Warm-ups (see Warm-Up Lane Assignments)

During both morning and afternoon sessions, FCC will warm-up in lanes 3 and 4 of the 'scoreboard pool'. Morning warm-ups are 8:25-8:50am and afternoon warm-ups are 12:45-1:10pm.

The GFSL has provided an extensive parent packet with all parking info, facility rules, and session times. Please read through this thoroughly: 2026 GFSL Championship - Parent Packet

Some important highlights:

  • The morning session will utilize 1 pool. The afternoon session runs in two pools, a girls' pool and boys' pool. For the afternoon, the pools will run at the same time. Girls' events will be odd numbered, boys' events will be even numbered. Swimmers in the afternoon should be aware that the events will be going by 2s. For example, if the current event in the boys' pool is 56, then the next event will be 58.
  • No parents are allowed on deck (unless with proper volunteer credentials)
  • Swimmers will enter through the locker rooms and be located in our team's assigned area. FCC is #7 on the Team Deck Seating Assignment.
  • Swimmers should pack a towel, sweatshirt (A/C in the GAC gets cold), small snacks, and a water bottle. Swimmers can bring their normal swim bag on deck.
  • Parents and spectators are not allowed to bring outside food or beverages into the facility. Coolers are not permitted. The GAC is very strict on this policy. One exception is caffeinated beverages, so bring your morning coffee. The GAC does offer concessions and there will also be a number of food trucks outside!
  • Review the GAC Clear Bag Policy for parents and spectators, including volunteers on deck.
  • Review the full GAC Facility Rules
  • The meet will be streamed on the GAC YouTube Channel
  • There is an app! Download the Hytek MeetMobile app on the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.  The MeetMobile app is free and you can view general meet information and your swimmer details, however there is a subscription if you wish to follow real-time results. 
  • The GAC charges a $10 Parking Fee. Coaches and volunteers are given a parking pass.  Volunteers - If I did not give you your parking pass at practice yesterday morning, it is in your family folder at the FCC Pool welcome hut.  Please stop by and pick that up!
