Parents,

We are excited for our first meet tomorrow 5/27 AWAY at North Forest! See a few details below. Also note, we will have regular AM practice tomorrow morning. 

Address: 2440 North Forest Dr NE, Marietta, GA 30062

Warmups: Our team will begin warming up promptly at 5:30 pm and the meet starts at 6 pm. Please give yourself time to park and get settled prior to warm-ups. Swimmers need to be ready to jump in the water when their age group is called!

Parking: The pool parking lot is reserved for coordinators, officials, and head coaches. When parking in the neighborhood, please only park on the right side of the street and do not block driveways.

Volunteers: Please check in with the CW volunteer coordinators (Sarah Dockrell or Julia May) upon arrival, even if working the second shift. This helps us know who is there and prevents us from searching for volunteers during the meet! We also appreciate everyone’s flexibility as we sometimes have to shift slots around. If you are in the 2^nd shift, please listen for the switchover.

Concessions: They will have concessions available including pizza, BBQ sandwiches, baked potatoes, and other treats. They accept cash and Venmo.

Theme: Our theme this week is BLUE out. Parents, friends, and swimmers feel free to come dressed in theme!

Heat Sheets: Events will be posted in Swimtopia and we will share a Heat Sheet pdf when it is available. Remember to mark up your swimmers before arrival! Instructions can be found here.

Events: Please help us ensure your swimmers are lined up in their lane 3 events prior to their event. This helps the coaches not have to chase as much!

Weather: Make sure you have the Swimtopia app downloaded and notifications turned on. If we hear thunder we have to clear the pool deck completely and will communicate delays and updates via phones. We need to make it through event 46, so that is our goal! If it is only raining, and we can still see the bottom of the pool, practices and meets will always be on as scheduled!

Hats: If you pre-ordered a Tidal Waves hat they are in! We will have them available for pickup starting tomorrow morning at practices, along with the Venmo handle for payment.

Practice Times and Stroke Clinic: The Chattahoochee Gold Stroke Clinic will take place this Thursday 5/28, for our 7-10 year old swimmers and practice times will shift slightly for all ages. There will be NO 6 and under AM practice on Thursday. PM practices for all age groups will follow the normal schedule. Practice times will be as follows:

• 9:00-9:45am - 7/8 year olds Chattahoochee Gold Stroke Clinic
• 9:45-10:30am - 9/10 year olds Chattahoochee Gold Stroke Clinic
