WHAT TO EXPECT AT SWIM MEETS
Swim meets are a highlight of the summer! Swimmers do not have to attend meets but are strongly encouraged to do so.
We will communicate by email and at practices the deadline to "opt in" or "declare" to each meet. These deadlines are very important.
We use a software called Swimmingly to manage your swimmer's entries and to manage the swim meet.
Swimmers will chose their own individual events and coaches will choose the relays. If a swimmer is on a relay it is important to make every effort to attend the meet.
Swimming is an individual sport in terms of improving times and competing against other swimmers. It is a team sport in that we earn points with the overall placement of swimmers and with the relay events.
While swimmers make every effort to swim their best, and coaches do their best to teach the strokes correctly, occasionally swimmers will get "DQ'd" or disqualified from an event. For families and swimmers new to the sport this is often a big surprise!
