Seating
The kids will need to look for Coach Madison and the other coaches on the deck. Parents will be sitting in the stands. Please understand, the swim meet will be run in two different pools: the GIRLS pool will be closest to the diving well, the BOYS pool will be closest to the scoreboard. Here is a link to the seating chart and pool layout.
Parking
Parking at Georgia Tech is unfortunately not free. If you would like to prepay for your parking and get your pass in advance, please visit the following link https://gatech.clickandpark.com/. Please only buy the day you need and make sure you select the correct day (Day 1 is Wednesday, Day 2 is Thursday, Day 3 is Friday, Day 4 is Saturday), no one will need an All Day pass.
