Meets:

 

Swim meets are one of the ways to measure your swimmer's progress during the season.  There are several things to do to prepare for a positive meet experience for your swimmer.

 

  • Please make sure your swimmers get plenty of rest on Meet days.  
  • Leave youself plenty of time to get to the meet early.  Look for our team area when you arrive.
  • Please pack extra towels, a spare set of goggles and nutritious snacks and drinks for your swimmer. We need to keep our swimmers hydrated especially in warm weather. Even though we will be outside, the swimmers do get chilled easily. Don't forget to bring your Sea Monkey apparel and other warm clothing.
  • Kids--make sure to see a Jr. Coach to check-in and look for the swimmer and events posters to see what events your swimmer will be swimming at the meet.  Write the events on your swimmer's hand with a black sharpie marker so he/she know the events and which event to watch for at Clerk of Course.

    • Our team area will be outside in the back of the Rec (near where Clerk of Course is).  It can be hot so please pack cool drinks for the long day.  The Rec Center provides nice tents for the swimmers to keep them out of the sun.  Please remember to pack an extra towel, spare set of goggles, nutritious snacks and drinks for your swimmer. We need to keep our swimmers hydrated especially in warm weather. Even though we will be outside, the swimmers do get chilled easily. Don't forget to bring your Sea Monkey apparel and other warm clothing.

      Kids--make sure to see a Jr. Coach to check-in and get your note cards with your events written on it! Also, remember to check the posters with your lane assignments for warm ups! They will be posted on deck at each meet, and lane lane assignments will not change.
    • Meet Volunteers:
      Please note that we do not have any Champs assignments which require parents to be on deck.  Therefore, please stay off the pool deck.  If there is an emergency, please get the attention of one of the coaches.  It is more than fine to spend the day with your swimmer in the team area.
