Swim Meet 101

Reminders
  • During the first week or so of practice, use a sharpie put your swimmer’s name on their arm, back or cap. We have over 240 swimmers and the coaches are doing their best to learn their names
  • Please sit on the north end of the pool, towards the pool house, and away from the lanes and coaches (as best as possible as the community pool has less space)
  • Do not go up to your swimmer or a coach during practice
  • Bring all your equipment to practice. This includes goggles, fins and a cap or at least a hair tie for long hair
  • Do not record/video practices - you can record/video your swimmer in a meet but not at practice
  • During practices and swim meets, swimmers (and their siblings) are NOT allowed in the shallow end of the pool or in the baby pool. This is a safety issue as there are no lifeguards on duty during our practices.

Talking to the Coach

If it isn't urgent, please email Coach Neal and he can set up time or answer via email. We are on a tight schedule with practices and we want to be able to allow for the coaches to focus on transition and our swimmers. If urgent, please wait until transition timeframe.
