Muirfield Marlins

Although specific individuals may be assigned for setup and tear-down, it is expected that all Muirfield parents help set up before home meets and clean up afterward, even if you are not assigned this task as a parent worker. If you cannot stay until the end of the meet, at least make sure you do your part to keep the pool area clean. With everyone's help, setup and tear-down goes very quickly.

For Home Meets the Muirfield pool closes at 4:00 pm to allow for setup.

Setup includes:

• Removing lounge chairs from the pool deck through the back gate.
• Two tables need to be moved to the corner near the deep end for the ribbon tables.
• The starter blocks must be carried from the storage room behind the bathrooms and put in place.
• Lane lines must be set and tightened.
• The announcer stand must be brought out from the same storage room as the blocks and set up at the corner of the deep end near the Ribbon Tables. The Public Address system needs to be set-up and checked.
• The Bullpen benches must be set in place in the corner of the deep end nearest the parking lot. The benches are stored in the pump room.
• The backstroke poles must be positioned approximately 15 feet from the ends of the pool. The flags must be stretched between the poles across the pool. The poles are on the pool deck and flags will be in the swim team meet container in the cabana storage room.
• The lane markers must be placed at both ends of the pool and the bullpen event numbers must be placed in front of the bullpen.
