Swim Meet Deep Dive - Meet Mindset and Expectations
  • Ultimately, a swimmer's goal is to beat their own best times.
  • “USA Swimming Sanctioned Swim Meets” are how swimmers log official times (no matter how well they swim in practice, only swims during USA Swimming sanctioned meets are official).
  • Meet registration deadlines can be 1-2 months in advance - be on the lookout
  • Relays are put together by coaches depending on meet (not all meets have relays)
  • Meets have limited number of swimmers they can allow in the meet **
  • Expect that during the first few meets your swimmer will acclimate to the meet feel and structure:
  • Getting used to the noises, process, how it works, where to sit, where to go, etc.
Swim Meet Deep Dive - Meet Expectations for Parents
  • Communication about finalized meet/warm-up/races are communicated the day before the meet
  • Meet Mobile app important to have 
  • Some meets have printed heat sheets available to purchase $5 cash
  • Meets are long - bring work/book/snacks
  • Meets are warm - dress in layers
  • Your swimmer can come to you, but you can not go to your swimmer. CAVEAT - we need to keep swimmers in the team area because we don’t want them to miss their race.
  • A term to understand : DQ (disqualification) - don’t panic
