Morning View Meet Information
As usual, when you arrive at the pool swimmers should check in with Coach Katie or Coach Jenny. Volunteers should check in with Venita. The MorningView facility is pretty large, and it is pretty common that the coaches have to go looking for swimmers to line up for the bullpen. Please be sure that your kids are in a place where they can be sent to line up, for individual events and for relays.
MorningView sent the following information regarding the meet:
Address: 3000 Westbrook Rd; Suwanee, GA 30024
Parking: As always, parking is an issue and we encourage carpooling. Cars cannot park on the grass in the parking lot area or across the street from the clubhouse (these are private properties and not part of MorningView – the homeowners have been know to tow. Parents can drop their swimmers off at the clubhouse where they can enter through the gates and proceed to the visitor’s bullpen area which will be to the left and rear of the clubhouse by the splash area. As usual, please ask your swimmers not to play on the splash equipment or in the kiddie pool. Overflow parking is available in the following area: turn right out of the clubhouse parking lot onto Westbrook Road, turn right at Ridge Road, and take the first right at Morning Mist Walk (Havenwood neighborhood).
