Westcreek Wahoos

Welcome to the West Creek Wahoos Summer Swim Team

Meet Day

• Arrive to the meet early/on-time. 
• Swimmers must warm up in the pool prior to the meet.
• Swimmers and volunteers need to check.
• Swimmers are NOT allowed in the pool unless swimming their event.
• Bring plenty of water and healthy snacks.
• Bring an extra pair of goggles and your team swim cap. Swimmers are not allowed to wear "club" swim caps. Only plain caps or our team caps are allowed. 
• Bring 2 beach towels/blanket. (swimmers will need a towel/blanket to sit on and a towel to keep dry)
• Wear sunscreen! (apply after arm marking, before coming to meet) **Aresol sunscreen will remove sharpie. 
• Swimmers are ultimately responsible for lining up for their events. We will have designated areas for the swimmers to remain when not in their events, to keep them organized for their next swim. Please encourage your swimmer to remain there. Volunteers will line them up so they need to be paying attention and listening for their name. 
• If swimmers are not in line for their events, the meet will continue without them. It is not the coach's job to track down missing swimmers if they are not nearby when it is time to line up.
• Swimmers must remain well-behaved and listen to instruction. Any swimmers misbehaving will be sent to wait with their parents, and the parents will be responsible for lining them up for their events.
• Please do not remove your swimmer form the meet for the day without first checking with the coach to confirm if they are swimming in relays. Our goal is to have as many swimmers as possible swim these relays so don't be surprised to see them pulled in last minute.
• Swimmers in the final heat will be disqualified (D.Q.'d) for improper strokes. If your child is DQ'd, please assure your swimmer that it is okay and how proud you are of them for trying. The coaches get a list of the D.Q.'s and they will go over with the swimmers in practice!
