Warm-Ups 

• Please arrive at the pool at least fifteen minutes before your scheduled warm-up time.
• When you arrive with your swimmer, send them to their warm-ups lane as soon as they're dressed.
• Find seating in the designated spectator's area
• Once the meet starts, swimmers ages 12 and under will be in a bullpen, which means they will be lined up and taken to their events by a coach. If your swimmer is 12 or under, please pay attention for when their event is called. If your swimmer is 13 or older, they are responsible for following the meet and getting to their lanes on time.
• After the meet, swimmers are responsible for cleaning up their area and collecting their belongings.

Meet Sign-Ups

Notes

• The deadline to sign up for meets is 3 days prior to the day of the meet. 
• If you have to cancel your attendance at a meet, it is extremely important that you do so not only on the website but also contact a coach, as this will affect other swimmers.
• It is required for parents to volunteer at swim meets, as our program depends on it. Job sign-ups can be completed at the same time and in the same place as meet sign-ups. Jobs include meet set-up, tear-down, concessions, and timing.
