What Parents Should Bring and Do

The following is a list of tips to help make meets as fun and efficient as possible:

• Bring Sharpies for marking your child's event, heat, and lane info on their leg or arm
• Bring a highlighter to mark your child's event info on the heat sheet
• Bring folding chairs and shade devices
• RSVP for each meet
• Sign up to VOLUNTEER
  
• Know where your child is at all times and help them be ready to line up for their event when the ready bench volunteer calls for them
• Check in with Team Reps upon arrival or let them know (via text) if your child will not be at the meet
• Have your child at the meet on time with all equipment and be ready to swim their best and HAVE FUN
• Have cash (small bills) for the concession stand 
• Parking is very limited; please try to walk to the home meets if possible

What to Bring to a Meet

• Team Swimsuit
• Team Cap 
• Goggles (always a good idea to have an extra pair)
• Team T-Shirt
• Sunblock
• 2 towels
• Water
• Healthy Snacks
• Boredom Busters (books, card games, coloring books, etc.)

WHAT TO EXPECT ON A RAINY DAY MEET
1. If raining on the day of a meet, all teams must show up to the meet or
a forfeit will take place.
2. Only the meet referee can call a meet off because of rain. The
decision takes place only on the day of the meet at the meet site.
3. Just because it is raining where you are at, do not assume that it is
raining at the meet site.
4. A meet can take place during rain--but not if there is thunder or lightning. Thunder and lightning can cause a 30 minute delay during or
before a meet.
5. If a meet starts and has progressed to or beyond event #38, and the
meet must be halted due to thunder and lightning with no chance of
finishing the meet, then the meet is considered completed and scored
through whatever event was completed last.
6. If a meet is canceled, the host team is responsible for checking with the
visiting team-BEFORE THEY LEAVE-to set up a mutually agreeable date
for a re-swim meet. If no date can be agreed upon, then the meet is considered final with a score of 0 to 0.
7. If a meet is rescheduled, please send the league President an e-mail
with the date and time the new meet will take place so I can update the
meet schedule on the league's web site.
8. Ensure team parents are educated about rain day meet rules.
