What: Vinings Estates vs. Saddlebrook. AT SADDLEBROOK

When: Monday, June 15

Where: 2843 Saddlebrook Way, Marietta GA 30064

Time: 5pm arrival! 5:30pm warmups. 6pm meet begins.

Parking: Any of the cul-de-sacs may be used for parking (in outbound lanes only please) Because the neighborhood is so hilly, they will have Saddlebrook "Uber" drivers running shuttles, esp. from the further out sections of the neighborhood. Please be sure not to block any driveways or stop signs. (I suggest bringing a flashlight)

Drop Off: Feel free to drop off swimmers, chairs, etc. at the clubhouse turnaround. Pull into the circle drive so the kids don't have to cross or block traffic.

Meet arrival and logistics: We will be on the visitors side, opposite the main gate and pavilion. We have access to the entire area both in front of (on concrete) and behind the gate. Sometimes, some of our parents set up camp right near the drop off zone, which is allowed. Please see attached diagram. Bathrooms are located inside the clubhouse next to concessions.

Volunteers: If you are scheduled to volunteer, we will have a round table set up at the main pool entrance. Please check in with Teri Coons and look for her volunteer email.

Theme: Beach Party!!

 What to Bring: Chairs, umbrellas, rain jackets, Black Sharpie, extra pair of goggles (they do break and get lost), swim cap if you use one, 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: NOTE: DEPENDING ON WEATHER, THE BULLPEN MAY BE MOVED FROM THE GRASSY AREA TO THE FAR RIGHT CORNER ON THE CONCRETE. PLEASE CHECK WITH VOLUNTEERS UPON ARRIVAL FOR FINAL DECISION ON BULLPEN LOCATION. THE DECISION WILL BE MADE BASED ON WEATHER. There is a bullpen for 5–6-year-olds and one for 7–8-year-olds. 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. Bullpen volunteers need to bring younger kids to the their lanes FIVE TO TEN EVENTS in advance. 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. When 5-6 and 7-8 year olds finish races, we would appreciate parents’ help breaking down the tents and putting them in one of our coordinator’s cars.

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.
