Swim Meet 101
What can parents do to help their swimmers be prepared for their races?
- Indicate Attendance in Swimtopia by end of the Monday before the Meet. This is mandatory if your swimmer plans to be absent.
Update your attendance by providing your RSVP on meet in "Calendar".
Here are some tips for parents who are new to swim meets, including:
- Come on-time to meet
- Check-in with the Attendance taker
- Participate in warm-ups
- Find your age group Clerk and have the child follow instructions
- Write events on the arm in Sharpie (bring one from home!)
- Review the EVENTS (E) with the swimmer
- Review what HEAT (H) and what LANE (L) the swimmer will be in. (See image below)
