- Saturday All Ages - Warm-up at 11:00am, Arrive to the facility by 10:45am (Eastern Time)
- Sunday All Ages - Warm-up at 8:00am, Arrive to the facility by 7:45am (Eastern Time)
- Sunday Mile Session - Mile Swimmers are responsible for providing two individuals to serve as a timer and a lap counter during their race. Timers must be age 13&Up, Lap Counters can be any age as long as they are responsible & can keep track of counting
TEAM WARM-UP IS NOT OPTIONAL! Our expectation is that each swimmer participating in the session arrives early to the facility and gets in the water on time for warm-up. Please prepare accordingly to make sure your swimmer is not late getting into the water. This is disruptive and makes things difficult for the other swimmers on our team and our coaching staff. Swimmers who have not arrived for warm-up within 15 minutes of our team's warm-up period starting will be automatically scratched from the session and will not be allowed to participate in the meet.
Meet Fees & Date of Charge - Fees are $5 per individual event, $2 per relay event per swimmer, $15 per swimmer host team participation surcharge, and a $5 per swimmer YDSC Coach Travel Fee. You can use the swimmer entries document at the top of this email to add up your swimmer's fees total that will be charged for this meet. Meet fees will be charged to swimmer's accounts on Friday, January 31st.
Facility Address -
Vigo Schools Aquatic Center
2230 Prairieton Road
Terre Haute, IN 47802
Additional Reminders -
- Please read the meet packet thoroughly prior to the meet as it has additional information that may be useful to you. This email just hits the highlights for the meet and does not mention everything in the packet.
- Locker rooms are for swimmers only - there is absolutely no exception to this. There will be restrooms available for non-athletes. SafeSport rules require athletes & non-athletes use seperate facilities.
- Swimmers will remain with our team on the pool deck during the meet. Spectators will remain in the bleacher seating during the meet. There will be bleachers on deck for the swimmers so they do not need to bring chairs or blankets. Please make sure your swimmer has the items they need with them when they come on deck (snacks, towels, extra goggles/suits, games/things to pass the time, etc) - parents are not allowed on the pool deck and we want to limit swimmers leaving the deck as much as possible!
- Awards will be given to the top 10 finishers in each individual event (1-3rd will receive medals, 4-10th will receive ribbons) along with the top 3 teams in each relay event (ribbons). High point awards will be given to the highest scoring male and female in each age group division of 6&Under, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, and 15&Over. Team awards will be given to the top two overall highest scoring teams excluding the host team.
- There will be no admission cost for spectators. Heat sheets and results will be available on the MeetMobile app.
- There will be a bullpen for the 10&Under swimmers.
