Meet Four Theme - Welcome to the Jungle!

We can hardly wait to see your favorite jungle animals. How many monkeys do you think we will see? What other animals will visit us at the meet? Maybe a tiger, or a big ole elephant will be swimming with us. Let’s see how many different animals we can spot during the meet.

We will be swimming at Rivermist. The address listed with GCSL is: 1658 Rivermist Drive Lilburn. Our warmup begins at 5:25. Please have your swimmers marked up and ready to swim by 5:15.

Here is some very important information from Rivermist:

Parking:

• Swimmer families should park in the lot surrounding the tennis courts and pool area first, then fill the grass lot entering off of Stonelake Trail.
• Street parking is also available - please obey signage and make sure to park on only 1 side of the street.

Visitor Seating:

• General visitor seating will be on the lake side of the pool.
• Spectators should bring chairs.

Concessions:

• Our concessions stand will offer dinner items like pizza, hot dogs, chick-fil-a sandwiches, baked potatoes, and pot stickers as well as sides, snacks and drinks.
• Cash and credit cards are accepted.
• Our deck can accommodate small personal coolers, but please ask your team to not bring large coolers. No glass or alcohol.

Entries are attached to this email, and heat sheets will be sent out soon. Heat sheets will also be available on the app.

It is very important that all swimmers stay in the team area unless they are staging for a race. They will be called in the team area only. If you have young swimmers, please plan to stay with them in the team area.

Please check the work schedule attached to this email. We do not load our schedule into Swimtopia. Information you may see on your app is incorrect. The information we send out is the official schedule. All meet workers please check in upon arrival.

The weather prediction for Thursday is a little iffy. Please make sure you are subscribed for team text messages! To do so, simply text @schsharks to 81010. If there is a weather related delay during the meet, that is the quickest way we can communicate with you. In the event of a weather delay, you will be asked to go to your car to wait it out. Please DO NOT leave the meet. We will make every effort to complete the meet, and have a specific protocol to follow from the league. We will keep you informed via Remind.

Fun practice will be on Saturday at 1:30. We will give out ribbons, eat donuts, and have lots of fun with teammates and coaches. We hope you will all join us for this popular practice.

If you have a senior this year and would like to have them participate in the Senior Swim, please email us TODAY to reserve a lane.

Shhh…It’s time for our secret collection! If you would like to contribute toward coach gifts as a special thank you for a great season, please give those contributions to a board member at a meet or practice.

You can expect another email this week explaining the County Meet and how to prepare for the fast turn around of information required for that event. It’s a very fun weekend of exciting swimming. We have a lot of swimmers already qualified to go! More information will be coming soon.

Calling all Parents…if you would like to participate in a fun relay at our final meet next week, please email us to let us know. This fun tradition continues on Shark Night! Who will win? The coaches or the parents?

If you have questions, please see a parent board member on the pool deck, or feel free to email us. We are here to help you!

See you at the pool,
