Where: Circle C Pool
The Timing Meet is chance for swimmers to get times before the official season begins. It is also a practice-run for new families to experience a home meet from beginning to end.
The good news is since the event is ONLY Seals it will be shorter than a normal swim meet. We still need parent volunteers for the entire meet; in fact more because we are not sharing positions which require multiple volunteers (e.g. timers). This will give your family a chance to practice what to pack, what to eat, try different volunteer positions before we hit the official season. You get the same volunteer points for this meet despite it being shorter.
Additional Notes:
If your child has a severe allergy please ensure you have appropriate medication (e.g. Epi-Pen) on hand and inform the Age Group parents. We are often in grasses or parking lots during meets. If you child has a bee, fire ant or other insect allergy please come prepared.
We have children with severe nut allergies and ask families to help us be a Peanut and Tree Nut free team. Please refrain from bringing food containing nuts to the swim meets. Children hang out in Age Group tents and contact may be unavoidable. Nutella contains nuts.
