Swim Meets
Here is some helpful information and times regarding swim meets
• All swimmers need to be at the meet at 7:30am.
• At every meet the warm-ups will begin at 7:45am.
• All swim meets begin at 8:30am unless otherwise noted.
• Most meets will end between 11:00am-12:00pm
• Meet signups (On the swim team bulletin board, front lobby), are due the Tuesday before the meet on Saturday. If the sheet isn't signed by Tuesday your child will not be entered into the swim meet. Please see the coaches for questions regarding entries.
• Swimmers are expected to attend 3 out of 4 of the summer meets. Swim meets are fun events that encourage team bonding, and build a sense of accomplishment in swimmers.
•What to bring to meets?
o Goggles
o Swim suit
o Towel (2 or more)
o Warm clothes
o Drinks to stay hydrated
o Healthy Snacks to stay fueled
• Swimmers will receive their event cards informing them of their assigned event, event number, heat, and lane number after the warm up session.
• It is helpful to bring a black sharpie pen to the swim meets to write event numbers on your swimmer’s arm in case their card is lost.
• Swimmers should be waiting behind their event lane at least 2-3 events prior to her/his event. This is the responsibility of the parent and swimmer. Meet Officials will not wait for any missing swimmers.
• Parent Volunteers are an important part of every meet. At the beginning of the meet there will be an announcement asking for timers. Please volunteer and support the team!
• Disqualifications (DQs) will now be strictly enforced for all swimmers!! There will be a stroke judge at every meet and if a swimmer does not use proper stroke technique they will be disqualified from the event and their time will not be counted. Please go over the attached guidelines with your swimmer.
• Each swimmer is encouraged to work on improving his/her times and should emphasize this as their main goal. Improved times are the only indicator of progress. It is recommended that each swimmer and parent keep track of the swimmer’s own best times.
• Ribbons will be passed out to each swimmer during the week following the meet.
Conflicts may occur during the swim meets. A swimmer may be left out of a race or may be given the wrong time. The coaches will try their best to remedy these situations as they may arise. No one should harass the other coaches or managers if a conflict occurs. Remember the swim meets are supposed to be a fun experience for everyone involved.
~~ Parents are encouraged to volunteer at our home meets and at the All City Swim Meets to help with the snack bar, timing the events, and organizing the ready bench. A small donation for the snack bar (box of candy, crackers, etc.) is greatly appreciated and proceeds will go toward swim team events. A signup sheet will be posted on the swim team board two week prior to the meet.
