Team Suits: Parents you can go to swimandtri.com .  On the top left of the page is the team portal link, click on that.  Our team code is thesharks. Our team suit is the Optik Splice at the bottom of the page. If you have any questions about suit sizes, please contact Woody .   We would like for all swimmers to purchase a team suit to wear at meets. We would also like to ask each swimmer to purchase a pair of fins. The high schools have fins but not always the correct size. This is also a good place to purchase other items you might need for swimming.

Parking at Tennessee High

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!
