Declare your Swimmer
- MUST declare ATTEND or NOT ATTENDING for each meet.
- Undeclared swimmers will be counted as NOT ATTENDING
- Parents choose what your child swims:
- CHOOSE 2 (TWO)Individual Events
- Coaches will enter RELAYS
- Swimmers will SWIM 3-4 total events (generally speaking)
- If your swimmer is not on a relay or is only on 1 relay
- our coaches will do our best to give them a 3rd event to swim
- totaling at least 3 but no more than 4 events for the meet.
- If your swimmer is ON A RELAY - THEY CANNOT LEAVE EARLY
- Relays are the FIRST and LAST events
- We plan to have EVERY swimmer RACE 3-4 Events total at each meet
- Swimmers are promised 2-3 events at swim meets to keep our meets from going past 9:30/10pm.
- 6 & Under Swimmers - can CHOOSE EITHER 42ft (half way) OR 25 FREE - NOT BOTH!!
After you Declare your Swimmer
- Please communicate early & often about conflicts - you can add NOTES to coaches in declarations
- It’s completely fine to do other fun summer stuff….
- If you’re on the fence about a meet vs. another commitment…Sign your child(ren) up as COMMITTED swimming - we CANNOT add them to the meet LATE; but we can removed them if they are NOT on a relay
- If you are not sure if your swimmer can attend the meet - DECLINE Relay participation but CHOOSE individuals events.
- Put in the notes section if you will be delayed or are uncertain if your swimmer will be there or not or need to leave early.
- for example: if your swimmer has a game put in the note, “baseball game, will be at meet by 8pm"
- OR your swimmer be signed up for individual events ONLY and NO relays.
- NO SHOWS hurt the team, It’s hard to fill in the gaps, especially on relays!! A NO SHOW for a relay lets down 3 other swimmers on that relay team if we can’t place an alternate.
- It's easier to NO SHOW to individual events, NOT relays! This will only affect YOUR swimmer.
- It's easier to REMOVE your swimmer from individual events after the deadline than to add them to the meet AFTER the deadline.
- If you aren't sure, it's safer to COMMIT to the meet with ONLY INDIVIDUALS, NO RELAYS
For Parents in Swimtopia:

- You and your spouse can “split” the meet-job and divide your time with each other.
- Most jobs will require you to work from start to finish of the meet; some jobs may require showing up early or leaving later than the end of the meet; please double check if you aren't sure.
