Hi all,

I apologize now for the amount of emails you will get from me over the next few days, but SO MUCH going on with 2 meets and a team party!  Please read carefully and RSVP for the team party if you haven't!

Schedule note - for those going to Tech, we will have practice on Tuesday morning: 9-10am for all 10&unders; 10-11 for all 11&older (no ribbons/donut practice)

Theme - The theme for Monday's meet is "fire and ice" and we're fire...wear as much red as you can!  I'm going to hit up Dollar Tree to see what I can find too!

Team pictures - I got a text today saying they are shipping them to my house.  Hopefully they get here by the party...if not, we will figure it out!

To pay the $12, go to "shop" and click on the 2023 Team Party non-swimmer Dinner. Please do so by TODAY.

NOTE FOR PARENTS-LETICIA AND CAROLINE-skip this part!

We would like to thank Parent Coordinators Leticia and Caroline for all the time and energy they have put into making this year a success for our swim team. Usually the previous parent coordinators collect money for a gift card, but our previous coordinator is no longer on the team, so please venmo me (Julie) or give me cash at practice if you would like to contribute. My venmo handle is @Julie Ferris476.

Thank you in advance for donations for our thank you and thanks to those that have already contributed!

READ BELOW (all the way to the end) ONLY IF YOU ARE ATTENDING GA TECH:

We will have morning practice on Tuesday. I would like to consolidate our practices since the whole team isn't attending the meet. We will have all 10&unders practice from 9-10AM on Tuesday and all 11&ups practice the normal 10-11.

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: https://asa.swimtopia.com/championship

VOLUNTEERS

We will need volunteers, but I won't know until later today or tomorrow what our job is and how many we need. The league said we will know by Saturday.

WARM-UPS

We will find out our warm up time this weekend as well. We will all meet outside the aquatic center (750 Ferst Dr, Atlanta) at a specified time and all go in together.

MEET INFO

The meet starts at 9:30 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. There will be 2 pools going on at the same time. All girls will be in the pool to the right as you look from the stands and all boys will be in the other pool, closest to the scoreboard. There is a diagram on the league site if you want to see it: https://asa.swimtopia.com/championship

Parking-note from the league

Prepaid parking will be available in the W10 parking deck that is adjacent to the CRC. To park in this deck, you must prebuy a parking pass, you cannot pay at the gate. To prepurchase parking please visit https://gatech.parkmobile.io/events . Parking costs will be between $12-15. Overflow parking for W10 and any day of parking for those who did not prepay is located at the W23 lot at 905 State St. These are relatively short walks from the pool. A map of the area can be found at Georgia Tech General Parking Map and ASA Parking Diagram and Map Please plan accordingly.

Please don’t park anywhere else, unless you want your car ticketed, booted or towed. Due to construction around campus please try to carpool to alleviate congestion. 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 14-15), 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).

CONCESSIONS

Large coolers are not allowed inside, but feel free to send a small cooler with your swimmer. They aren't sure what concessions will look like, so send snacks and drinks!
