Tuesday Nights are Swim Meet Nights in Dunwoody - 10 feet allows Safe Parking for Safe Swimming

Last year I attended one of my children's swim meets at an away pool and as is usually the case, I was running late and I parked what seemed like several blocks away. As I walked closer to the event, vehicles were parked on both sides of the street leading up to the pool whereby a firetruck or ambulance would not have had enough room to squeeze by the cars to make to it to the pool in the case of an emergency.

Remembering that event, I requested that the City of Dunwoody partner with all ten of the swim tennis communities to make them aware of the issue and each was offered a customized flyer like you see above for my home pool. (Go DNDC Fins!)

I am told that each organization’s strategies to encourage safe parking is a little different, from e-mailing all members, to posting signs at their club houses, to even emailing their flyer to visiting teams. If your involved with your swim team's communications and have not seen your customized City of Dunwoody flyer, please contact Ms. Edie Damann at 678-382-6712 and she will happily email you the electronic document early Tuesday morning after the holiday.

So when you are running late to your children's swim meet, like I know I will, please remember to keep this ten foot spacing lane in mind as the safety of the event and the surrounding community are directly at stake.

Thanks.
