Hey guys!

If you're going to the Tech meet on Thursday, please read. As an fyi, the only people allowed on deck are coaches, swimmers, and volunteers. Parents are to sit in the stands. Thanks! All info for the meet is also posted on the league website: http://atlantaswimming.com/NASAChampionships.

INFO NEEDED

I need to know if these swimmers can attend finals (Saturday) if they qualify. I know a few of you are working on it and have been in touch with me, just wanted to send the reminder!

VOLUNTEERS

We are still in need of 2 volunteers to be timers. We don't get to swim if we can't provide the volunteers. Please let me know if you can do it.

WARM-UPS

Please arrive at 7:15AM, plan for traffic. We will warm-up and then write on kids' arms. The good news is that we get to sit on deck again and not up in the stands! When you arrive, we will have coaches waiting upstairs to walk kids down in groups. If you don't see one of us, hang out in hall for a minute, and one of us will be there to gather the troops.

HOW DO WE KNOW WHO MAKES FINALS?

There will be a running list on the league website: atlantaswimming.org, and I will keep emailing updates as well. We are the 3rd session, but there are 3 sessions after ours, so we'll have to keep watching. The top 10 relays make it back and the top 40 (10&under) individuals/top 30 (11&up) individuals.

MEET INFO

The meet starts at 9 with the 6&u free relays and all medley relays, then 6&under free, all free relays, 6&under back, and then the rest of the individual events for 7&up. So 6&unders will be done earlier than the rest. There will be 2 pools going on at the same time. All girls will be in one pool and all boys will be in the other pool. Here is the link from the league that has general meet info, a seating chart, map to the pool and surrounding area, and where the results will be posted: http://atlantaswimming.com/NASAChampionships .

Parking-note from the league

Just a reminder that parking at Georgia Tech is unfortunately not free. You can save a little money if you prepay for your parking and get your pass in advance, please visit the following link https://gatech.clickandpark.com/ . Parking is $12 per day for the event.

Please only buy the day you need and make sure you select the correct day (Day 1 is Wednesday, Day 2 is Thursday, Day 3 is Friday, Day 4 is Saturday), no one will need an All Day pass. The cost for the advance passes is $12. If you do not prepay for parking you will need cash to park, the cost is $15 at the gate. Please be sure to share this info with your teams. A map to the area around the Aquatic Center can be found at : https://pts.gatech.edu/subsite1/Documents/Parking... There will also be signs around the venue that will point you in the direction of the lots for the meet.

Teams, please be advised that barring a miracle, traffic is still bad in Atlanta. Please advise your swimmers and families to build in a little extra time to account for any delays.

STATE QUALIFYING

For those that are trying to qualify for the Sandy Springs state team (state meet is July 20-21), there could be kids trying to qualify during all sessions Wednesday through Friday. As an FYI, you will see “SP5” before all names in the meet that are trying to qualify for state (not just our session, but the whole meet).

Thanks!
