Our first fall league meet is coming up this Saturday at 9:00 am at Hampton Hall South. Below are a couple of reminders for the meet along a few more details from Hampton Hall regarding parking, team areas, concessions, etc…Teams participating this week will be Briarmoor Manor, Decatur, Edenwilde, Hampton Hall/Byrnwyck, Gainsborough, Twin Lakes and Woodfield. Pool details are at https://asa.swimtopia.com/hampton-hall-waves it is a 5 lane, 25 meter pool. The water depth will require swimmers 2 and 4 to start from in the water for the 100 yard relays, all other starts will be from the blocks (timers will move to the other end for the 25 yard races.

Location:

The pool is located at 1218 Warrenhall Lane, Brookhaven, GA 30319.

Warm-up:

We will be warming up in the last group so 8:35-8:55 in lanes 2-3.

Arrival:

Please arrive by 8:20am for an 8:35 warm up. That gives us 15 minutes to check that we have everyone and get situated for warm up. Please be sure to check in with coach Anna or I when you get to the pool so we can keep up. It’s a smaller group, but they’re asking we check in all swimmers in case we have any on deck changes.

Volunteers:

Some weeks we will be asked to fill a slot or two, but this week we don’t have a meet assignment. That being said, I would like to have a parent volunteer or two to help with the kids at the “bullpen” space and I will take the role at the Ready Area for this first meet.

From Greg at Hampton Hall:

We look forward to hosting y'all at the HamptonHall pool Saturday 8/17. The pool is located at 1218 Warrenhall Lane, Brookhaven, GA 30319. The pool is a 5-lane meter pool.

We will have no parking signs on one side of the street--thank you for observing these. Please do not block any of the neighbor's driveways and please observe the speed limit. We have a small parking lot--it is much easier for folks to drop off swimmers at the street than to try to reverse in the lot.

Concessions

We will have Chick-fil-a Chicken Biscuits and Dunkin' Donuts as part of our Concession stand. Please encourage your members to bring small bills for the concession stand (and we also accept Venmo). We heard everyone loud and clear about missing Dunkin' Donuts coffee so we will have that at the meet. =)

We'll be ready to open the pool for warmups at 8 am with a 9 am first race.

Team Bullpens

Bullpens will be located on the pool deck-- there are many tables with umbrellas. We will claim a few tables when we get there. Since we have such few swimmers, we won’t be dividing by age group or taking our signs, but we will figure it out quickly.

Deck Flow

Each team is responsible for getting their own swimmers to their lanes for relays and individual events--approach the blocks by walking by the diving board. We will have a ready area (the Red tent ready area) so we can get kids organized before they get to the blocks for individual events. It's a team effort to get all the kids to their events. We work as a team to get everyone in the correct lanes and then pull them to the bullpen chairs behind the blocks. All swimmers should exit the deck behind the starter to go back to their bullpen.
