Swim Meets-What to Expect Coaches will determine who swims which events your swimmer will be in. Every swimmer has a place on the team and is important to our success. We want every swimmer to make every meet. If your swimmer is unable to attend any meet, please contact the coach immediately at wsstcoach@gmail.com. If a swimmer does not show up to a meet without letting the coaches know ahead of time, it will cause last minute changes that will cause delay to the meet. This is not fair to the swimmers on either team. If a swimmer does not show up without notifying the coach, that swimmer may not be allowed to swim in the next meet. We would prefer to know ahead of time, rather than 15 minutes before the meet starts. Check-in time for home meets is 6:45AM near the ready bench, and 7:15AM for away meets. Please be sure to check in as soon as you walk in the gate. If you are a parent volunteer, please check in with your parent representative. Warm-ups are mandatory. They are a vital component to each swimmers safety while in the water. Listen for the announcement for your age groups warm ups.
During the meet, swimmers should stay in their team area and obey their team parents. 13’s and Over do not have a team parent so make sure you are aware of the events and getting yourself to the bench on time!
Good sportsmanship is good team spirit. Cheer on fellow teammates. Don’t forget to let other swimmers know that they had a good swim. Have fun at the meets and do your best!

MEET START TIMES
Every swimmer must check in with Coach between:
Home Meets: 6:45 - 7:00 A.M.
Away Meets: 6:30 – 7:30 A.M.
If your swimmer has not checked-in, they will be scratched from all their races and replacement swimmers put in their place. If for some reason you are running late, please get word to Coach at wsstcoach@gmail.com that you are on your way.
IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US Meet Sign-out Procedures:
-If your child is going to miss a meet,
inform the Coach at least one week prior.
- Last minute cancelations will be
accepted if emergencies (i.e. sick kid).
Please add the Coach’s cell phone number
to your cell in case you have an emergency
cancelation or issues while in route
(got lost, flat tire). Why is this important? The Coaches arrange
the number of heats with the opposing
coach on the Sunday before the meet.
Then the coaches seed the meet and
get it into the computer by Tuesday.
If your swimmer is not going to be
there and nobody knows, it will take time
to re-seed and/or find another swimmer
to fill vacant spots in relays. It makes
for a very stressful morning and
often a delay in meet start. |
