Arrival

• Check in if you're volunteering as soon as you arrive; swimmers need to check in with the coaches and see if they are swimming in a relay.
• A relay board is displayed in the bullpen area and shows each swimmer's relay assignments. Relay assignments are NOT in the heat sheets. All relays are subject to change during the meet.
• We STRONGLY encourage all swimmers to sit in the "bullpen." This is a designated space reserved for our team, near the bullpen volunteers, who will line up kids before each event/heat.
• If your child decides to sit with you outside the bullpen, YOU are responsible for getting them to the staging area early and on time. The meet will not be delayed for late swimmers. Coaches and volunteers will not attempt to locate swimmers outside of the team area for upcoming events. The officials/judges may disqualify late swimmers who disrupt the start of an event.
• Swimmers are encouraged to write their events on an arm or a leg using a Sharpie to ensure they report to staging at the correct time. Please write the swimmer's first & last name and age on the upper right of their back. 

Weather Delays

• Weather delays can happen. If lighting is detected, everyone must clear the pool deck, go to their cars, and wait for further communication from the coaches. DO NOT LEAVE until told to do so. Communication will be sent out when you can return to the pool and continue the meet. 

• If the meet is cancelled, we will have a make-up day. Away meets are the next day, Friday, and home meets will be on Monday.

Other Things to Note

• Officials will penalize us if certain rules are broken. Playgrounds, kiddie pools, and tennis courts are OFF LIMITS. Swimmers also cannot be in the pool or sitting on the edge with legs in the water while the meet is in progress. 
• While waiting to be called, please NO HORSEPLAY! Cheer your teammates on, but please refrain from unnecessary noise! SWIMMERS THAT REFUSE TO STOP UNRULY BEHAVIOR WILL BE ASKED TO SIT WITH THEIR PARENTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MEET. THE PARENTS WILL THEN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THEIR CHILDREN TO THE STAGING AREA IN TIME FOR THEIR EVENTS.
• The current event and heat will be posted at the starter's station.  Swimmers should return to the bullpen after completing their event and await the next event.
• Between events, keep your muscles warm. Wear warm clothing.
• Parents, please do not disturb the coaches during a meet.
