Attendance at Meets - Pointers for Swimmers:
∙ Be prompt, arrive early enough to get your numbers, your coach will tell you when to arrive.
∙ Review the program. Check to make sure you are properly entered in your events. If there is a problem, go directly to your Head Coach.
∙ Report to the YMCA’s swimmers’ area.
∙ Check with the coach when it is time for relays.
∙ As the meet starts, be aware of your event numbers. It is the responsibility of the swimmer to make her/his events.
∙ Check-in with your coach before and after swimming each event.
∙ If problems arise concerning disqualification, awards, etc., please see your coach.
∙ After the meet is over be sure you have all your possessions and help CLEAN-UP THE TEAM AREA.
No Shows
It is very important that you show up at the swim meets you have committed your swimmer to. We understand that things might come up, so make sure you inform the head coach ASAP if your swimmer can no longer attend a meet you are already committed to. If you change your status from committed to non-committed on Team Unify, you still need to let the head coach know since they do not get these notifications. This will save in lost entry fee money, relay teams, and up-to-date heat sheets. If your swimmer is sick or an emergency happens on swim meet day, still contact the coaches ASAP so:
- We know you and your swimmer are ok.
- Coaches can make changes at the beginning of the meet so the whole meet is up-dated on changes.
No Shows are not tolerated by the team. First time is a mistake, second time's a warning, third time you will be charged entry fees for your swimmer at each event for the rest of the season.
