Hey Hammerheads!

I am forwarding on an email from the other team below. Their Head Coach works with me during the year at Chastain's Year-Round Club Team and is so wonderful! Please read the information below carefully. There will be an another email to follow this one with my own notes for tonight.

Hello everyone!!

1. Parking is going to be a MESS--I honestly suggest getting an Uber, asking your friendly neighbor to drop you and your kids off or preparing to walk a distance from your car. Don't leave valuables in your car, either. This is Buckhead's Crime Prime Spot (a bunch of cars in a nice neighborhood with lots of noise to cover the alarm sounds)!

2. The meet will start promptly at 5:30 pm. We are going to try to run this meet as efficiently as possible so that we can be out of there in a reasonable amount of time. We will hopefully be doing dive-over starts (the kids finishing the race will stay in the water, the referee will start the next race and then those kids in the water from their last race may exit the pool). 

3. Relays: because we have 4 lanes and a ton of swimmers, we are only going to have 2 relays per MOST age groups. If the other team had A, B, C and D relays, then we matched them (in age groups where we had enough swimmers) and made 4 relays as well. In age groups where we were swimming against ourselves in a relay (in our own heat after the first heat), I scratched those relays. I know this is disappointing but prepare your swimmers that I was doing this to save time!

4. Concession stand: BRING SMALL BILLS!! We will have Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches, Jimmy Johns sandwiches and pizza for sale. We will also have tons of drinks and snacks for sale. The concession stand will only function if we have small bills. Kona Ice will also be there!

5. Bullpens: will be on the tennis court again. Please bring yoga mats, tarps, towels, whatever you want to cover the area. As always, we will NOT allow food on the tennis courts. The club was kind enough to let us borrow these courts so we want to leave them in tip top shape! Also bring sunscreen as you know it is not well shaded there!

6. Weather: we had one nice week off from the torrential downpour which means we are due for another storm tomorrow night! I love Mother Nature! Please refrain from texting me frantically 10 minutes before 4:00 about the meet--go ahead and plan to come to the pool. If anything, we will have a delayed start but we are really going to try to NOT have a make-up this Thursday.

You know I will let you know about the meet and any potential delays as soon as I know about it!! OK THAT'S IT FOR NOW!!! Coach Corinne
