SPRINT MEET

This is a meet model that the league is testing this summer
You will notice it is only 38 events but many are combined girls and boys as well as mixed relays!
The goal is to still get prelims qualified times but cut our meet length down - we hope to be done by 11am!
We will move quickly, so keep an eye on heating and help us get your kids to where they need to be, when they need to be there!

Meet Tips

Pack the night before. Couple of towels, goggles, cap, sunscreen, sleeping bag/blanket and books and/or entertainment
Wear suit to meet
In sharpie on forearm write: EVENT-HEAT-LANE- for each of your child’s races (this can also be done at the meet with the help of a coach/jr. coach)
- example: “25-2-4” this would represent that my swimmer was in event 25 of the second heat for that event and swimming in lane 4
Dress for daily weather progression- may want a hat v. Bring snacks and fluids or be prepared to buy concessions (have cash just in case)
Get to the pool in time to warm up. Warm up is optional for 6U however arrive 30 min before meet or you may be replaced on a relay
Check races before the meet starts. Younger kids will get help making it to heating for their events/heating but 11 and up need to be responsible to watch the heat signs and get to their events on time themselves

PLEASE REMEMBER
