Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the last date to register?
A: We like to have our final roster by the mock meet but we will take new swimmers all summer.
Q: What is the $30 concession fee for and is it mandatory?
A: Every family is required to pay a $30 concession fee so the team can purchase the food to be sold during our meets. The money we make at concessions helps pay expenses for the team.
Q: How many jobs do I have to work?
A: 8 jobs
Q: Why do I have to work so many jobs?
A: Every meet requires 35-40 people from our team to pull it off. The jobs are fairly simple and the meet cannot take place without our volunteers. As the smallest team in the conference we need every person we can get to work.
Q: Can I pay a fee to opt out of working at the meets?
A: Unfortunately, at this time the answer is no. We are hoping our team will grow big enough that we can offer this option at some point in the future, but right now we need the workers.
Q: What if my child can’t make practice?
A: We understand that summer is a busy time and you plan family vacations and summer camps that conflict with practice. All we ask is you let the coaches know as far in advance that your child won’t be at practice or a meet.
Q: Can my child participate in a meet if they missed practice?
A: Yes, many of our swimmers participate in summer day camps that make them unavailable for practice in the morning, but they still swim in the meets at night.
Q: How far in advance should I tell the coaches my child won’t be at a meet?
A: 48 hours
Q: What time do I need to arrive for a meet?
A: Weekend meets start at 8:30 am which means swimmers need to be to the pool by 7:30 for check in and in the pool at 8:00 for warm ups. Weekday meets start at 5:30 pm which means swimmers need to be to the pool by 4:30 for check in and in the pool at 5:00 for warm ups.
