DOWNLOAD THE SWIMTOPIA APP: It shows a personalized view of your family’s meet entries, volunteer signups and swim history. You can signup for meets and jobs, and receive push notifications. Pro subscription ($2.49/month or $9.99/year) has more meet/swimmer details... Watch app for update about upcoming events.
PARKING: Allow plenty of time to park (Mayfair home meet - park on right side of the street only to allow emergency vehicles to access streets).
CONCESSIONS: For home meets (volunteer parents) will be selling pizza, water and possibly baked goodies.
ATHLETES - WHAT TO WEAR: Wear your team suit or royal, navy, etc. Don't forget your cap, goggles, towel, and water. Coaches would like ALL swimmers to wear caps.
ATHLETE - CHECK IN: Please find one of the coaches to check in once you arrive. Send your swimmer to one of the coaches at the starting blocks FIVE events before you swim. We will check them in for each event as well.
PARENTS: We need volunteers - please sign up. Bring chairs. If this is your first meet, we have some seasoned older swimmers/parents, who are happy to help you.
HEAT WINNERS: We will have heat prizes for each heat winner. If swimmers are in a combined swim of events then the top girl and top boy will receive heat beads.
COMBINED EVENTS: We may swim some events simultaneously. Watch for announcements on deck - it will show as individual events on the app. For example, we have one 6U girl in event #1 and three 6Uboys in event #2 - we may swim all four athletes in one event - so the girl's lane number may change.
HEAT SHEET Print it to keep up with events. Look over the heat sheet to locate your child's event, heat and lane assignments and make sure to write it on their arm or leg (wherever it's easily visible for them) with Sharpie BEFORE they come to the meet. It should look like the picture below, just substitute your child's E (event) H (heat) and L (lane) numbers from the heat sheet.
RIBBONS/TIMES: Ribbons will be distributed after the meet.
