Tiger Sharks

Night meets will last 2 to 3 hours. Swimmers will have to check in with coaching staff 1 hour prior to start of meet. The top OVERALL swimmers 1-8 in each event will receive ribbons the following week.

Weekend Meets typically take about 5-6 hours when there are only 2 teams participating. Invitationals and Championship days can run up to 9 hours depending on what events (strokes) your child is swimming. We ask that every swimmer checks in with a coach an hour and a half before swim meets. If not, your child will be scratched from the entire swim meet.

Swim meets can get very warm, so please bring shade for your family. Most families bring a pop-up canopy with chairs and blankets, ice chest with water, fruit, and healthy lunch items. No chairs or canopies on the pool deck. Sunscreen with SPF of 30+ should be applied every 2 to 3 hours to prevent sunburn. It is important to stay hydrated so bringing water with electrolytes is recommended. 

Championships is a 2 day meet with each swimmer swimming at least 4 events. A swimmer qualifies for Championships by attending just 4 swim meets during the current season. If a swimmer is in the top 8 overall, in a specific stroke in their age group, they will advance to finals at the end of the day. These swimmers will be announced by name over the lound speaker. The finalists will receive medals for top 3 and ribbons for 4-8. High point winners will receive trophies, as well as the top 3 teams.
