    TENTS AND TENT PROTOCOL

    Tents have been placed and are labeled by team. Please refer to the Tent Map on the website to our team’s location (it's on the street between Allan Jones and the SAC). Bring chairs, blankets, snacks, games, etc. for swimmers in the tents.

    NO POP-UP TENTS ARE ALLOWED. Chairs, coolers, etc. may not be placed on the sidewalks. We must KEEP THE SIDEWALKS CLEAR for foot traffic and emergency vehicles.


    CLERK OF COURSE

    Please have your swimmers’ names written on their shoulder and have their events written on their arms or some other visible location to assist the Clerk of Course in seating the swimmers. “Little Kid Day” is always chaotic, and your help with this will allow the Clerk of Course to run more smoothly (and may even help us eliminate some volunteer shifts next year).

    Events will be called three times, and swimmers should be in the Clerk of Course tent by the 3rd call. Once a swimmer has reported to Clerk of Course, they should remain there unless excused by the Head Clerk. Failure to report to Clerk of Course on time will constitute a scratch from the event. If a swimmer misses a heat, then he or she will not be allowed to swim in another heat, absent permission from the Meet Referee.

    Parents should NOT be in the Clerk of Course unless they are designated to work.


    MEET WORKERS

    All Meet Workers should attend the Meet Worker Meeting at 2:20 tomorrow. First shift workers should report to the worker check-in table before the worker meeting and should be at their stations prior to the start of the Meet. Second shift workers should report to their stations by 5:00 pm.

    Shifts cannot be split or shared. When a worker shift ends, the worker should exit the pool deck or other area and return to the stands or to the team tent.


    PARKING PASSES

    Anyone who has not picked up parking passes may pick them up at the ticket booth. Our own Shawna Davis (Ally's mom) is in charge of the Booth and will have ours there with her.

    GKAISA has a very limited number of passes available for purchase each day, first-come first-served. Cost per pass is $20.

    Free parking is available at the Metron Center across Kingston Pike (approximately 1 mile away). Shuttle service will NOT be provided.


    HEAT SHEETS

    Heat sheets will be sold at the ticket booth each day. Cost per Heat Sheet is $10. Cash and credit card are accepted.


    T-SHIRTS

    City Meet t-shirts are boxed by team and available for pick-up at noon tomorrow. Katrina Arbogast has been designated as our team representative. She will (1) sign for our shirts at the Heat Sheet Sales Booth and (2) check our order against the pack list that is in the box to be sure that our shirts are correct for each day. If there are packing errors, Katrina will go to booth to make any necessary exchanges. 

    Any shirts not used for packing errors by 4:00 tomorrow will be available for purchase for $20 each.
