As the season progresses, we will continue to update this FAQ post for our families! We hope this helps answer questions and better guide you on your summer swim journey with us!

Communication:

This is a big one! Our team has brought in nearly 100 swimmers over the last several seasons. This means we will have A LOT of questions from our families! We will post consistently to these sources and ask that you please:

1. Download the app GroupMe at: https://groupme.com/join_group/86536226/aCxXci86. Updates on meets, weather, and issues will be here! Also, if you have basic questions, this is a great place to ask- another parent may know the answer!
2. Download the SwimTopia app! This is the site that everyone registered on!
3. Follow our team Facebook Page for updates, pics of the kiddos, and other information!

Who to contact:

We want to make sure that everyone knows who to reach with specific questions:

If you have questions about your child and their swimming progress, meet results, attendance, or volunteering, please email [email protected].

If you have questions that may be able to be answered by another parent, please utilize the GroupMe chat!

If you have questions about uniforms, membership, or swimming lessons, please contact Miss Lisa Banks at [email protected].

One of our staff will get to you at their earliest convenience!

May Practices:

OFFICIAL practices start Monday, May 16th. The dates for May’s practices are:

Monday, May 16- Thursday, May 19

Monday, May 23- Wednesday, May 25

We kindly ask that swimmers ages 10 and under swim from 5pm-6pm and that swimmers over 10, swim from 6pm-7pm. HOWEVER, we understand that there are many sibling sets and busy families. We also understand that this time of year is VERY busy with other sports and graduations. We ask that you attend as many of these practices as possible before the meets kick off!

June Practices:

June is when our meets start! We will begin offering 3 different practices! We ask that you please select on set time and stick to it throughout the season! Those options are:

8am-9am

5pm-6pm

6pm-7pm

The MAJORITY of meets are on Monday’s, so practices are Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s, and Thursday’s. See the official posted schedule for conflicting dates to plan accordingly!

Also, we understand that THINGS COME UP! Dentist appointments, family activities, etc. If you need to join another practice, please let us know by emailing [email protected]. We want your kiddos in the water as much as possible and as parents, we understand that flexibility is key!

Banquet:

We will post information on the team banquet, which will take place in July! Stay tuned for more details, as we recognize our swimmers for their hard work this season!

Volunteers:

Our league relies on volunteers to ensure that our swim meets run smoothly. As a host team for 3 meets, we will need parents to help with the following positions:

Meet official

Stroke/Turn Judge

Finish Judge

Starter

Bull Pen

Event Tracker

Date Entry

Runner (scores to the data entry)

Awards Table (organizes ribbons)

Timers

Several of these require additional training, however, EVERYONE can time! We will offer one day of training, during the week of May 23rd, and will communicate this with you (pending the date of league training for officials). Please email [email protected] if you are interested in a more permanent role in this during the season! Thank you for your support!

Inclimate Weather:

As we all know, the state of Georgia has a mind of her own when it comes to weather. Please download the app GroupMe app at: https://groupme.com/join_group/86536226/aCxXci86. We will make a final call on all cancellations 30 minutes before the start of practices. Keep in mind that we have access to indoor space for working out and will only cancel if weather is a threat to the safety of traveling for our families!

Illness:

If your child is not feeling well, please do not attend practices. In the case of a swim meet, let us know as soon as possible so that we can make adjustments to events your child may be swimming in, as we may be penalized if we do not notify the other team in a timely manner.

Private Lessons:

At the availability of our coaches, we will offer private lessons throughout the season. Prices are TBD.

Pool Rules and Notes:

Please enter and exit the pool from the main gate at the front and not the fitness center. Also, the hot tub is not available for use to kiddos.
