Happy Friday Manta Rays!  

I hope you all are having a great day!  

For the swimmers and parents attending the first swim meet tomorrow; attached is the Meet-Heat Sheet.  In SwimTopia, under the 'Meets & Events' tab you will see a Swim Meet 101; that explains how to read the attached Heat sheet; gives examples and guides you on the 'grid' that most swimmers use to keep track. 

Few other notes about tomorrow's meet.  ELY only has 4 lanes; it is also a NO DIVING pool.  For the past two nights we have reviewed how to start in the water with all of the Manta Rays.  :)

There will be a Concession Stand ran by the Host team, located in the gym.  The Gym is across from the pool; I have been told it is chilly in there.   Please bring folding chairs; blankets and any additional items you and your family needs to be comfy in-between events.  

Because the pool is smaller; there will not be any parents or spectators on the pool deck unless they are volunteering as timers, bullpen or other that may need access to and from areas.  There is a viewing area, I am told.

Schedule below--Please plan your travel time according- https://ymcaatlanta.org/locations/east-lake-family...

Swimmer Check-in from 2:20-3pm

All volunteers 3:30pm meeting on pool deck (Thank you Volunteers!)

Manta Ray Warm-up from 3:20-3:50pm (this only gives us 10 mins before the meet starts) Staging/ Bullpen jobs please be mindful; coaches are releasing the first age groups early from warm-up to be ready for event #1 @ 4pm. 

I hope you all have a great night, eat healthy and get plenty of sleep.
