Dear Piranhas Parents!

If you/ your swimmer is attending the ASA Championship, please read all these notices carefully.

Arrival time: 2:15 PM. All swimmers will enter the building together in one group at 2:30 PM. This is important, as this is a crowded event and locating people who are late or who wind up out of synch with the group is very difficult.

Seating area: Swimmers, coaches, and deck volunteers will be on deck, in bleacher O. We have all rows of Bleacher O. If you did not volunteer to work, you will not be able to be on deck. The league upholds this rule strictly. Use this map to get to know how the arena is laid out. GA Tech Pool.

Warm up: 3:00 - 3:15 pm, Boys Pool, Lanes 5-8

Parking: the W10 lot attached to the CRC will be available. Please remember you MUST prepurchase parking for this lot, you cannot pay at the gate. To purchase parking, please go to https://gatech.parkmobile.io/events to prepay for your parking. Overflow parking and parking for people who did not pre-purchase a spot will be in the W02 lot, this is the student center lot located at 355 Ferst Drive and is a short walk to the pool. This lot will only be in use on Thursday.

Traffic issues: The Presidential Debate will be at CNN on June 27 at 9 pm. As far as Georgia Tech has informed us there will be no direct impact on campus, specifically the Aquatic Center and immediate area.

It is expected that 10th St. will be closed beginning at 2 pm (possibly earlier). Waze or Google Maps will be your best friend bottom line. Use 750 Ferst Drive as your destination, this is the address of the Campus Recreation Center. We suggest several alternatives:

• Use the North Ave. exit to get to the pool and Ferst Drive. Exit at North Ave. and head west toward campus.
• We have been informed that the exit to 14th St. and 17th St. from the connector will remain open, but that traffic will be diverted at 14th St. You can take 14th St. west to Northside Drive or Hemphill Ave to get to the pool.
• You can use I 75 and use the Northside Drive. It is a pretty straight shot from there to Hemphill Ave. which dead ends into Ferst Drive.

The only other thing to look out for is the candidates arriving and gumming up the interstate for a limited time. Again, please plan extra time into your arrival for the afternoon session or departure from the morning session and use your traffic apps to help navigate the best route and get a good estimate on how long it will take to arrive.

Volunteers- We have been assigned to help with the boys and girls bullpen. I would like to ask for four volunteers to do this job. 2 will split the girls’ bullpen and 2 will split the boys’. NOTE: this is not your usual dual-meet bullpen. This is a multi-row, giant bullpen that is run like clockwork. Bullpen workers will help to seat all the swimmers in the whole meet. We have deck passes for deck volunteers and relay setups as well. I have a total of 11 passes for parent workers. Relay set-up volunteers are technically supposed to leave the deck when the relays are done. Please let me know what you can volunteer for.
