Swimmer Events AND Heat Sheet attached. 

Parking - All parking will be done along the street, sides designated by signs. DO NOT park on non designated sides OR cul-de-sacs, block driveways or hydrants. Emergency vehicles MUST be able to fit down and turn around in the streets.The only people who are to park in the parking lot are those who we have already communicated with. We reserve spots for people coming in with supplies. We also reserve spots for the visiting team coaches. The parking attendant will have a list and be directing cars, so please do not come down the driveway anticipating to stay. If you would like to do a drop off the parking attendant will help direct you.

Let's not give Suwanee PD a reason to come back and patrol the parking situation this week!

Bullpen - Our swimmer bullpen will be near the red bench staging area outside the front gate and will be marked. Please have your swimmers stay near this area. Parents, our team will be setting up in the parking lot as we did last year. We will be keeping the pavilion side of the deck open for you and anyone to walk on and off as you please. This will help traffic flow and the merging of swimmers to the staging area.

VISITORS AREA* - we are placing the visiting team bullpen in the grass area near the baby pool and directing their parents to sit on the far side of the deck.

* You may also sit on the visitor side if space allows. If you have elderly/handicap visitors they are welcome to have a chair set up on the deck for viewing.

GATES - We want to encourage everyone who is NOT a swimmer or volunteer to use the pavilion gate as much as possible. This way we are not bottlenecking the front gate where our swimmers are entering and staging; therefore not causing delays.

MEET THEME -This week is our SENIOR MEET ~~~~MINION THEME! Come in your yellow and denim, fun Minion shirts or senior/grad wear. 

Concessions - Families with the last names beginning with P - Z, please remember to bring your donations. We will have full concessions including freshly grilled burgers and hotdogs with toppings, nachos, mac and cheese, pasta salad, chips, candy, drinks, etc! We also have a new local ice cream truck coming to our parking lot. See the attached flyer. Ice cream and shaved ice options from $2.50-$5.

INCLEMENT WEATHER - be sure you are on REMIND for quick communication.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE - If you are leaving before the meet is complete, please check in with a coach first so we can be sure we will not not miss you in a relay.

>>>We will NOT have Chuck-A-Duck this week due to time constraints.  

SPECIAL NOTE - As meet hosts, this is our team's opportunity to shine! Let's bring our best sportsmanship, patience and attitude (swimmers AND parents). When an opportunity presents itself, give 100% to help out (either side). Please remember safety as you move your cars about the area, and in and out of the neighborhood. Please remember to respect the neighbors of Maple Ridge (and their driveways). And also, BRING BUG SPRAY!

See you poolside!
