SwimAtlanta is excited to welcome everyone to the 2024 SwimAtlanta October Invite at Georgia Tech! Below you’ll find important information to help families prepare for the weekend, from parking and pool access to warm-up times and parent tips. Please review carefully so your swimmer is ready and the meet runs smoothly.

Parking

• Primary Lot: W10 Parking Deck (next to the pool). Attendants will collect payments daily.
• Backup Option: GT Visitor Parking Lot – W02 Student Center Lot (353 Ferst Dr.). This operates as a “click and pull” system (like the airport), costs $2 per hour with a $15 daily max, and is credit card only. This may be a cheaper option for some coaches, swimmers, and families.

Pool Deck Access

Swimmers, coaches, officials, and volunteer timers are the only people permitted on deck. Parents and spectators will not be allowed on deck.
