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.
PARKING AT PRINCETON SQUARE
Just like at Mark Trail, we need to park on one side of the road once the parking lot fills up. Please park on the side of the road that the pool is on. For those who don't know where the pool is, it is on Princeton Trace and is on the right side (not sure of the address)...keep driving and you'll see it!
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!

ROAD CLOSURE
We know that Brandon Mill will be closed in a location from 5/31-6/4. We have been unable to get the city to give us the location of where it will be closed. Please allow for extra time to get to practices, and if anyone knows where it will be closed, please let me know and I'll send it out to the team.
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 11, 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 3 if you are going to attend the meet.
