Thank you. Remember you only have a few meets left to get your minimum 14 hours.

Here are some important reminders: Parents need to have their swimmers check-in with the coaches by 7 AM. We had some swimmers at our last meet with Fulton-El Camino who never checked in with the coaches but were at the meet. The coaches scratched them from their events, only later to find out they were there but simply never checked-in with them. Then our Coaches had to re-do the seeding again.

Swimmers should wait to see that their name is actually highlighted on the coach's check-in sheet to confirm the coach got them. Parents can accompany younger swimmers to check-in, but PARENTS SHOULD NOT CHECK-IN FOR THEIR CHILD! It's a good habit to teach your swimmer now! And you can remind the swimmers that arrive at your age group tent. Swimmers that do not check in with the coaches will be scratched from the meet.

Many teams do not seed their swimmers until after the scratch session. We seed the swimmers who will actually be swimming each race based upon their best time for that event. This is what determines their heat and lane assignment. So, the night before the race we may only know which swimmers are swimming which event, and not which heat and lane they will be in. This is also the reason that most teams use a ready bench. We will not know exactly what to expect until we get to the visiting team's pool.
