Swim Meet 101
- 5 Optional Swim Meets on Fridays or Saturdays
- League will organize, set up, and officiate meets
- Just sign up, show up, and have fun!
Trout coach Andrea will set up the relays before the meet and will be at the meets.
The Basics
What should I bring? Water, snacks, extra towels, electrolytes and maybe a folding chair. Meets will have concessions but since meets are usually near dinner time you may want to bring more food for s.o.'s & kids.
What if I need to arrive late / leave early? Let us know in the coaches note.
Kids at meets? Fun relays? Event #1 is a multigen relay that runs as many legs as we have kids + parents. Most meets have an open swim area at the meets that kids can use.

Will I be on a relay? In the coach's note, let us know if you're pro- or anti-relay. We'll try to field as many swimmers as possible on relays. We will have a practice before the first meet focused on meet relays!
