Shark Parents,

Today is our first away meet of the season! The meet will begin at 6:00 pm. Athletes can begin check-in at 5:00 pm. Athletes and volunteers MUST BE checked in by 5:15 pm. Warm-ups will begin at 5:30 pm. If you miss our time for warm-ups there will be no warming up. Swimmers need to come in their swim suits and googles. Goggles are required. Remember, you CANNOT wear any suit or cap with another team name or logo.

If for some reason you have RSVP’d yes but your child is sick and cannot attend, please let myself, Sarah Reeves, or Ansley Young know ASAP.

Pool:

The North Forest Pool’s address is:2440 North Forest Dr NE, Marietta, GA 30062

This meet is a little farther away from some of our past away meets. Please allow enough time to be there by check in.

The pool is 4 lanes with blocks on the deep end, but you will need to sit dive on the shallow end on relays.

Seating:

When you enter the pool, we have the right half of the pool designated to us. A bullpen will be set up there for our athletes. Please bring your own folding chairs since space is limited.

Parking:

Please park on only one side of the street so that traffic can get through. Please do not park in people's yards or block driveways.

Things to Bring:

*Sharpie

*Goggles and swim caps

*Lawn Chairs

*Cash or Venmo account for concessions

Please bring a sharpie to write your lane and heats! Not sure how you should do this? Check the attached photo or ask a coach to help.

When you arrive, please see the coaches to check in so they can hand out an event slip. This will give you the assignments to write with the sharpie. You can also use the SwimTopia app ahead of time to see your child’s events and even track their times throughout the season. More details for the app can be found at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swimtopia/id881521818

North Forest has a full concession with pizza, BBQ, drinks, baked goods, and lots of candy! Their concession takes cash or Venmo.
