SWIM MEET REGISTRATION
Registration for the first
swim meet of the season is now open!!!!!!
Our annual Time Trials Swim
Meet will be Saturday, May 24th from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. All swimmers are
encouraged to declare they will or will not be attending this meet. For new
families, this is a chance for your swimmer to see what a swim meet is all
about. This is a smaller meet because there are no relays. It is a great opportunity
for all swimmers to record swim times for seeding in future meets.
It is understandable that new
swimmers may be apprehensive about swimming in a meet so early in the season,
but seeing is believing and we are confident your swimmer will love the Tiger
Splash swim meet atmosphere (and
halftime dancing). Because there are fewer events (no relays),
this allows the meet to move at a moderate pace and not be too overwhelming for
our new swimmers. (Even
if your swimmer doesn't feel ready, we encourage you to register them up for a
freestyle event or more to gain the experience.)
Registration will close this Wednesday
evening (5/21). If you have any questions, there will be board members
available at practice this week. Most importantly, we ask that ALL
FAMILIES access the link even if you will miss the first
meet (to designate that your swimmer will not attend). A few instructions are
listed below to help navigate the registration process for your swimmer.

6 & Under swimmers are encouraged to complete the freestyle and kickboard
races unless experienced in other strokes)
4.Sign-Up for Volunteer
Position- Click on the green “Sign Up for Job Shifts” button and
volunteer for a position. We rely on a team of volunteers to help all of our
swim meets run smoothly. Most positions are on the day of the event and fall
into 1st-half and 2nd-half timeslots. A few positions are scheduled for the
Monday following the meet (ribbons and beads). Please, if at all possible,
volunteer for at least one job slot per family.
IMPORTANT: Parents will be allowed on the
west pool deck during the meet; tents and chairs will not be allowed on deck
and can be setup outside the perimeter of the pool fence.
The heat/psych sheets along
with other helpful meet details will be emailed out at the end of the week
prior to the upcoming meet.
SCRATCHES: If you have any last-minute
conflicts or your swimmer will not be able to attend the meet once sign-up is
closed, please let us know as soon as you can. Please email us at [email protected]
Please let us know if you have any questions at all. We are so
excited and are looking forward to seeing all our swimmers in their first meet
of the season!
