Meet Information
Meet Information
High School meets are dual meets which are 2 teams competing against each other. Additional teams may be swimming at the same time and in the same heats, but may not be competing against the same teams. For example, 4 teams could be at one meet, but 2 sets of teams are competing against each other even though other teams' swimmers may be in the same heats and events. This sounds confusing, but the officials have it all figured out!
Dual meets usually last around 3 hours and have these events in the same event order alternating girls then boys: 200 Med Relay , 200 Free, 200 IM, 50 Free, 100 Fly, 100 Free, 500 Free, 200 Free Relay. 100 Back, 100 Breast and ends with the 400 Free Relay.
Family/Parents/Spectators are asked to be timers for these meets. In addition to having a great front row seat, volunteers get to show their support for their athletes and meet people from the other teams. Training is available, no experience needed. These meets don't happen without volunteers! AND the "Home" team could suffer a forfeit if insufficient number of timers volunteer so PLEASE show up at least 15 minutes before the meet is scheduled to start and help out!
*If you arrive late to the meet, please don't hesitate to relieve the timers or snack bar helpers that began at the start of the meet.
