NOTES FROM GAINESBOROUGH
The parent rep from Gainesborough sent some notes for me to pass on. Please read:
Our address is 1961 Gainsborough Drive, Chamblee, 30341. Gainsborough Drive is just inside the perimeter off of Chamblee-Dunwoody Road.
Regarding Gainsborough Club and our facility, we are small and without a lot of pool deck area. Your bullpen will be along the far side of the pool. You will also have access to the grassy area just outside the pool for overflow. There is one canopied gazebo next to the pool, but we suggest bringing pop-up shade canopies and chairs to set up in the grassy area.
A word of caution:
Please drive slowly through our neighborhood. We have a couple of home owners (non-club members) who complain to the Chamblee Police Department about “speeders” along Gainsborough’s streets during swim meets. Chamblee Police will be patrolling the area in response to those complaints and I’d hate for anyone to receive an unwanted souvenir.
Parking:
Our parking lot will be reserved for your team’s use. When it fills, please park along Gainsborough Drive, IN THE GRASS, perpendicular to the street. Street access for emergency vehicles must be maintained. We will have spotters assisting the perpendicular street parking.
AFTER THE MEET GET TOGETHER
After the meets this season we will be going to CT Taqueria (team sponsor) at 6631 Roswell Road NE. Everyone is invited, though it of course isn’t required to attend. Each family purchases their own food/drinks.
CLINICS STARTING
After morning practice on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, we have optional clinics for any swimmers to work on starts, strokes, etc. It is $5 per swimmer and limited to 5 swimmers per clinic. There will be a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board at Mark Trail at the beginning of each week with exactly what the clinics will be each day. After the clinic, please give the $5 to the coach who taught the clinic. We will begin with clinics this Wednesday.
MORNING VS EVENING PRACTICES
A quick note about practices, morning practices are the ones to come to if at all possible. We have more coaches there, more lanes available, starting blocks/kick boards/flags. If you cannot attend morning practices, please come in the evening, but if you can, please come in the morning. Thanks!

EMAILING COACH JULIE
I will always respond to you, even if it's just to say "thanks", so if you send me an email and don't get a response, please resend! Just want to make sure we don’t have an email go “missing”. Thanks!
KIDS FOR KIDS MEET
This is a meet where all proceeds benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. It is completely optional to attend. It is $30 per swimmer (cash or check made out to MTPS Wavemakers), and each swimmer gets a t-shirt. The meet is at Marist and is Saturday, June 10, at 9AM. It's a great opportunity to swim in a great pool and to attend a big meet. I have attached the entry form that you will fill out and turn into me by Friday, June 2, if you are going to attend the meet. Here is the list of people who pre-paid with registration…but I messed up and put the second swimmer as $20 instead of $30, so some of you owe $10…sorry!! If your name is on this list, please still fill out the form so I know what you want to swim.
Evan and Lauren Bell (owe $10)
Cox- which swimmer is it? (owe $10)
Marin Londe
Jackson and Nico Muraro (owe $10)
Kaitlyn and Christopher Wood (owe $10)
Kate Zaparaniuk
NOT ENTERED THIS TUESDAY, 5/30
This is the list of those not entered in the meet. While the deadline was last week to let me know, it is much easier if I find out today that you forgot to tell me you would be missing than if I find out the day of the meet (or not at all). If there is an error with this list, please let me know ASAP.
