Good Evening Swim Families,

We have spoken with Brookstone 3 and received a little more information to pass along to you. Please make sure you read everything as well as the "What to Expect at a Swim Meet" document: https://leescrossing.swimtopia.com/swim-meet-101

• We are bringing back themes for our Meets this year. This Thursday’s Meet theme is PATRIOTIC! Wear as much red, white and blue as you can for the group picture.
• The Pool address is 6124 Braidwood Lane, Acworth, Ga 30101
• They have Parking Attendants that will direct you to the grassy area by the pool to park. Please see the parking map we emailed.
• We will set up on the right side of the pool when you walk in. If you are bringing a tent, please set it up by the fence line.
• Their Concessions Stand will accept Venmo and cash. They offer bbq chicken sandwiches, baked potatoes, bbq baked potatoes, caesar salad, chicken caesar salad, hot dogs, snacks and the Kona Ice Truck will be there.
• We still need 3 volunteers for the meet on Thursday. It was full previously, but we have updated it. If you are able to assist, please go to the following link and click Job Sign Up: https://leescrossing.swimtopia.com/swim_meets
• Warm ups begin at 5:30pm. Please arrive early so you can get a parking spot and get set up. We recommend you bring chairs, bug spray and money for concessions. The meet will start at 6pm.
• Please remind your swimmer that we need to be respectful to the neighborhood and their facility. If your swimmer causes damage you will be responsible and no one wants that. We want your swimmers to have fun, but they should find something to do like a game, cards, etc between events so they don't wear themselves out.
• On Thursday morning, events will be listed in the Swimtopia app for each swimmer. The swimmers will also be practicing that morning what they are swimming in the meets. Please check the app throughout the day as we may have to make last minute changes due to sickness and emergencies. If you need help understanding any of it or how to write events on your child's arm, let us know.
• If there is bad weather (rain so hard that you can't see the bottom of the pool, lightning or thunder), the meet will be delayed. Just like practice it is a 30 minute delay for thunder and lightning. We have to clear the pool deck in the event of lightning and thunder. In this case, families will need to wait in their cars. We will update via Remind when it is clear to come back. We do ask that you do not leave the meet. Since most swimmers are in relays, it impacts everyone in your relay if you leave. We do our best to get the meet in so that we don't have to reschedule.

We emailed the updated list of swimmer's out. If your swimmer is unable to attend the meet on Thursday, please let us know asap as the coaches are working on the line ups.

If you have an emergency and need to cancel being at the meet last minute, please text us- Sarah 770-851-0375 or Emily 562-212-6127

Looking ahead, just a reminder that we have the swim team photos on Friday at 9am. Please bring your team t-shirt. On Saturday, we have our Turns & Dives Clinic from 9-10am. It is for ages 7 & up and is $5 cash preferred. You don't have to sign up ahead, but it helps us to prepare. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/y3t8Gbhwg4NZ2qMt7

Go Cyclones!
