NCY Swim Meet Protocol

• Please arrive at the pool 15 minutes BEFORE the start of WARM-UP

• This allows everyone time to find their way to the pool, get organized, and ready to swim. 

• Coaches also need to hand in a "scratch sheet" prior to the start of the meet.  If swimmers are arriving late (without informing the coach in advance), the child will be "scratched" from, or taken out of, the meet and will NOT be put back into the meet.

• Come Prepared! DOUBLE UP!!! **(You never know what might happen to a pair of goggles, etc)

• Be sure to pack the following in your swim bag (Label all items!):

• Team bathing suit

• 2 Team Caps

• 2 Goggles

• 2 full water bottles

• 2 towels

• Clothes to wear on the pool deck

• ONE light, healthy snack

• Dry clothes to wear home

• Team Bags are to be kept by the swimmer on the pool deck, NOT in the stands or in the locker rooms.

• NO visiting spectator stands or Snack Bar without PERMISSION from Coach.

• It is very important that the Coaches know where their swimmers are at all times.  We do not want any swimmers missing their events simply because they left the deck without the coach knowing.

• Swimmers are not to leave the meet until their have spoken with the Coaches.

• For YMCA meets, we compete as a team, and therefore find in the best interest of the swimmers and the team as a whole, that every swimmer remain on the pool deck until the meet is over.

• For USA Swimming meets, once the swimmer is done with their last event, and has checked with the Coach for relay assignments, they may leave with permission from the Coaches 

• Parents are not allowed on the pool deck during a meet. **(unless volunteering to work)

• The team area will be designated by an NCY Team banner, so it will be very clear as to where your child is to report to.  

• If a problem arises, we will get you if need be.

• Each swimmer is seeded in the meet by time.

• The heats will be arranged according to these times, so that swimmers will be competitive with the other swimmers they are racing in their respective heats.

• Swimmers will be entered in their best times.

• Often times, meet entries are due a month prior to the meet.  We enter the child according to the times they have done at the point the entries are due. 

• We do not expect swimmers to achieve a best time every single race.  Often, we are working on new skills which will benefit in the end.  Every swim has something done right!

Cheer!  Be excited for the swimmers, & Have fun!  GO NCY!!!!!
