2024 Hyack May Swimmeet

Updates for Swimmers

Quick Notes:

• Full meet package is on club website and Swimming Canada  
• This is a heats and finals meet.  Distance is on Friday between heats and finals.
• Relays on Friday are in finals.
• There is no spectator seating for prelims.  There will be limited seating for finals and distance.
• Coaches attending: Coach Amber and Coach Ronald

About Warm Ups:

• It is important that swimmers arrive before the listed times to get appropriate space on the pool deck.
• Please try to sit on the side of the pool with the scoreboard, near the false start rope, similar to where we have sat in the past, and sit together.  Deck seating will be extremely limited and deck chairs will be required.  Swimmers may also set up tents outside, however entry will only be through the front of the building so swimmers will need to be prepared and paying attention.  Rain is in the forecast for Saturday.
• Activation will start at the posted times unless a swimmer is otherwise directed. Session times are also listed.  Warm Ups are split into two groups amongst the teams in attendance.  Reminder - once again we strongly recommend that you arrive early to find sitting on Friday.  1st group warm up is in the water at 7:30AM

Team Expectations for Finals and Relays:

• Unless a swimmer noted during the meet sign up process they are unavailable for a finals session, swimmers who are on relays, reach finals, or are 1st/2nd alternate after prelim results, are expected to return for finals.  Please note there is a $20 late scratch penalty for finals.
• There will be A&B finals in all 50m and 100m events, along with the 200IM.
• Relay swimmers for Friday will be confirmed during prelims.  Once again, coaches will assume swimmers are available unless noted on the meet sign up prior to.  If your swimmer is on a relay and fails to return for the relay, and their absence causes the relay to scratch, the swimmer will be charged the $20 no show fee along with the relay fee.
• If your swimmer is outside of the alternate positions (9/10 for A final only, 17/18 for B final events) and is not on a relay, please double check with your coach before leaving for the day.  Coaches need to scratch up to 16th place for A final events, 24th place for B final events in order to not be charged if your swimmer is to move up into finals/alternate position.
• If your swimmer opts out of relays before the meet, they will also opt out of any individual finals unless under direction of their coach

Other Notes:

• Deck chairs are recommended for swimmers.  Please note the deck also does flood during warm up so be prepared!
• We will be doing activation outside so dress accordingly.
• All swimmers need to be wearing their SKSC t-shirt or sweatshirt while on deck and your SKSC cap while racing. 
• Swimmers are required to attend warmups and all of their races, and are allowed to leave when they finish their last race of a session.  Double check with your coach before you leave.
• Don't forget water bottles, healthy snacks/food, and extra clothes and towels.
• Coaches are not responsible for watching swimmers between heats and finals
• Paid parking for $4 all day Friday/Saturday just max out the time.  Additional parking available across the street at City Hall on Saturday/Sunday.  Sunday parking is free.

For Parents:

• From Meet Management - Due to facility limits of maximum capacity, there is unfortunately no capacity for any spectators in prelims, only during distance and finals. For finals, parents are asked to rotate on and off deck for their swimmer’s events.
• Parents are responsible for their swimmer between sessions.
• VOLUNTEERS: they are looking for volunteers throughout the meet, especially Friday prelims and distance.  Anyone wanting to volunteer can check in at the volunteer sign in desk in the front lobby during the beginning of the warm up to see if positions are needed.
