Meet Information

The Masconomet Swim and Dive team participates in the Northeastern Conference competing against Beverly, Danvers, Gloucester, Marblehead, Peabody Veterans Memorial, Salem, Saugus, Swampscott and Winthrop. The season starts the week after Thanksgiving and ends at the end of January. The season consists of nine dual meets (two teams head to head) - one meet against each school within the Northeastern Conference. Additional dual meets against a team outside of the Northeastern Conference or scrimmage meets might also be scheduled. The Masconomet Swim and Dive Team also competes in two multi-team meets: the NEC Dive meet mid-season and the NEC Championship, which culminates the end of the season. Dual meets are usually held on weeknights while multi-team meets are always scheduled on weekends.

The JV and Varsity teams compete at the same meet, but they race in separate events, alternating between each team. Points from each event are added together for each team to determine the corresponding team level's meet score. Points from the diving event are added to the Varsity team's score. Since the winter swim season is co-ed, girls and boys compete against each other so there are no separate events based on gender, and relay teams can be co-ed or single sex. Although placement during event races is based on the fastest times regardless of gender, swim times are gender specific where school records and sectional/state qualifications are concerned. If the meet is held at a location with a diving pool, divers will compete at the start of the meet, prior to any of the swimming events but after warm-ups.

Bus transportation is not available for meets. Swimmers must arrive for warm-ups 20-30 minutes early depending on the meet's pool location. Meets usually start late evening and last about 1 ½ hours, longer if the meet includes a diving competition which can extend the meet for an additional hour.

Team Attire is required for each swimmer/diver competing in a meet.

Volunteers are needed during every meet whether it is an away or home meet. Please check the Meet Volunteers page for more information.
