Swim Meet General Information
Your first swim meet will be an event to remember in many ways. Meets are several hours long, so be prepared. Usually the home team warms up first and are in the water when the visiting team arrives. The areas for the children will be designated, but the home team parents will have first choice of seating at poolside. The visiting team, parents or children, will sometimes have less shade, so come ready with gear to protect them from the sun. Some of the things they may need are sunscreen, hats, water, a large beach towel or blanket to sit on, and shoes or flip-flops to wear to the bathroom or snack bar.
Please plan to stay until the end if your child is scheduled for a relay.
Parents - please allow access for those working the meet
Quiet is needed at the start of each event so swimmers can hear the officials' directives.
