About Swim Meets

What to Expect at Swim Meets

Swim 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.

What to Bring

Swim meets can get very warm, so please bring shade for your family. Most families bring a pop-up a canopy with chairs and blankets, ice chest with water, fruit, and healthy lunch items. Typically there are snack bars at every meet but they are not guaranteed. 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.
