How to enter a
meet? (click here for
instructions)
Who should attend this
meet? EBAT swimmers with qualifying times (see
meet sheet for time standards)
Use the "Attend this
Event" button above to indicate if you will be
or not be attending this event. Please indicate which days you
are swimming.
- Please
remember to use this "Attend this
Event" feature only after you have
either mailed in your meet entries with payment
or registered online using the swim meet online entry
services as indicated on the meet sheet.
- The team does not send in your entries or pay for
your entries (except for relays). As always please see the meet
sheet to see the two ways you can enter the
meet.
Swim Gear
Please bring extra towels and clothes. The mornings will be cold so
the kids will appreciate having extra dry towels after their
morning warm up and after each event. Please have extra warm
clothes and warm boots or shoes. It will be too cold to wear
sandals all day. Remember, a happy swimmer is not a cold or
freezing swimmer. Also, you will not have to fork out extra
money at the swim shop to buy clothes or towels. Also
have your swimmer double check their gear before you leave
home. Again, you will not have to rush home to get the
missing gear and/or have to purchase new gear.
Potluck
We will have a morning potluck on Saturday
and Sunday so please bring healthy food items to share. Do
not bring junk food. i.e. donuts, candies, sugar snacks,
etc.... If you bring them, do not share them until after the
meet.
LANE LINE TIMING SIGN UPS
The EBAT lane line timing sign up sheet will be made
available in the morning for each day of the meet. There are no
advance sign-ups because kids do get sick the day of the
meet, then we are scrambling for timers to take those emptly
slots. When you get to the meet and are all settled in,
it is your responsibility to sign up for timing. If you
know your child is swimming later in the day please sign up for a
later timing shift. If you know your child will be swiiming only
one on two of the early events please sign up for an early
shift.
REMEMBER, it is mandatory for all
families to time. For those families who
don’t attend the meet, but do send their child to the meet,
it is your responsibility to have someone time for your child
during the day they compete at the
meet. You can ask one of
your fellow families, friends, or relatives to time for your
child. AGAIN, you will need to make arrangements for someone
to time for your child if you do not attend the meet yourself.
Creative things done in the past, hire someone to time for you
($10.00 an hour sounds about right). Ask fellow team families to
cover for you and then you can return the same at the next meet.
Ask one of your family members or friends to come support your
child by coming to the meet to watch them and to time for
them.
Canopies: We will also
need several parents to help transport our teams 6 canopies and
canopy sides to the meet. If you are able to help transport
canopies and sides, please pick one up by Thursday or Friday during
practice. Please try you best to help out with transporting
our team canopies as it is not fair for the same parents to
take the canopies to and from the meet every swim meet. We should
be sharing the task of transporting, setting up, and taking
down the canopies as we all use them. Even if you
volunteer do it 2 or 3 times a year, it is a huge help. If you feel
you cannot physically carry the canopy, don’t worry, we have
swimmers and parents who can transport the canopy to and from your
vehicle. For those parents who own their own canopies, please
bring them to the meet.
