About Swim Meets:
How does a swimmer enter a meet?
The coach will determine in which meet and in which events your child will swim.
Parents must sign off on meet attendance by the Wednesday prior to the meet.
When should we be there?
Saturday meets begin at 8:00a.m. Swimmers need to be at the pool AND checked in by 7:30a.m. for warm-ups.
Monday night meets start at 5:00p.m.. Swimmers need to be checked in by 4:30 p.m. for warm-ups.
What should we bring?
At most meets there are few seats available, so it’s a good idea to bring lawn chairs. Other items you may want to bring include: umbrellas, sunscreen, camera, low sugar drinks, fruit snacks, etc.
Who will my child be competing against?
Each child will compete only in his or her age group and only against same sex swimmers.
