2022 Summer Meet Calendar - LONG COURSE METERS 

Please note that these meets are all Long Course Meters meets unless noted otherwise. In the summer season, we compete in long course meter pools, which are a little more than twice the length of our training pools at the Sachem high schools. Please speak with your group coaches at practice if you have any questions about this transition to the long course season.

 

Please be advised that meet attendance is highly encouraged. Long Course season will fly by, so be sure you’ve earned your cut times early on in the season!

5 - Move Ups: All move ups will be assessed and emailed to you directly from Coach Kyle & Coach Kim.

We are here to help and make these transitions as smooth as possible. If you do not receive a move-up email, please register for the same group that you were already assigned. If you accidentally register for the incorrect group or register before receiving a move up email, we will manually edit your account to accommodate the change.

 

 

Group Reminds

All parents and swimmers are encouraged to join your respective group remind class. We will share things with the group like cut times, weekly updates, reminders, and swimming content to help keep everyone up to date and expand on our communications as a program. Many athletes already have this app set up for their school assignments! Swimmers under 17 must have parental supervision when communicating directly to a class owner.

For anyone interested, you can still sign up to be a member of the Fire Island Junior Lifeguard Program for the 2022 Summer Season. Practices are held on Saturdays during the summer when we do not always host regular practices. Coach Kyle has worked with this program directly for the past 3 years and highly recommends it to many young athletes who are interested in competing in Ocean Lifeguarding events and learning Lifesaving Skills.


This year, the FIJL program is looking at a return to the USLA National Championships, which will be in Hermosa Beach, California this year.

 

Please Contact Bryan Krut for more information at [email protected] for information on the program.

 

Enjoy!
