Things WAHOOS need to know:

- 10 and younger swimmers need to have name and age written on their left shoulder (so that VOLUNTEERS can read it).

- All swimmers should have event numbers written on their arm or leg (so that SWIMMER can read it).

- Bring sunscreen, water/drinks, snacks, towel/cap/goggles/suit, chairs or blankets to sit on between events. You can bring cards or things to do that are ok to get wet. Please leave home any active toys like water guns, balls, frisbees, etc.

- We plan to have 4 large tents set up for all our Wahoos to sit under. New this year: A map is attached and we will have tents set up where the navy letter W is (near the top of the map). We really need your swimmers hanging out in the shade and under our tents between events so that we can easily find them. Feel free to set up additional tents for a little extra space on the grass at the top left of this picture. NO TENTS allowed on the pool deck inside the fence. Also, please don't set up in any other team's zone as you will be asked to move (and if they know you're a Wahoo, I'll hear about it!).

- As always, 10 and younger swimmers should come to the bull pen when called. We will have numbers hanging by our Wahoo bull pen for who should be in the bull pen + we have the bull horn to call out. Bull pen will likely be on the sidewalk between the tree and our navy W tent area. Swimmers should come to the bull pen without shoes, parents, food, and they should have goggles with them! Coaches, volunteers, and bull pen workers will get your swimmer to their races and to the correct lanes, and we will have a coach waiting with each individual swimmer. NO PARENTS are allowed in the bull pen area or the starting area (unless you're volunteering)!

- For 11 and older swimmers, we will have no bull pen or numbers showing the events. I recommend that swimmers head to their lane about 1 event before each race - there are lots of heats for each race. For example, if I'm in event #43, I would go to the starting area when event #42 starts. We will have a coach stationed in the starting area to help with any questions regarding heat/lane/order/technique/etc. ONLY BE IN THE STARTING AREA IF YOU'RE ABOUT TO RACE because it is crowded enough without your friends or parents standing around you!

-We are counting on your swimmer to be at the meet if you signed them up. If an emergency happens and you cannot make it to the meet, please TEXT Coach Susan ASAP at 770-265-2925 (even if it's during the night). The earlier we know, the less stressful it is to make any changes on relays.

Things KEDRON wants you to know:

Parking is available for cars at Kedron, the skating rink, and at Kedron Elementary. DO NOT park cars in the fire lanes or on the grass - they will tow! Golf carts should park on the grass or 2 carts to a spot.

Feel free to drive through and quickly drop off all your gear and swimmers, as it can be a long walk from parking to where we sit.  

Swimmers will not be able to use the small pool and will need to stay away from the edges of the large pool when not swimming.

Please keep all doorways and entrances clear - no stopping/standing/sitting there for obvious reasons.

Families may not set up inside the building (where it's air conditioned!). Swimmers and families should only come in the building to use the restrooms. Swimmers should only use the restrooms closest to the pool since the rest of the facility is in use.

New this year: Kedron has asked us to keep the deck as free as possible of chairs. Coaches, grandparents, and folks that absolutely need them can set up chairs, but for the most part they would like people to move off and on the deck to watch the races. (in my opinion, sitting on the deck without shade is h-o-t anyways!)

Only coaches, swimmers (in that event), and volunteers are allowed in the starting/finishing area.

They will run concessions, but I don't know what they're serving. Last year it was cash only, but I don't know about this year.

Parents can download the TIME DROPS LIVE! on the app to follow along with the meet in real time. These times are not official. The pin will be posted the day of the meet. I have heard that it's beneficial to pay for the app as they have useful features during this meet like when your swimmer is about to race, but I don't know anything more than that.

Please ask if you have any questions. 

Go Wahoos!!!!

Coach Susan
