Hello Shark Families!
It’s almost time for our first swim meet of the season! Below you should find all of the information you need to make this a fun evening for your swimmer.
First things first…..
- Review the attached meet line up.
- Is your swimmer listed?
- If Yes, review the events that they are enrolled in. Please email bwaysharks@gmail.com with any questions by Sunday at 7pm. It is super important to let us know if you have a change of plans and are signed up for a relay.
- If No….
- If your swimmer is not listed and they plan to participate in the meet, please email bwaysharks@gmail.com by Sunday at 7pm.
- If your swimmer is not listed and they will not be at the meet, you don’t need to do anything. We will miss you and hope you are just vacationing and plan to participate in a future meet.
- A heat sheet will be emailed on Tuesday and also published to the Swimmingly Fan app.
- Volunteers Needed: In order to hold the swim meet, we need more volunteers (most are needed during the 2nd half). Sign up here today: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040545adae2da6f49-june If you have questions about what a specific role includes, please reach out to bwaysharks@gmail.com.
What does my swimmer need for a swim meet?
- Swimsuit
- Towel (Extra towels are great to have too)
- Swim Cap (not a requirement, but encouraged)
- Goggles
- Permanent Marker(s)
- Snacks, drinks and money for concessions
What do my friends and family need for a swim meet?
- Chairs or blankets to sit on during the meet
- Swimmingly Fan app on your phone – You can view the latest heat sheet and track your swimmer on the app. You can also review results from the meet on this app.
- Money for concessions – this is a great way to support the Broadway Sharks team during home meets.
What events will my swimmer be participating in?
- A draft heat sheet will be emailed to families prior to the meet, however, it’s a good idea to check the Swimmingly Fan app or the information on the fence for the final meet information. This document will provide your swimmer number, event numbers, heat number and lane number. Swimmers mainly need to know their swimmer number and event number. When they report to the Clerk of Course area, volunteers will be ready to guide your swimmer to the correct heat and lane (sometimes there are last minute changes so the information you see on the heat sheet may not be accurate).
- If you have questions about your swimmers events when reviewing the draft meet lineup, please email bwaysharks@gmail.com no later than the Sunday evening by 7pm prior to the meet date.
Steps for the swimmer on swim meet day.
- Arrive at the pool at 5pm.
- Check out the meet lineup at the fence (located near the area of practice warm ups at the Broadway pool). Find your swimmer number and event numbers.
- Write your swimmer number on your hand in permanent marker as pictured here. The “B” in front of the number alerts the timer that your swimmer is with the Broadway team.
-
- Write your event numbers on your arm. This is not required, but is a fun part of the meet experience for swimmers! It helps our swimmers remember their event numbers so they don’t need to keep returning to the lineup sheet or asking a parent!
- Listen for Coach Amanda or other coaches to begin warm-ups. (Around 5:20 pm for home meets)
- 6:00 pm – Swim Meet Begins
- Look for the Clerk of Course sign that shows when swimmers should be heading towards the clerk of course area to prepare for their event. The Clerk of Course will be a block of chairs set up in rows of six behind the diving boards. If you don’t know where this is located, ask a friend or anyone you see at the pool. New swimmers can find another swimmer to help guide them.
Happy Swimming and Go Sharks!!!!
