What to Bring: Packing properly for a swim meet is very important. Your child will need two towels (one to use and one to sit on), goggles (label these and keep up with them), dry clothes (flannel pants and hooded sweatshirts are favorites) for after the meet, water for hydration, and suit and cap. Many kids also bring games or electronics that can be played between events. Your children must keep up with their own belongings. The lost and found is always overflowing after a meet; double check your things before you leave after the meet’s conclusion. The team area is outside of the pool area so you may also want to bring chairs/blankets to sit on. No coolers are allowed on the pool deck. The Barn and Tiki will be open and food trucks will also be available from 5-8pm.

I have attached the Heat Sheet to this email. I will also always upload the Heat Sheet (the day of the meet) and Meet Results (the day following the meet) to SwimTopia under the Meet Event listing. To find these you will go to the “Meets and Events” tab > Find the Meet and you will see the Heat Sheet and Results below the Meet name next to an attachment icon that looks like a paperclip. You will also be able to see these on the Home page under the Upcoming Events section. Directly under the meet name you will see the same attachment icon that looks like a paperclip with the Heat Sheet.

For all 10&Under Parents, please use a black sharpie marker to help younger swimmers write their events, heats, and lane numbers on their arms. It is also helpful to the age group parent if a young swimmer’s name and age is written on their back on their upper right shoulder. The heat sheet will tell you the order of events and what heat and lane your swimmer will be in. Prior to the start of the meet, mark your swimmer’s arm with event number, heat, lane number, and stroke.
