To compete in a swim meet, swimmer must be able to swim unassisted the length of the pool. Time DOES NOT matter!

Meets are 100% run by parent volunteers - we will not start a meet until all spots are covered. Please do your part. We ask each family to work at least 4 shifts over the course of the season.

Since this is a virtual meet and we are not having any relays, all volunteers will work the entire meet. Anticipate 2 hours.

We will be using only lanes 1,2,3,4,5 - If we feel to slow or fast, we will adjust.

6U will swim free style

2. Have a legal time in the individual event(s) they wish to compete (free, breast, back, fly)

*Over the course of the season, the coaches will place swimmers in different strokes for the above reasons.*

Coaches determine heating and relays.

Please arrive on time, the coaches will mark your swimmer with their event/heat/lane assignment with sharpies on their arms or legs. PLEASE DO NOT PUT ON SUNSCREEN UNTIL COACHES HAVE MARKED YOUR SWIMMER.

Please bring chairs, water, snacks. The club will open snack window/bar - typically drinks and burgers available. They take cash and credit card if you are not a club member.

We will provide 3-4 tents for shade. You are welcome to sit around the pool or outside. The club will give us boundaries to sit around outside of the pool. Please do not go past the flags or play on the greens.
