ASA CHAMPIONSHIPS

The ASA Championship Meet at Georgia Tech is $35 per swimmer to attend. Our session is on Thursday, June 30, at 9:30am-1PM. There is no final sessions this year, only the one session and they will combine all sessions virtually to see the ultimate winners of each event. 

I need your form (attached) and $35 by Wednesday, June 22 if you are going to attend the meet. You can pay with cash or go to the website and click on “shop”. For those that want to participate in the state qualifying meet, we will use this meet as the state qualifying meet. The state meet is July 22 for 10&unders and July 23 for 11&ups at Cherokee Aquatic Center, and the Sandy Springs team will have practice somewhere in the area leading up to the meet.

FROM STATE TEAM

Hello Sandy Springs Swim Team Swimmers,

The City of Sandy Springs would like to invite you to participate on the Sandy Springs State Swim Team. This is an all-star team that will represent the city of Sandy Springs in the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association (GRPA) State Swim Meet at the Cherokee Aquatic Center on July 22nd and July 23rd, 2022.

To be eligible to swim on the Sandy Springs (SS) State Team, you must either be a resident of Sandy Springs or live in Fulton County and swim on a summer team that is located in Sandy Springs. Additionally, in order to qualify for the SS State team, you must swim in the GA Tech ASA Championship Meet (June 29 through July 2) and place in the top 3 for your event of those Sandy Springs swimmers who wish to participate on the State Team. This does not mean you have to place first, second, or third overall, just of the participating Sandy Springs swimmers. So, for example, if you are a 7 year old boy who places 50th overall but in the top three of the Sandy Springs swimmers who swim the 25 breaststroke event, then you can join the SS State Team. This may seem confusing, so if you have any questions about whether or not you qualify, please ask because you very likely will and we would love to have you on our team!

The cost for the swimmers will be $115 which will cover entry fees for the meet, t-shirts, caps, and coaches. Our team will be co-coached once again this year by Ben Miller and Luke Miller.

Practices will begin on Tuesday, July 5th at Spalding Woods Pool located at 900 Spalding Drive, Sandy Springs, GA 30328. The practice schedule is not finalized, but most likely, the 7-10 year olds will practice from 8:30am-9:30am and the 11 and up will practice from 9:30am - 10:30am. Our practices will be on Mondays through Fridays, but we may add some additional evening practices depending on pool and swimmer availability.

This was a lot of information, but what I need from you first is for you to email me or call me and let me know that you are interested, so that I can add you to my distribution list. Also, feel free to share this information with any other Sandy Springs swimmers who may be interested in the Sandy Springs State Team. This is a super fun event and gives your swimmers an additional 3 weeks of swim team. It is a great way to keep the summer fun going!

Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions or if you need any additional information.
