THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT SWIM MEETS

1-     Come ready to swim fast and have fun!!!!

2-     Bring EXTRA caps, goggles, and swim suits just incase something bad happens

3-     Bring towels!  You have to dry off with something!

4-     Bring a WATER BOTTLE to the meet to keep you hydrated throughout the day!

5-     Don’t forget to put clothes on—shoes are a MUST-- so that you are warm and saving your energy for the swimming!

6-     Make sure that you report to check in to get your events!

Warm-up begins 60-90 minutes before the meet begins

      the home team’s warm-up is FIRST, visitors are closer to the start of the meet

For our home meets here are the warm-up times:

- Wednesday night meets:  Sea Lions (4 - 4:30pm), visiting team (4:30 - 5pm)

- Saturday meets: Sea Lions (7:45 - 8:15 am), visiting team (8:15 - 8:45am)

- Older kids (11-12 and up warm-up first) 

-warm-up is an important time to let the coaches know that you are there and ready to swim fast!  This is the time to work out those last minute touch ups that are important in our sport!

-swimmers should be involved in the team warm up.  If you miss the warm-up for your age group, make sure you let one of the coaches know. 

-after you are done, get warm and ready for the team cheer!

After warm-ups are over, the coaching staff will lead the Sea Lions in a TEAM CHEER!  This is a lot of fun and we want our competition to know we are ready to Get ROWDY! 

Immediately following the team cheer, the Relays will begin! 

PLEASE make sure that you are ready for the relays!  They are what get us going at each and every meet!  The relays start FAST so get behind your lane as soon as possible!
