Teams,

Last call for ribbons and a coaches meeting. We are closing in on the 2025 swim season. A couple of quick reminders about our upcoming coaches' rules clinics and ribbon pickup. If you have not yet picked up your team's ribbons you have a couple of options. You can pick them up in person at Marist on Sunday May 25 during the coaches rules clinics, or you can have them delivered for a $50 fee. Details on how to indicate how you will get your ribbons is listed below. Also, if your coaches did not participate in the April rules clinic they MUST take part in one of the two rules clinics remaining. One of those is this Sunday, May 25 at 3 pm at the Marist School. The meeting will have an in person and Zoom option. Details are listed below. The in person meetings will be in the Marist Centennial Center Gymnasium (not the Aquatic Center).

Ribbon Pickup

Teams will two options remaining for ribbon collection. Teams can pick them up at this week's coaches meetings, or we can deliver them to you (for a fee). Please refer to the following form to select the option that best fits the needs of your team Ribbon Pickup Form .

Your ribbons will be ready for pickup beginning at 2:30 PM Sunday, May 25 at the Marist School Aquatic Center. I will be at the pool until at least 4:00 pm. Marist has asked that we not come onto campus until then, due to school being in session. They have been gracious enough to provide us a central location for teams to swing by, please show your gratitude by following these instructions. Please do not try to come to Marist outside of the scheduled pickup times to collect your ribbons.

You may come by the upstairs lobby of the pool during that time to pick up your ribbons. Marist is located at 3790 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., the pool is at the back of campus. Please make sure to take the correct team box, there is a label sheet in the top of each box that lists the team name, as well as all of the contents of the box. Please check your box to make sure what is listed on your team's box is what is in the box. If your team received significantly fewer or more ribbons that what is listed on your box, e mail me and I will make arrangements to fix any goof ups on my part.

Coaches’ Meeting/Rules Clinic

Please remember, coaches are required to attend one of the two mandatory coaches’ meetings on either Sunday, May 18 or May 25, both are at 3 pm. At least one member of your coaching staff must attend one of the rules meetings or your team is subject to a fine from the league. If they participated in the April rules Zoom meeting they have met this requirement and do not have to attend one of the May meetings. Both meetings will have a virtual option (as well as in person). Both meetings will be available in person at the Marist pool at 3790 Ashford Dunwoody Rd. The zoom link for the meetings are as follows

I strongly encourage teams to send as many of their coaches as possible to the meeting though, as it covers a great deal of pertinent info on the league and this season.

Warm weather has thankfully arrived on schedule, I can't believe we will be kicking off the season in less than 3 short weeks. I hope your seasons are getting off to a successful start. As always if you need anything, please don't hesitate to call or e mail.

Thanks,
