Tips - Mountain Home meet
- Add 20 extra minutes to your drive time.
- There are foggy patches along the drive in the morning.
- You will probably get behind a few RV's or Boats getting pulled to the lake.
- Baby wipes are handy for outdoor meets.
- A roll of TP in a plastic bag is helpful.
- Bring a trash bag for your tent.
- A yoga mat on the ground is a great place for kids to hang out, easier to transport than a bunch of chairs, and dries quicker than a towel.
- Sunscreen!
- Bottled water and hydrating snacks.
- Mountain Home has a Pro-Shop with different brands than we have. It is definitely a must check out!
- DO NOT park in the grass or bring glass bottles to the swim meet.
Mountain Home is in the process of building an indoor facility larger than the one in Pocahontas. The current Mountain Home pool is one of Coach Anna's favorite places to swim in the summer.
