Parking: The parking lot near the pool and tennis courts fill up quickly, so if you are parking on the subdivision streets, please kindly respect the No Parking Signs and do not block driveways. Illegally parked cars may be towed.

Volunteers: If you are scheduled to volunteer, please check in with Teri Coons in the Volunteer Tent located between the Concessions Pavilion and the slide. If you are trying to fulfill your volunteer requirements but are having a hard time finding open jobs, please text Teri Coons at 770-298-6707.

Theme: NEON

What to Bring: Chairs for green space spectator seating, Black Sharpie, extra pair of goggles, swim cap, two towels, sweatshirt, spf, bug spray. Cash, Venmo or Square for concessions. If you have younger swimmers, toys or games to entertain them in the bullpen while they wait for their event is a smart idea.

What NOT to Bring: NO ALCOHOL. Do NOT bring it. If alcohol is found, we can be fined and the meet forfeited.

Bullpen: There is a bullpen for 5–6-year-olds and one for 7–8-year-olds. These are tents on the pool deck where the younger swimmers stay for the duration of the swim meet so they can be easily located in time for their events. We have adult volunteers supervising the bullpens. When the 5–8-year-old swimmers arrive at the pool, after checking in with the coaches, they should immediately go to the bullpen area, where a volunteer bullpen parent will supervise the swimmer. There is no Bullpen for 9-year-olds and up. It will be the swimmers’/parents’ responsibility to make sure your swimmer is lined up and on time for their events. Bullpen volunteers, please get the kids lined up behind the blocks 5-7 events prior to their event. When 5-6 and 7-8 year olds finish races, we would appreciate parents’ help breaking down the tents.

Weather: We swim when it is cold. We swim when it rains. If you have declared YES to swim, you are expected to SHOW UP!!!! I will be sending alerts via SwimTopia if there are any delays or cancelations on meet day. If there is a thunderstorm delay, please do not leave the meet location. If the meet is cancelled, you will receive an alert.

Concessions: We are serving: hamburgers, hotdogs, pulled pork sandwiches, pizza, chips, pickles, clementines, applesauce, candy, ice cream sandwiches, freeze pop, sodas, caprisun, water. Payment options are cash, apple pay and credit card. Our credit card machine is tap only. If you are using cash, please plan ahead and bring smaller bills. Please consider visiting the concessions stand to financially support our team!

Merch: We will be selling Dolpins merchandise at the concessions stand! We have a few 2026 tshirts available, as well as “vintage” tshirts from previous years and silicone or latex swim caps. Tshirts $15. Silicone swim caps $7. Latex swim caps $7.

Which Events: When you arrive at the pool, each swimmer must check in with one of our coaches and get a slip of paper which will identify the events they will swim for this meet. If you have downloaded the SwimTopia App, your swimmer’s meet entries will also be available for you to view on the day of the event. For those parents and swimmers who prefer to use the App, please be mindful that you still need to check in with our coaches when you arrive. This is a very important part of our check-in process. Please note that our Head Coach, Assistant Coaches, and Head Coordinators meet each week before the swim meet and consider many factors before deciding which events are best suited for your swimmer. Please know that we spend a great deal of time on individual meet entries, and we ask you to trust the Coaches’ expertise in this area.

PLEASE check in with coaches upon arrival to avoid a “looking for you” text.

Ribbons: Can be picked up during Tuesday Fun Day or during any practice on the pool deck.

Lastly:
- Please clean up after yourselves and your children before leaving. When everyone chips in, this helps the end of the night clean up go much quicker.
- Please Declare if you Will or Will Not swim for EVERY swim meet. We are totally fine if you chose No, but we need to know every week by the deadline.
- There are a few items in the coach closet that were left during Fun Day. If they are not picked up by Monday, we will move them all to the regular pool Lost & Found.
