Swim Meet 101
Swim team may be new for many of us. To help us be prepared for the meet day, below are some tips.
What to do before a meet:
- RSVP your swimmer as attending/not attending in your swimtopia account
- The earlier you sign up, the better chance you get a volunteer commitment of your choosing. Keep in mind tent parents are season-long commitments, stroke/touch-turn judging, and the console operator has mandatory WHALe training.
What to bring to a meet:
- chairs for all spectators and swimmers
- 1-2 towels
- team suit, goggles, and swim caps
- water and/or Gatorade
- snacks
- sunscreen
- bug spray
- flashlight or head lamp to night meets
- activities for kids to entertain themselves between events
What to do at the meet:
- arrive at the correct call time
- check-in with the volunteer coordinator if you are volunteering
- check your swimmer in at their age group tent
- verify the last event your child is swimming so you will know when to pick him/her up
