Swim Meets 101
June 13th
Our first meet is Saturday. It's actually a Time Trial so we are not competing against another team. Please RSVP YES or NO online by WEDNESDAY night. I know everyone is busy, but we need you to take a couple minutes to do this. The purpose of the Time Trial is to:
- Get initial times to help better place swimmers in heats with swimmers of similar speed; this makes heats more competitive and helps expedite meets
- Help new swimmers and families understand how the meets are run
- Allow our volunteers to get acquainted with the volunteer roles
- Allow our coaches to set expectations with our swimmers
- Verify that all equipment and materials are in working order
At the bottom of this note is a link to information that describes what you need to know about meets - timing, responsibilities.
Also you will find a link to detailed swimmer stroke guidelines if you want to help your swimmer swim the strokes properly.
Highlights:
- Don't delay any longer, we need ALL families to RSVP YES or NO online by WEDNESDAY night for Saturday's Time Trial.
- We need all families with swimmers participating in the Time Trial to commit to volunteering online by Thursday. If you have a problem or concern, please contact the volunteer coordinator, Lynette Ercanbrack at [email protected]. See FAQS/FAMILY PARTICIPATION if you missed the parent meeting for the new policy regarding Non-participation checks.
