II. Building Entry and Arrival Procedures for Swimmer Spectators- Spectator Entry: The front (Ferst Drive) entrance will be for SPECTATORS ONLY.
- Admission: General admission ticket prices are $20 per session. We encourage you to visit GoFan Tickets to purchase them in advance at https://gofan.co/app/school/GHSA. We are in the 6A group so be sure to buy the correct ticket. Gates will open for spectators approximately 90 minutes before the start of each session.
- Security Screening: New for 2026 - Georgia Tech now requires all spectators to go through security screening to enter the Campus Recreation Center. This includes metal detectors and bag screenings. The less you bring into the CRC, the sooner you will likely get into the building. This policy is for spectators ONLY.
- Seating: GT has asked us to share that saving of seats is not allowed, only a body can save a seat.
- Swimmers need to Arrive Attired: Locker facilities are limited, we request that swimmers and divers arrive in their suits (under their clothes or warmups) to limit the need for locker room usage.
III. Parking and Transportation
For Swimming at Georgia Tech:
- Personal Vehicles: Prepaid parking for all personal vehicles and SUV’s can be done in the W10 lot, directly adjacent to the CRC. Prepaid parking will be available at https://gatech.parkmobile.io/events. Vehicles may NOT pay at arrival in the prepaid lots, those vehicles will have to park in the Day of Parking lots located farther from the pool in the W23 lot on State St.
