Swim Meet 101
Sign up for each meet will on Swimtopia prior to each meet. Swimmers will be given a deadline date to sign up for the events they wish to swim (three per swimmer/max): if swimmers DO NOT sign up by the given deadline, they will not be entered into the meet. If you are out of town, you can email Coach Jerry the events you would like your swimmer to compete. All decisions for relays will be at the coach's discretion.
What should I bring?
- Blanket or chairs (pool deck chairs are not
available during meets) - Sunscreen/sun hat
- Towel/sweats
- Goggles
- Water
- Small bills!Money for the concessions: tomorrow’s meet will have donuts, coffee and Gatorade. (If you are willing to donate bulk items such
as fruit snacks, goldfish, granola bars, we’ll take them and sell them back to
you ;) - A sharpie (to write your swimmer’s events on
their arm….don’t worry, we’ll show you) - Patience – this is a dress rehearsal meet for
swimmers, coaches and YOU the volunteers who make the meet run)
The toddler pool and toddler pool area are NOT open during swim meets.
How can I best support my swimmer? AND have an efficient
meet?
- Download the Swimtopia app
- Familiarize yourself with the order of events
and know your swimmer’s events.These are
attached and will be posted at the pool in the morning. - Sharpie the event numbers and stroke/distance on
their arm (optional but handy!) - Help your swimmer know when their event is
coming up by following along on the event dry erase board. - Help your swimmer keep track of their goggles
between events. - Encourage your swimmer to be at the heating area
near the starting blocks when they hear “First Call” for their events.
