SWIM MEET FAQ
Q: When can I talk to the coaches?
A: Before or after practice, please - but not during!
Q: How does a swimmer qualify for A-meets?
A: Coaches decide line-ups based on availability, times, and team strategy. The deciding factor between two swimmers can be tenths or hundredths of a second.
Q: What if my kid qualifies for an A-meet, but doesn't want to swim?
A: You know what’s best for your child. Feel free to declare your swimmer AVAILABLE only for B-meets and UNAVAILABLE for A-meets.
Q: How do you decide which strokes kids swim in a meet?
A: Coaches carefully decide strokes based on weekly progress. We want swimmers to see improvement, rather than DQ's (disqualification) for doing a stroke incorrectly.
