Teams,

We are just about there, the start of the 2022 swim season and a new technological era with the leaguewide use of Swimtopia and Meet Maestro. I am thrilled to report we have arrived at our first meet and I wanted to take time to wish everyone the best of luck with the 2022 season. Thank you so much for making this work for your swimmers, your families and the swimming community as a whole. Below is your schedule of officials for Week 1 meets. Please be sure to check with your scheduled official before your meet to confirm their participation as well as communicate any details about your meet. Each week your ref schedule will arrive a few days prior to your meet. Please remember each team splits the $100 cost of the official's pay and try to save a parking space for your ref to allow them to get on deck quickly.

A couple of quick reminders for everyone. First and foremost, HAVE FUN, I am certain the kids will. If we keep that as a priority, then everything will work great. Play nice and play fair. A full recap of Swimtopia’s Meet Maestro tutorials can be found at Swimtopia Tutorials and Training Videos. Several teams have asked about how to transfer all of their team time history from Team Manager into Swimtopia. For a full rundown on the steps be sure to visit Transferring Roster and Result History from Team Manager to Swimtopia

If you have not done so already make one last check of your team page at ASA Team Info Pages to ensure all of your info is correct. It should include the address of your pool, water depth specifications, contact info (e mail and phone numbers) for your team reps, assistants as well your coaching staff. This info is crucial for your opponents to have to stay in contact about your meets.

A couple of teams have not picked up their ribbons yet, they are waiting for you to get them at Marist this Sarurday, May 28 between 2:30 pm and 5 pm. The pool is located at the back of campus near the football field. Marist is located at 3790 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., Atlanta, GA 30319. Please be sure to get them before your first meet. If your team has not had a coach participate in the coaches’ rules meeting last Sunday or earlier in April, you must have at least one participate this Sunday's in person meeting Marist at 3 pm.

Finally, don't forget that the home team has to call or e mail in your team scores when the meet is done. As always, if there is anything I can do to help you this summer please don't hesitate to call or e mail. Again, I wish everyone the best of luck this season.

Take care and best of luck this summer.

Thanks,

Franke Marsden
