Sun Nov 2: Gingerbread Swim Meet

On Sunday, November 2, the Ridgewood Y will be hosting the Gingerbread Swim Meet, a large youth swim team competition. Here are a few things to be aware of around the facility over the weekend:

  • Parking lots and the surrounding street parking spaces will be very full. Please allow ample time to find a spot. Parking on a nearby side street or closer to downtown are alternative options.

  • Lap swim and family swim are canceled for Sunday. Regular sessions are still running on Saturday. Swim lessons are unaffected by the meet.

  • The gymnasium will be unavailable for open gym time on both Saturday and Sunday. It is used as a staging space for athletes during the meet, and needs to be set up beforehand. Youth programming will run as scheduled in the gymnasium on Saturday morning.

  • There will be extra foot traffic throughout the facility on Sunday as athletes and spectators move between spaces. The safety of our members and visiting athletes is a top priority, so there will be signage and volunteers helping to keep things moving and to assure safety for all.

Thank you for your cooperation! We’re looking forward to the event. Good luck to all the swimmers competing!
