*Warm-ups and Coach
Check-in...as soon as you arrive at the pool, check-in with your
coach to let them know you are there. Please arrive 15 minutes
before warm-ups begin. This will give you time to set up your
"space" and check-in with your coach. We will be assigned a
lane for warm-ups which usually last 30
minutes.
*See
your coach before and after each race. They will want to give you
pointers before and analyze your race after.
Swim meets can be
long, up to 4.5 hours. This is a fun time for all the swimmers to
get to know each other as well as the parents. Remember swim meets
are important to attend to see how your hard work at practice has
paid off!
Good luck and have
fun!
