Entry (optional, but preferred)
How to enter a meet? (click here for instructions)
Who should attend this
meet? All EBAT swimmers who are not attending the Orinda
A+ meet.
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.
