash from under the tents and police the surrounding area. Give all found items to the Parent Reps so they can be put in Lost and Found.

3. The tents must be taken down and returned to the Stonegate pool storage closet after meets. The tents are large enough that a minivan, pickup or SUV is needed to transport them.

4. The tents are stored in a closet on the west side of the south pool bathrooms. The
