Swim Meets

Swim meets generally run approximately 6:00-10:00pm. (Weather can affect the start time)  Swimmers are expected to be at the pool at around 4:00 for home swim meets and around 4:45 for away meets. Please do not leave the Swim Meet early without notifying our coaches.

Preparing For Swim Meets

** Check the swim team bulletin board for swim meet information.

** Parents need to report to meet duty assignment in a timely manner. If you cannot work a scheduled meet, please contact the Parent Volunteer Coordinator, Genger Borton, as soon as possible.

** Make sure your swimmer has checked in with the coaches upon arrival to the meet and has checked the event sheets. Be aware of the order of events and when your child swims. Find out the events and the order of the events your child will be swimming and write them down. Check to see if your child will be swimming on a relay team.  Write the events on the child’s hand with a "sharpie" before the swim meet.  (Ex:  P21 freestyle, P51 back, 11 Medley Relay breast)

** Be sure your swimmer has extra towels, goggles, warm clothes and healthy snacks.

** Swimmers need to report to the clerk of course on time before each event. Coaches and parents will help younger swimmers report to the clerk of course on time.

** Swimmers need to report to the coaches after each event for feedback.

** Swimmers need to behave appropriately and with good sportsmanship at all times (shake other swimmers hands, stay in the pool until the last swimmer has finished the race, cheer on all swimmers, etc).

** The slide pool and baby pool are not open during meets. Please help to remind swimmers there will be no horseplay tolerated during the meets.

** Let the coach know if you need to arrive late or leave early from a meet. If your child is in a relay and you leave early it means 3 other swimmers lose their opportunity to swim.

** If a child will not be attending a swim meet, it is the responsibility of the parents to inform the coaches in writing a minimum of 5 days before the meet.

** MOST OF ALL... HAVE FUN!!!
