Swim and Dive 101

If you are new to high school swimming, you may find it a bit confusing. It's unlike USA Swimming club meets. High school swim is a competitive team sport, structured like the collegiate sport. Points from each event are added together for each team to determine the meet scores.

The subsequent pages give an overview of what to expect during the high school season.

Parent Expectations at Swim & Dive Meets:

• Positive feedback and cheering at meets.

• No talking or loud noises during dives and swim starts.

• After home meets, all parents are asked to assist in cleaning up the pool area: help put away chairs on the deck, pick up any trash left behind in the stands, any lost and found items put in swim office.
