The email distribution list will be generated from this form, therefore, if both parents want their email included, please be sure to fill out both contacts even though only one is required. Once you have completed the form, please drop off the registration fee to Chanelle Nemeth at 11651 Coopers Run, in an envelope with your swimmer’s name(s).

Hi everyone!

This message is extremely important, as you will find everything you need for Champs tomorrow!

Champs Info:
I recommend completing all of these steps and following this schedule to best prepare your swimmer(s) for their meet:

  1. 8:15 am- West Ledge Swimmers Arrive and report to the team area in the event center (main floor near concession stand – west part of building).
  2. Set up the swimmer’s area… I recommend setting out a towel, so they have a place to sit.
  3. Find their name on the event board and highlight it… this allows us to know your swimmer is here. Make sure your child highlights their name tomorrow. Otherwise, the coaches will assume that your swimmer is not there, and will be scratched from individuals and replaced in relays.
  4. Write your swimmer’s EVENT, HEAT, and Lane on their hand/arm in Sharpie
  5. 9:00-9:20 am: Warm-ups
  6. 9:30: Meet Starts

It is important to note that 7-8 and 9-10 relays will need to report to clerk of course IMMEDIATELY after they get out of warm-up.

  • What to pack: Extra towels, a blanket to sit on, card games/small travel games, some bring an iPad or device, cap, goggles, warm clothes, and money for the concession stand.

Rules to Note:

  • NO parents are allowed on the pool deck during the meet
  • NO swimmers are permitted in the stands when wet!! They MUST have shoes and be wrapped in a towel or be wearing clothes.
  • Swimmers must return upstairs after finishing their event.

Job Volunteers:

  • Please make sure you are ON TIME to the meet AND for your jobs!(If you are late to your jobs, it can cause many problems with flow and delay the meet)
  • ALL TIMERS report to the pool deck(corner by the lifeguard office) at 8:55 am for the timer’s meeting.
  • Please help out where you can. It is greatly appreciated and makes a big difference!

Scratches:
If someone is unable to attend Champs, I need to be notified tonight by 9pm. If you do not notify me by then, it is expected that your swimmer will be swimming in the meet tomorrow.

Admission Fee:
There is an admission fee to get into the meet tomorrow. It is as follows:

  • Adults and children: $5
  • Seniors: $3
  • Children 6 and Under: Free

Heat Sheet:
Heat sheet is coming soon…

I’m super excited to see all of your swimmers swim tomorrow! They have all worked extremely hard, and I’m so proud of how far they have progressed!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you have… Champs can be a lot, so I want to make sure no one is unsure of any details.
