The Georgia men’s and women’s swimming and diving will host NC State in a battle of elite programs for a “Swimapalooza.”
Friday’s meet is “Swimapalooza,” a special fan-oriented meet at Bauerle Pool at Gabrielsen Natatorium. Admission to Bauerle Pool at Gabrielsen Natatorium is free for all spectators, with doors opening at 5 p.m. and the meet beginning at 6 p.m. EST.
Prior to the meet, fans will be able to experience “Swimapalooza: Deluxe Edition,” featuring face painters, balloon artists, photobooths, and a kids’ zone in the Ramsey Center hallway outside the natatorium. The first 500 spectators will receive a commemorative T-shirt, with the first 250 spectators receiving free food.
The Bulldogs and Wolfpack will compete in a shortened meet format featuring primarily 50-yard and 100-yard events, with each individual competitor announced one at a time with spotlights and hype music. Emcee Mike Radford will serve as the in-pool host, helping to hype up the crowd and provide explanations of the events to novice swimming fans.
Following the meet, the “Deluxe Edition” will reopen for an hour following the event’s conclusion with the student-athletes meeting with fans for photos and autographs in the Ramsey hallway.
