Championship Meet Guide
As we head into the Championship Meet Season, we get ready to send our Excel Swimmers into no less than 9 championship meets! While this is always exciting, it can be a little confusing to anyone who is new to the sport. Your best resource for choosing which meets are right for your swimmer is your own coach. However, to suppliment that conversation, we have created a self-guided tour through the championship season that should give you a better understanding of what the road ahead looks like.

Want to become an official?
All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members.
