Below is the Prelim meet information from Hills West (with a couple notes from me.)  If you were signed up for tomorrow but you know that your swimmer is not going to be able to make it tomorrow, please let Coach Emilie know ASAP so that she can tell the Scoring people. 

Volunteers: We still need 3 more Shift 2 Timers for tomorrow!  Assuming all goes as planned, the meet should only go until 10:00am so hopefully there are 3 more people who can do a shift 2 position.  

There are NO COMBINED EVENTS tomorrow!

We will be sitting in a big grassy field so bring LOTS of SHADE and bug spray!  OK, that's all I can think of for now.

TUESDAY – JULY 11, 2023

9-10 and 11-12 PRELIMS

The Hills West Waves are pleased to welcome you to our pool for the MHSL Division C Prelims Day 2 on Tuesday, July 11, 2023. We are looking forward to a great meet filled with lots of smiling swimmers and families as well as a safe, fun, fast, and friendly competition!

Below you will find information to share with your coaches and families regarding Saturday’s meet.

Hills West Pool: 10458 E. Crestline Pl., Englewood, CO 80111

The pool is located just inside the Hills at Cherry Creek West neighborhood, off of Havana St. You may enter the neighborhood from Havana St. or Belleview Ave.

Parking: There is very limited space available in our small parking lot – we will have one (1) reserved parking space each team – each team may decide who from their team parks in their reserved spot. There is no parking on either side of the curved median directly in front of the pool entrance to Havana St., as this is the entrance to the neighborhood and these homes will have cars ticketed.

Cones will be placed in this area as a reminder for cars not to park there. You may park along the streets throughout the Hills West neighborhood. Please do not block driveways. There is NO PARKING allowed along Havana Street in front of the pool as it is a weekday.  (If you've been there on a Saturday make sure you pay attention to this part!)
