General Swim Meet information:

  • All meets that JCCS participates in are sanctioned through USA Swimming via the Allegheny Mountain LSC (Local Swim Committee). 
  • Sessions are divided into AM session and PM session according to the age of the swimmer. 
  • A session can last up to 4 hours. For these meets, we recommend swimmers bring extra dry towels, comfortable, warm clothing to wear over their suits between races, flip-flops, and a sleeping bag/blanket/big towel to spread on the floor (if a gym is available). 
  • Many times, the swimmers will be on deck with the coaches. When swimmers stay in the gym, cafeteria, or corridor between events, and parents are welcome to stay with your kids in these areas. 
  • Coaches will typically be on the pool deck watching the competition, and talking with swimmers immediately after they race. Swimmers should go see a Coach immediately after every race.
  • After a swimmers last event they can check out with a coach and leave
