It is on the grass area along the cement walkway towards the back bathrooms. Personal tents can be set-up on Friday at 6pm BEHIND THE TEAM TENTS. All tents can be left over night Friday and Saturday night. Please lower your tent before you leave Saturday and take home your tarp.

We are still in need of the following volunteer positions at Champs:

-Afternoon Snack Bar

-AM & PM Ready Bench

-Late Morning & Afternoon Grillers (in shaded area)

Since this year the Sugarbears can receive ALL profits generated from the Snack Bar, it is extremely important that we have it staffed adequately. If you are interested in any of these positions, check in at the Volunteer Table, Saturday morning and sign-up.

Every Sugarbear will be swimming every event at this two-day meet, if you have a time for each event and have swam in at least two dual-meets.

Champs will be held at the Roseville Aquatics Complex (RAC)- Woodcreek Blvd and Pleasant Grove Blvd (near Junction Ave). There will be over 1,200 swimmers at this meet, and over 3,000 people in attendance. Parking will be at a premium. The RAC has a very small parking lot.

Lanes 1-8 near the coaches table are the odd lanes. lanes 1-8 towards the entrance will be the even lanes. Please pay attention to which heat your child is scheduled to swim in. The meet will be circled seeded. Which means it will not be ran from the fastest to slowest heats. All heats will contain a variety of swimmers at different skill levels.
