Meet Info
- If your swimmer becomes ill and cannot swim in Saturday’s meet, please text the Team Manager (Ashley McCarthy 816-914-5292) ASAP. When swimmers do not show up for their commitment, it affects up to six other swimmers.
- Prior to check-in, write your swimmer’s events on their forearm in permanent marker where they can see them. For example, for event 11 heat 2, 25 free, write #11 H2 25 free. Do not include lane number.
- Girls’ events are odd-numbered; even-numbered events are boys’. The ten-place value in the event number corresponds to stroke; the unit-place value corresponds to age group (i.e. 11, 21, 31 are all 8 & under events.)
- Meet check-in is at 6:00 AM for home and away meets. Please make sure your swimmer checks in at the sign-up sheets on deck.
- During the meet, listen for announcement of your events. Swimmers should report to the clerk of the course when their event is called.
- After swimming an event, all swimmers should check in with a coach.
- Please consider donating a bag of Starbursts for coaches to distribute after events.
- Please do not approach stroke and turn judges with questions about disqualifications; please ask a coach.
