STING families,

The next swim meet of the season is this Saturday, January 27, at our Alpharetta YMCA. We will be hosting swimmers and families from the J.M.Tull - Gwinnett YMCA in Lawrenceville.

Here are the details for the meet:

• The meet starts at 4:00pm and will last approximately 3 hours.

• Swimmers need to arrive by 2:30pm. When your swimmer arrives, he/she needs to check in with the volunteer parent from our team to let her know they are there. Volunteers also need to check-in when they arrive. The check in table is located in the small room across from the Aquatics office.

• Warm-up for our team is 2:45-3:15pm in the pool.

• Swimmers should wear a racing bathing suit and bring multiple towels, goggles, swim cap, drinks, snacks, games, cards, books (entertainment while waiting for events).

• Swimmers will sit together as a team in the designated bullpen area in the gym. Parent volunteers will line the swimmers up for each race. It is important your child sits with the team so he/she will not miss being called for the race. Bullpen parents will not be tracking down swimmers who are not sitting with the team.
• Parents may sit in the gym or in the viewing area at the windows.
  • Parents may enter the pool deck to watch their swimmer race. Please enter/exit through the door by the Family Locker Room and sauna.

oPlease be respectful of the gym and viewing area(s) and clean up any trash.

• There are still volunteer opportunities for parents to assist with the meet. Please check Swimtopia and sign up if you can help on Saturday. We still need 2 more parents to assist with the bullpen. Throughout the season, each family is requested to volunteer for 2 meets.

• There will be concessions. Cash only – please bring small bills.

• Your swimmer's events are available in Swimtopia.

• Please mark your swimmer's Event/Heat/Lane and put his/her name on their back before arriving.

• Please put your swimmer's name on all his/her gear - swimsuit, team t-shirt, goggles, swim cap, towel, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Coach Carlos.

Go STING!
