Types of swim meets
Mini Meet-These are geared toward out green groups and senior varsity. They take place usually during the week at Willamalane Pool after school hours. We generally have one every month. Swimmers should choose as many events as they want. Coaches encourage swimmers to pick at least 3 and different strokes.
Invitationals or Open Meets- These meets are for our blue and grey groups, however swimmers in senior varsity and green groups can sometimes attend our home Invitationals with coach approval. Swimmers must be USA Swimming registered in order to attend these meets.

Become a TEAM Official!
TEAM families, did you know that you could save over $400 per year on swim meet entry fees and take care of your volunteer hours all at once? If you would rather be busy, than waiting to watch your swimmers swim, please consider becoming an official! We will help you through the entire process. Officials are a necessary part of every meet in order for our swimmers to obtain official times with USA swimming. Our TEAM officials have fun at every meet, you do not need any swimming experience, and we always welcome new people! This month is the perfect time to start or continue the process of becoming a swim official. We have multiple ZOOM clinics coming up.
Already an official? Did you know by becoming a starter, Admin Official, or Meet Referee, you can earn up to $600 TEAM credit per season!!
