Swim Meet Information

The best part about the swim team is the swim meets. They're super fun and exciting and build team camaraderie. Please read through this swim meet information to ensure your swimmer knows what to expect and shows up ready to race!

The All Stars meet is a meet for swimmers with qualifying times. This year's meet will be hosted by Marinwood Waterdevils. The MSL will use a 2-team format this year with each swimmer assigned either to the Blue or Red team. They will swim with and score points for their team and, hopefully, form friendships across the league.

The Champ's Meet is the largest and most exciting meet of the season, with all 10 MSL teams at the same meet competing for the highest points for their team. Please plan to have your swimmer attend on June 28th! This year's meet will be hosted by the Tidalwaves.

 

Events

A swim meet is organized by events (see order of events below), then Age Group (youngest groups to oldest). In the MSL, each age group only swims 1 distance for each stroke. Children 8 and younger will swim 1 lap (25 yards) for each of their races, 9-14 year-olds will swim 2 laps (50 yards), and 15-18yr olds will swim 4 laps (100 yards).

Coach Richard will assign relay teams.  If your child will not be available for a relay due to schedule constraints, please include that information in the NOTES section when declaring for a meet.

 

Heat Sheets

Heat Sheets are the schedule/guide to who is swimming in what event, heat, and lane. This will also show the swimmer's name, the best time in that event, and who they are racing. This is a great way to keep track of what’s going on at the meet and track your child’s progress.

Heat Sheets are posted in the following locations: 

·       HEAT SHEETS TAB typically posted by 12:00 noon on Friday

·       Scott Valley Reception office wall

·       Ondeck app under the event

Please make sure to bring a Sharpie marker, so you can write the heats and lanes on your child’s hand. This is a great way for them to learn how the meet works and to make sure they do not miss any races. Please see the example below,
