May I take a shower after my swim or change my clothes?
Pool Locker Room – Racers may not take showers in the pool locker room during your transition from the swim to bike. You can change your clothes in the locker room but you must bring all of your gear in and out of the locker room with you. You cannot store any items in the locker room after your swim. Any items left in the locker room will be considered ‘abandonment of gear’ and may result in a timed penalty.
ONLY Racers that have been seeded or those who have purchased lane bids may bring gear onto the pool deck. Those are the only swimmers that have lap counters with chairs where racers can place their gear. All gear must be taken with you after your swim or it too will be considered ‘abandonment of gear’ and may result in a timed penalty. If you plan to change clothes between your swim and bike you must put your items in the locker room just before you go onto the pool deck. Please follow the instructions of the volunteers and be especially watchful of racers running through the locker room during their transition from the swim to bike.
High School Gym Locker Room – If you must shower between your swim and bike you can do so using the locker room in the gymnasium building adjacent to the pool building (in the High School Gym). It is very difficult when coming out of the pool to get on the other side of the T1 fences to utilize the locker room at the High School. In order to do so, you have to run back down the hallway you were lined up in, and go out the south entrance (door by the stairs leading upstairs to the spectator area), to run down the the sidewalk to the High School Gym.
There will be access to the High School Gym locker rooms from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the day of the event. Anything left in the locker room after 4:00 p.m. must be picked up from the school the following day when school is in session.
