What
you need to know about swim meets.
Arrive at the
pool at least 15 minutes before the scheduled warm-up time begins.
This time is always listed on the swim meet information form. Upon
arrival, find a place to put your belongings. The team usually sits
in one place together, so look for some familiar faces and your swimmer's
coach.
Find the check-in
place (Clerk of Course) and your swimmer will need to check in personally.
Once checked in you may want to write each event number on your swimmers
hand. This helps him or her remember what events he or she is swimming
in.
Once a swimmer
has a lane assignments he or she should report to their coach and
give them that information. The coach will give your swimmer instructions
for the specific race. After the race, report immediately to your
coach to discuss the swim.
