If your team does not check in until Friday, team check-in will be done in the back hallway of the

CERTIFIED COACHES:

All teams must submit a full roster of their coaching staff to the GHSA by January 15. This list

may be submitted via the following link: Access to the Coaches Name Submission System is

restricted – users must login to the GHSA MIS website (http://app.ghsa.net) To begin, click the

Coaches link on the School menu – the coaches list for your school is displayed. As a starting

point the coaches appearing in the school directory are loaded

All coaches must also complete the required GHSA rules clinic and be on the GHSA authorized

coaches list or be subject to a fine from the GHSA. A list of approved coaches will be published

on ghssca.com and will be mailed to teams prior to the meet.

COACHES MEETING: A mandatory coaches meeting will be conducted 45 minutes prior to

the start of each prelim session in room 147. This is located in the back hallway of the deck level

of the aquatic center near the area for team check in. A member of your coaching staff must be

present at this meeting.

CREDENTIALS: Per GHSA rules you will be provided credentials for all of your qualified

participants, up to 4 male and 4 female relay alternates, as well as approved coaches on the

GHSA swimming and diving list, and up to 2 additional team staff members (trainers or

managers). Additional staff credentials can be obtained via the entry process and including those

individuals on your state team roster. The deck will be for swimmers and credentialed team

personnel only, please remind your swimmers the importance of keeping their credential if they

leave the deck.

The only individuals allowed on deck will be participants, coaches, volunteers, and credentialed

meet officials. Access to the deck will be monitored by meet workers and security. Please help

us police this policy and instruct any parents or students not participating in the meet to remain

upstairs in the spectator area. This will allow the swimmers to better access the blocks for their

events and should minimize swimmers missing races. Athlete and Coach credentials may only

enter the building via the back entrance to the CRC. Those credentials will NOT be

accepted at the front of the CRC, where spectators enter the building. Persons caught trying

to pass their credential to an unauthorized person will be subject to ejection from the facility and

will be referred to the GHSA for disciplinary action.

team areas in the hallways off the pool deck. Please only take the space your team needs for your

swimmers. Teams may NOT bring tents, grills, flat screen televisions of any kind into the

facility. Teams are welcome to bring team signs, but we request you use blue painter’s tape or

TEAM ARRIVAL AND PARKING -

Please follow these steps carefully, as it will help limit congestion and confusion. Teams will

receive one parking credential per team with their team pack. Vehicles parked on Tech Parkway,

Hemphill Ave., Wallace Street, Atlantic Station satellite lot or any of the designated surface lots

along Marietta St. without a parking pass will be ticketed, booted or towed. A full diagram of

parking and the area around the pool can be found at ghsssca.com and selecting State Meet Info

and then selecting 2018 Parking Maps.

Team Drop Off - Team drop off will still take place on Tech Parkway by the back entrance to

the pool as it has in years past. With that side of Tech Parkway being 2 way traffic now teams are

required to approach the building from the south when bringing their athletes to the pool. You

will not be allowed to access Tech Parkway from Northside Drive travelling south. You must

enter Tech Parkway either from North Avenue or Means Street. We will have a map diagraming

this out shortly on ghssca.com and will e mail it to you as well. Bottom line, plan some extra

time to get your athletes to the pool the day of the meet (specifically prelims) as it will be very

congested.

Large School Bus Parking – Full size school busses will have to park farther away from the

CRC than year’s past. Large school busses must park in either of two locations; either Hemphill

Ave. or Atlantic Station. Hemphill Ave. is close enough to the pool to walk, however Atlantic

Station is 1.5 miles from the pool. There will be a shuttle that will run from the Atlantic Station

lot back to the pool, estimated trip time will be from 10-15 minutes from one location to the next.

Note, this shuttle will NOT pick up drivers along Hemphill Ave, it will only go directly from

Atlantic Station to the pool and back. With that in mind, we strongly advise teams to have a

driver lined up for those full size team busses so that coaches can remain with their athletes. As a

courtesy to teams whose team bus is actually driven by the swim coach, please only park on

Hemphill Ave. if you are the only coach for your team and you’re actually driving the team bus.

If you have a separate bus driver, please have them use the Atlantic Station lot.

Mini Bus Parking – Parking for these vehicles will take place at the north end of Tech Parkway

past the team dropoff area, as well as on Wallace Street. Overflow parking for these vehicles can

try Hemphill Ave. as a third option. If all else fails, these vehicles should go to Atlantic Station

and use the shuttle to return to the pool. Again, the shuttle trip time will be about 10-15 minutes

each way, so plan accordingly. With that in mind, we strongly advise teams to have a driver lined

up for those mini busses so that coaches can remain with their athletes.

Parking for Personal Vehicles for Teams and Volunteers - If you are using a personal vehicle

(car or SUV) this will not impact you significantly as you will have access to the normal parking

areas along Tech Parkway we have used in the past, this should be your first option to park. We

also have overflow spots in the marked surface lots along Marietta Street marked W04 and W06

on the parking map.. Please use the spots on Tech Parkway as your first option though. As I

mentioned, a large number of our regular parking spots are no longer available, so carpool if

possible as those spots will be gobbled up quickly.

Spectator and Non-credentialed Vehicles - Spectator, athlete, and extra team vehicle (car or

SUV) parking will be allowed across from the front entrance of the building (signs will point you

in the direction you need to go), for $15 per vehicle/session. Advance parking can be purchased

for a discount at https://gatech.clickandpark.com/events.

MERCHANDISE: Team IP will be on site with official championship apparel and swimming

related products. Merchandise will be available on the spectator level of the pool in the

classrooms across from concessions.

meet. School photographers may request a press pass from the meet director (see details below),

personal team photographers will not be allowed on deck during the meet. Flash photography in

the spectator area is not allowed. The GTAC is equipped with broadcast level lighting, flash

photography is not needed. Those failing to comply with this request are subject to removal from

the meet.

VTw8YixFiAXL8Ktw9wyatP9O-3rQ/viewform?c=0&w=1 . One (1) photographer or

videographer will be considered per team, but not guaranteed. There are a limited number of

passes that will be issued on a first come-first serve basis. No requests will be taken onsite. When

approved, your photographer will need to enter the building at the front and proceed to the GHSA

Pass Gate, purchase a ticket to the event, present their ID and will be given a photo pass with
