Meet 5 information! I can’t believe we are at the last meet already!

Location/Opponent:

This one is an away meet at Mayfair. Their pool is located at: 2870 Arborwoods Drive Alpharetta, GA 30022. They are a 5 lane pool. This makes for less scoring opportunities and generally a longer meet.

Parking:

Keep in mind that parking is always at a premium at swim meets (everywhere). Just like we do, Mayfair asks that when parking on the street, you park on only one side of the street and obey any no parking signs that are placed. Please avoid blocking driveways as well.

Bullpens:

Our bullpens will be located on the basketball courts. Bullpens not on the pool deck are always an added challenge. Younger swimmers, please be sure you know your bullpen parent and stay or let them know where you are. They do, however, run a ready bench situation. For those who have attended either a fall season meet or the ASA championship meet at Georgia Tech, you will be very familiar with this set up. Essentially around 7 events ahead (for individual events), they will have a space to place kids according to their heat event and lane where the move efficiently from there to the blocks.

Marking Swimmers:

We will ask again that you mark the right shoulder blade of your swimmers 10 and under (maybe even older). This helped tremendously at the blocks.

Concessions:

They will have buttered noodles, hamburgers/cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, candy & drinks. For payment, they accept cash and Venmo. They will also have King of Pops available for $5 a popsicle

Sign up if you want to select your job. Be sure to check-in at the swim meet for your volunteer shift with Melissa.
