SWIM MEET PREPARATION
What to bring/pack for meets:
- 2-3 towels
- Goggles plus an extra pair
- Cap
- Something to keep warm - sweatshirt, parka, robe
- Nutritious snacks
- Water bottle
- Positive attitude
***Your child is responsible for their belongings and their trash. Please remind them to keep their items together. Have them put their garbage in a garbage can or back in the bag they brought it in.
What to wear:
If you don't have a team suit yet, please wear a full/one piece suit for girls that is not too big, solid navy if possible. For boys, please wear jammers or board shorts only, no swim shirts, preferably navy blue. All athletes must wear a Victor Swim Club cap.
How to label your child's arm/hand:
For our 12-and-under swimmers, we ask that you please write your swimmer's events on their arm or hand prior to the meet. We recommend that you look up your swimmer's event #s/names prior to leaving for the meet, and place that information on your child's arm BEFORE you arrive. This will prevent you from missing any events by just looking through the program. You can find this information in 2 ways:
1) Go to the team website, log in, scroll to the meet under the Event heading, click on "edit commitment"
2) Log into the SportsEngine Motion app, click on "Events" then "Events & Meet Entries", click on "Declare" and then your child's name.
When you get the meet, you can purchase a program before warm-ups begin. Then you can fill in the heat and lane for each event. Below you will find pictures of how to read the program and write the event (E), heat (H), lane (L), and event name on your swimmer.
*Please note if your swimmer is entered into any relays in the program, as these do not always show up on the commitment section for your swimmer.*
