There is plenty of room to spread out and set up EZ-Ups on our spacious lawns. And the LPAC snack bar is legendary throughout the league for great breakfast burritos and tri-tip sandwiches!
Parent Relay:
We will have a parent relay at the end of the meet while the scores are being tallied. Any parent who wants to participate is welcome! It is usually a free relay and parents can do a 25 or a 50. We figure all the logistics out once we know how many swimmers we have. So grab your suit and goggles and join in on the fun! Find Adam and let him know you want to swim!
Event numbers:
Your child will get their race numbers written on their hand when they check in. They need to report to the clerk of the course about 3-5 events prior to their number. EX: they swim event 35, they should report to the clerk of the course at event 30-32. The event board will be next to the computer table.
As the events are finished the swimmers times will be posted. Adam Westgate, our computer lead, will also be posting the swim meet results on Swimtopia each week. You can also see your individual swimmers events and results in your Swimtopia app. He can't post them until we get the final results emailed to us by LPAC.
Buddies:
You are welcome to bring a small gift for your buddy ($5-$10 ). Buddy list is posted next to the girls bathroom on our event board. Please cheer on your big buddy and your little buddy.
Parents:
Parents you can drop your child off at the clerk of the course, but please do not walk with them to the blocks. There will be jr. coaches and big buddies there to help them. The area behind the blocks is closed off to traffic, its just too crowded. Parents you can meet your swimmers at the end of the pool with their towel. Please make sure you stay out of the timer’s way so that they can accurately get your swimmer’s time. They will help your swimmer out of the water.
When your swimmer checks in you can grab your child’s event numbers that will be on a label. You can put this label on the back of your name tag to help you remember what their events are. Each meet we will have new event labels for you!
What to bring:
It will be cool in the morning and then warm up in the afternoon on Sunday and your child will be swimming 3-4 events. Bring lots of extra towels-they will most likely not dry out in between races. It's always good to bring extra goggles and a cap in case they get lost or break between events. Bring lots of healthy snacks for your swimmer- they get hungry!
I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning!
