Barracuda Swim Team

Swim Meets are a wonderful time for the team to come together, enjoy each others company and compete against other teams in our league. Below is information on some essentials to bring with you to swim meets and what to expect.

Before the meet:

• Please take the time to RSVP your swimmer for each meet he/she can attend. You can do this on our signup tab. Coaches will put in you in the events they'd like you to swim in.
• If sign up deadline is missed, coaches will input you in meet unless advised the athlete will not be able to attend. 
• Note: It is the coaches final say on what events will be swam by the athlete. The coaches are open to events each swimmer would like to swim but they do need to balance the meet and ensure all athletes have equal opportunity.
• Relays will be decided by the coaches.
• If you will be away for any meets, please let the coaches know by your RSVP.
• Parents, you can also use the signup tab to tag yourself into some jobs. Please do so. The more we get filled ahead of time, the less we have to do the day of.

Swim Meet Expectations:

• Each athlete will participate in every swim meet. Please discuss with a coach if you have questions regarding this.
• Each athlete will warm up prior to the start of the meet.
• Please be on time for warm ups
• All athletes will stay for the duration of the meet to support their teammates.

What to bring:
