All swimmers need to complete a new BASA Swimmer information sheet. Any swimmer who does not have a current 2009 USS registration on file with BASA, SES, and USS needs to complete the Athlete registration form and return it to a BASA board member. Any parent who wishes to serve as meet officials need to have completed the necessary requirements and must have completed a Non-Athlete registration form. All of these forms can be found in the handout below.

We're having some problems again with the parking situation during and after practices at Tennessee High...especially parents who are picking up their children after practice!
Parents, swimmers, and coaches MUST park in legal parking spaces at and around Tennessee High/Viking Hall. All areas painted in RED are fire lanes. The areas painted in YELLOW are no parking zones (several of those will soon be changed to RED). All of the parking spaces along the fence next to the track are reserved for the Tennessee High athletic busses. The police will begin ticketing and towing any vehicles that are parked in the fire zones.
BASA would like to suggest two areas that you can park...
1. In the THS back parking lot. This would require that you cross Southside Ave.
2. On Edgemont Ave. in front of Viking Hall and the THS track. There are no streets to cross.
BASA must abide by all rules and laws. By not following those rules, we could put ourselves in a position of not being able to use the swimming pool!
