Hello everyone,

    Here are some quick reminders for the Memorial Day and the upcoming meet.  And for those families who are new please don't hesitate to ask questions.  There are a lot of moving parts at a swim meet and it can get overwhelming.  We are here to help and direct as best as possible.

• There is NO practice tomorrow (Memorial Day).  Please enjoy your day off, have fun, be safe, and spend some time remembering the men and women who have sacrificed everything to give us the freedoms that we have (and many times take for granted).
• The swim meet is held at the Embry Hills pool (3131 Alton Rd, Atlanta, Georgia 30341) NOT the Westhampton pool (where we practice).  The Embry Hills pool is roughly 15 minutes from the Westhampton pool so please plan accordingly.
• The meet starts at 6pm, but our warm-ups are at 5:15.  Please try to get there between 5:00-5:15.  Swim team is not like other sports where you can just show up 5 minutes before the game starts. The children have to get marked before we start and that takes time.
• For those new to summer swim meets, the meets typically last from about 6-9pm....that's right three hours!  There is seating available but you may want to bring your own chairs and perhaps an umbrella.  It is going to be hot until the sun starts to go down.  
• There is NO street parking.  There is a church across the street from the pool that you can park at.  Please try and park at the church to allow our visitors to park in the parking lot. 
• There will be a concession stand with hamburgers, hotdogs, bbg, pasta salad, and other goodies.  Remember to clean up after yourselves and family.  With ~150 kids plus adults it can get messy pretty quickly.
• Remember unless you opted out of volunteering you need to sign up for a volunteer spot.  There are plenty of options to choose from and none are that difficult.  The meets run so much smoother when we have many volunteers.
• Regarding the T-shirts, I'm super excited about the design (it's a little different) and they are going to be dri-fit shirts!  However, unfortunately they will not be ready by our meet Tuesday.  We should have them next week though before meet #2...fingers crossed.
• Finally thanks to everyone who signed up on the website.  It makes creating the line up SO much easier. 

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me or one of the assistant coaches.  And Thanks again for what y'all do.  We could not have a summer league without you guys.
