LJST home meets will be held at the Lake Jackson Recreation Center. 

91 Lake Rd, Lake Jackson, TX 77566

For regular meets (non-mock meets) enter through the double doors at the northwest corner of the Natatorium (by the leisure pool small slides). Do not enter through the Recreation Center front entrance.

The Recreation Center charges a $2 spectator fee to all those who are not swimmers or meet volunteers.

Due to the limited seating in the stands, the facility gymnasium is provided to setup seating during the downtime. To protect the gym floors, blankets are required to set seats, coolers, etc. The gymnasium is historically very cool, especially for swimmers who are still wet. Bring extra towels and or covers.

There is a limited amount of space on the bleachers for spectators to sit and watch the races poolside. Please do not set down bags or chairs in that area! We want as many people as possible to be able to watch their swimmer. Please watch your swimmer and then head back to the gym.

ABSOLUTLY NO FOOD OR SUGARY BEVERAGES are allowed in the Natatorium (only in the gym).

The leisure pool is closed. Please keep your swimmers out of the leisure pool. It is only available for warmup WITH a coach present. Otherwise, it is closed.

As soon as you arrive, please CHECK IN at the table near the leisure pool. This is where you will let us know that your swimmer is here. IF YOU DON'T do this, we might end up scratching your child from the meet. This may also DQ an entire relay team at regular meets.

Ready bench is provided to all 10 & under swimmers. It will be located between the slides near the leisure pool. Please listen to announcements of which event numbers should be at ready bench.

All 11 and up swimmers are expected to report directly to their lane for their race. Please pay attention to the current event, as their will be no delay to wait for a late swimmer. There typically is a coach behind the blocks, to get swimmers to the right place, but it is ultimately your swimmer's responsibility to be in the correct area before their event.

Please clean up your area after the meet and do not leave it to others to do it for you.

Typically, we do not have access to the gymnasium for mock meets. All spectators are expected to sit in the stands.

Most importantly, have fun! This is a competition, but it should be an exciting and enjoyable experience for the kids. Remember, your swimmer is racing against themselves, not the others in their heat. If they improve their time, that is a win. Placing is just the "icing on the cake." Small improvements lead to significant progress over the season.

Additional items you could consider bringing:

• Blanket for gym floor protection
