| Swim meets are a lot of fun for the children but the day
can be long. Here is what you can expect (although each meet
may have some variation): |
- |
Start around 8:00 am and finish at 3-4
pm (most by 3 pm). |
- |
Warm ups are called by team, and swimmers are encouraged
to swim several lengths of each stroke to get used to the pool
(esp. for backstroke to watch
for overhead flag markers). |
- |
Races usually begin at 9:00 or 9:30 am. |
- |
All
heats for each stroke will be run together e.g. all Butterfly
races
will be run then Backstroke will be called. |
- |
A common order is Butterfly, Back, Breast, Free, I.M., then
Relays |
- |
Youngest age group starts first for each stroke. |
- |
Girls
usually swim first, followed by boys of the same age e.g.
Girls 9-10 Backstroke will be called, followed by Boys
9-10 Backstroke. |
- |
Calls for marshalling (getting swimmers registered and in
their heats) will be announced. Tell your swimmer to listen
for them. |
- |
Most meets allow each swimmer to enter 3 events, plus a relay,
usually
selected in advance. |
| |
| Team
pictures at each meet: |
- |
We
will take a team picture at the beginning of the lunch break. |
- |
Also,
we will take a picture of any medal winners at the end of
the day. |
| |
| What
to bring: |
- |
Lots
of healthy snacks and plenty of drink |
- |
Sunscreen,
cover up clothes, hats |
- |
Warm
clothes for the early part of the day |
- |
Extra
towels (3 or 4) |
- |
Lawn
chairs for the parents. Old blankets for swimmer (will likely
get wet) |
- |
Umbrellas
(for sun or rain) |
| |
| Tips for parents: |
- |
Encourage
your swimmer to strive for a Personal Best (PB) time. Not
all swimmers will place in an event (there may be 50 swimmers
per event, especially in the 9-12 yr groups). A PB is as
good as a place! |
- |
Encourage
your swimmer to wear their swim cap during their races (helps
us recognize our swimmers, also helps swimmers go faster). |
- |
Swim
goggles need to be adjusted tightly just before each race. |
- |
Encourage
your swimmer to cheer for their teammates. |
- |
Results
are posted once results have been calculated (combining results
from all the heats). |
- |
Ribbons
(event and PB) will be in your poolside mailbox when received. |
- |
Help
swimmers keep track of their caps, goggles, eyeglasses, towels. |
- |
Sunscreen
will likely need re-application several times each meet. |
- |
Maps
can be easily obtained from Mapquest to help you find the
pools. |
| |
| Please
note that the following is meant as a general guideline only.
