City Meet Info
Good Evening All,
I had hoped to have this info to everyone earlier, but a incident with our cats and nest of baby squirrels caused a delay. Not pretty!
Warm Ups: Warm ups are NOT OPTIONAL. Attached is the schedule and lane assignments for each day's warm ups. However we need all our swimmers in the tent, suits on and ready to go at the following times. Coaches will escort them to warm ups.
Friday (11 & Up swimmers) 7:25 am
Saturday (10 & Under swimmers) 7:30 am
Sunday (Finalists) 8:00 am
Clerk of Course: There is a new lay out for Clerk of Course this year. There will be separate entrances for boy's and girl's Clerk of Course. Hopefully this will easy the flow of swimmers. Our Coaches will take our 10 & Under swimmers through Clerk of Course on the way to warm ups in order to make them familiar with the changes.
Workers: Our team will need to cover Timers for Lane 1 of the Boys Pool (Diving Well side) all three days. Worker positions have been added to the team website. IF THESE POSITIONS ARE NOT FILLED OUR TEAM WILL BE FINED$$$$$$.
Parking: The parking garage at the corner of Andy Holt Ave. and Volunteer Blvd will be open for parking. The $5 parking fee will be charged each time a vehicle enters the garage, if you leave and come back you will be charged again. Parking fees benefit UT not GKAISA. Free parking is available at the Metron/Kingston Building 2309 Kingston Pike, there will NOT be shuttle busses. This lot is approximately 1 mile from the Aquatic Center.
Drop Off/Unloading: You make stop to unload along the right side of Andy Holt Avenue in front of the Student Aquatic Center. Tickets will be written for stopping (blocking traffic) in front of Allen Jones.
Tent Location: For returning families, our tent is in the same spot along the Student Aquatic Center. New families, the tent map is attached - however our tent is mistakenly labeled at CHRC. It's been that way for years.
This email has several attachments: Daily Schedule, Concord Hills entries, Clerk of Course map, Worker Assignments, Psych Sheet and Tent Map. On some of these documents we are still labeled as CHRA instead of CHP. We are working to get this changed.
Lunch: Concessions is very limited at City Meet. In the past we have arranged Jimmy Johns delivery to the tent for Friday and Saturday. I will still set this up and will send separate instructions later. You will want pack snacks and plenty of drinks - it's gonna be hot folks. Keep in mind we are all sharing a tent, please try to make your families foot print as small as possible.
City Meet is a long hot day, but it is also a ton of FUN!
We will pass along any additional information we get it.
