Location and Parking Information: 

The pool is located at: 100 Autumngate Drive, Cary, NC 27518 

Parking: 

The parking lot at the pool is very small and limited. Please park along one side of Autumngate Drive and Copper Hill Drive as you enter the neighborhood. Cones will be marked to block off one side for emergency vehicles. If families can carpool, that would help with some of the parking shortage and distance they would have to walk to the pool.

Visitors are encouraged to bring a folding chair(s) and/or a tent to our home meets, as there is limited seating. 

Barracuda swimmers can set up on the right-hand side of the pool from entry gate. 

This is a 5 lane 25 Yard pool with lights so we can swim past dusk if necessary.

Glenridge swims in lanes 1, 3, and 5 for main events, with lane 1 being exhibition. 

The visiting team swims in lanes 2 and 4 for main events.
