Dear Coaches,

STAR Aquatics is very excited about hosting the NCS Senior LC Championships this weekend at the Greensboro Aquatic Center (GAC).  We have 350 swimmers and some very manageable timelines so we are looking forward to a great meet.

I have attached several pieces of information that will hopefully help you plan your weekend.

1.     A location map of the Greensboro Area which identifies local hotels and restaurant sponsors in location to the GAC.  NCS Senor LC Champs – Greensboro Area Map

2.     A parking map to identify traffic flow in and around the GAC (Coach & Official parking will be in lot #9 which is across Patterson St. from the GAC, use your credentials initially and then pick up a parking pass when you check in)  NCS Senior LC Champs – Parking

3.     A floor plan of the GAC that identifies the rooms you will be using in the facility and how they will be used (Note that team check-in will be to the left when you enter the building and that heat sheets will be available in that room prior to each session)  NCS Sr LC Champs Facility-Pool Deck Layout

4.     A timeline for Thursday Nights Session (note that a timeline for the rest of the meet will be in your team packet and that Thursday’s timeline is tentative dependent on positive check in and the ability to combine a heat of the 800’s or relays)  NCS Senior LC Champs – Thursday session timeline

The majority of these things can be found on the STAR Aquatics web page (www.staraquatics.com) under the NCS Senior LC Championship tab at the right of the page.  You may also find live results on this page and we will be utilizing the Meet Mobile and Live Results applications for those of you with smart phones.
