The Pleasanton Seahawks and the city’s Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center are playing host to the Far Westerns swim meet this weekend that is expected to draw around 1,500 teen swimmers to town.
The competition, which will begin Thursday and run until Sunday, will see swim teams arrive each morning starting at around 6:30 a.m., with races commencing at 9 a.m. and continuing until about 8 p.m. each day.
City officials said they’ve worked closely with the Seahawks to develop plans for a successful competition and reduced impact on the neighborhoods surrounding the aquatic center, which is located at 4455 Black Ave. near Santa Rita Road.
Participants were encouraged to carpool when possible, obey traffic laws to help reduce neighborhood impacts and use overflow parking that has been reserved Saturday and Sunday at Gingerbread Preschool, Alisal Elementary School and Amador Valley High School, city officials added.
For more information, contact city recreation supervisor Tracy Newman at 931-3423.
It’s great that our city can host such a prestigious swimming event. The children swimming in this meet must invest an incredible amount of their time practicing in the pool to be able to attend this meet.
Pleasanton Seahawks have fraudulently charged my credit card for approx. $700 AFTER I have pulled my 8 years old child from the training program.
The organization is using the fine print to coerce penalties on parents. This is an
abuse which should not be allowed to continue.
Definitely are area to about around 3pm on Thurs and Fri
