Commonly asked
questions about meets:
What time do I have to have my child at a swim
meet? If your child is swimming
the morning session you will need to have
him/her there in time for warm-ups – typically about
7:00 am. Warm-ups for the afternoon session
typically start about 11:00 am. This warm-up
time will be listed on our website prior to
the meet. Warm-ups usually last about one hour and then the meet will start.
• What is positive check-in? When your
child arrives for warm- ups there will be a
table close to the front door with the names
of each child. Your child will highlight his/her name so that the team running the meet will know who is
there. If your child does not do this they run the
risk of not being able to swim in the
meet.
• Can I go down to talk to my child or the coaches on
deck? No, for liablilty reasons
no parents are allowed on deck. If you need
to communicate with your child please make plans for them to come to talk with you in the stands. Alternately, you could ask another alligator swimmer to
ask your swimmer to come to
you.
• Can I send food with my child? Yes,
your child can take food/drink on deck,
however, please instruct them to clean up
after themselves.
• I hear a lot about parent timing at the
meets. Do I have to time? Yes,
every family has the obligation to time if their child is entered in a meet. It is very easy and not
something to be feared!
