For everyone: concessions, pool, and team party RSVP

MOUNTAIRE POOL

The pool is a meters pool again, so slightly longer than a yards pool.  Times will be converted.

TEAM PARTY

I apologize, I hit the wrong button to reopen RSVPs and for the first 2 hours after I sent my email yesterday, it wasn't open.  It is now though, so please RSVP by 8 tonight!  Go to mtps.swimtopia.com, click on calendar, RSVP.  

GA TECH - NEW INFO:

WARMUP/ARRIVAL 

We got the latest time, which is great for swimming, bad for parking.  We will all meet outside the aquatic center (750 Ferst Dr, Atlanta) at 7:45 and all go in together, it is really important that you are on time! I will have my light blue, Wavemakers shirt on, look for me outside.  Our swimmers have a section to sit in in the stands, section 101 rows C and D.

VOLUNTEERS-updated

We need 2 timers (in the girls pool) and 1 runner (will get in lots of steps). I would like to split this in 2 shifts, and would love to have girls' parents be the timers as you'll get to see them swim since you would be in that pool, but it can be anyone, we just have to have it covered. Please email me what you can cover (timer or runner and which shift you prefer, 1st or 2nd). 1st shift will be 9am-11:15am, 2nd shift will be 11:15am-meet finish (probably around 1:30)

Timer - serves as backup to the automatic timing system.  2 timers per lane, 1 person uses stopwatch, 1 person pushes the "finish" button to stop the automatic system. 

Runner - posts results in the facility once printed, takes ribbon labels to awards room - lots of steps!

INFO FROM PREVIOUS EMAIL INCLUDED FOR CONVENIENCE:

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

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!
