2007 American Short Course Parking
On Wednesday, Thursday & Friday all coaches, athletes, and spectators must park in the parking garage. There is no parking in the lots around the Swim Center (TSC) before 5:45 PM.
The University has established a parking program in the Trinity Garage using an event swipe card. This is the garage across the street from the TSC. Please see the map above. The swipe card will allow you to enter and exit the garage as often as you wish Wednesday, February 21st through Saturday, February 24th. Athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators may purchase the card from the cashier in the Manor garage. The card is accepted in the Trinity garage with any overflow going to the Manor garage.
• As you drive into the garage, pull a ticket. You may purchase your card immediately if the Cashier's window is open, or, a t your leisure, you may walk over to the garage during the meet to purchase the card. Doing this will alleviate long lines and traffic congestion at the end of the session. Payment may be made by cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover.
• Once you have purchased your swipe card, you will not have to go to the cashier's window and get a validation; you may go straight to your car and use the swipe card to exit the garage. The swipe cards must always be used in the RED machines!! The yellow machines will not return the swipe card to you.
• Upon entering the garage, use the swipe card in the RED machine to gain access to the garage . If you use the swipe card, do not pull a ticket. If you use your swipe card to enter the garage, you must use your swipe card to exit , even if the garage gates happen to be open. If you do not swipe, the card will not work when you try to enter the next time. The machine will think you are still in the garage.
Swipe Card Prices:
$20 Wednesday through Saturday
$15 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
$10 Friday and Saturday
Remember this allows you to come and go as many times as you wish and will cover early morning swims, prelims and finals. If you decide you do not want to purchase the event swipe card, parking will cost $8 with no in/out privileges. Parking is available in C Lot 80, directly in front of the Swim Center , on Thursday and Friday after 5:45 PM and all day Sunday. P lease be aware of all posted signs including the “at all times” designation and stay away from the A and F spaces. As usual, UT “E” permit holders will be allowed access to garages.
On Saturday, February 24th , due to a basketball game at 3 PM, C-lot 80 is reserved by the Longhorn Foundation starting at 6 AM and will not be available for parking during prelims and possibly finals. Swimmers may be dropped on the back side of the TSC along San Jacinto where orange cones have been placed. This area is for dropping off only, no parking . Please do not drop off along MLK .
