Hi, everyone! Just a few details regarding Divisionals on Friday. Please contact Caroline, Elizabeth, Suzanne, Chuck or Jennifer with any questions!
1) Practice Thursday and Friday is for Divisional swimmers only. Practice will be on Thursday morning (usual), and everyone will be able to practice Thursday afternoon from 4-5 pm. Swimmers will have time to change before the End-of-Season Banquet that starts at 5:30pm.
2) Schedule for Friday: Divisional swimmers can come to the BWH Pool between 9-11 am to warm up and get marked up for Divisionals (we expect to have the heat sheets by then). Swimmers can then go home and eat lunch and relax. Please report to the BWH check in table no later than 2 pm at Georgia Tech. The BWH check in table will be at the end of the entrance hall on the left by the back stairwell.
When your swimmer checks in, please let Caroline Normark and Elizabeth Yates know if your swimmer will or will not be at Championships. Any scratches for Championships are due on Friday, or BWH will be fined for each scratch.
3) Championship Calls: We expect to notify parents by 10 pm on Friday night if their swimmers will be returning for Championship. We will call you all directly, send a Remind text, and post an e-mail through SwimTopia as well. Please be on the lookout for our calls!
4) Divisional Volunteers have already been arranged. Only volunteer parents with wristbands will be allowed on the pool deck. Parents may sit in the stands. Our swimmers will be on the pool deck.
5) The Boys Pool is located on the scoreboard side of the arena. The Girls Pool is the middle pool.
6) Parking: ASA has sent us the following information regarding parking. Please read.

June 27, 2018Teams,You learn something new every day. I learned today, that there is a finite number of pre-sale parking spots at Georgia Tech for events. I have heard from several teams that when they try to pre-buy parking that they are getting a message saying that parking is SOLD OUT for their particular session. Georgia Tech's parking department is working to add some inventory to the system, however, with school in session it is not an infinite supply of spaces. However, don't panic, no need to get Uber, there is parking available for all to come, it just will be at the day of purchase rate of $15 per car. I apologize for any confusion and extra work this may have caused for you, as I am certain you are getting calls and e mails about his. However, like I said, you learn something new every day. A general reminder about parking and the process is listed below just as an FYI.Just a reminder that parking at Georgia Tech is unfortunately not free. This includes coaches as well unfortunately, they will not receive a parking pass. You can save a little money if you prepay for your parking and get your pass in advance, please visit the following link https://gatech.clickandpark.com/ . Parking is $12 per day for the event. Due to construction around campus and the recent removal of one lane side of Tech Parkway, we will likely be unable to provide the usual 1 parking pass per team, we have a very limited number of parking passes for our meet staff and officials compared to years past and unfortunately will not have leftovers for the teams.
Please only buy the day you need and make sure you select the correct day (Day 1 is Wednesday, Day 2 is Thursday, Day 3 is Friday, Day 4 is Saturday), no one will need an All Day pass. The cost for the advance passes is $12. If you do not prepay for parking you will need cash to park, the cost is $15 at the gate. Please be sure to share this info with your teams. A map to the area around the Aquatic Center can be found at :https://pts.gatech.edu/subsite1/Documents/Parking_map_14-rv1.jpg There will also be signs around the venue that will point you in the direction of the lots for the meet.
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. |
