PSW  Fall Inv

  Itinerary & Updates  October 2026

 

With our first meet in the books, it’s time to build on everything we’ve learned. Second meets are where the real growth starts to show—taking those adjustments from practice and putting them right into your races.

Use this meet to:

• Challenge yourself: Target a race execution detail you've been working on (pacing, underwaters, fast turns).
• Track your progress: Use your times from Meet #1 as a benchmark to beat.
• Bring the energy: Keep supporting your teammates on the deck from start to finish!

Here is everything you need to know to be race-ready:

Quick Reminders:

• Meet Date: Oct 17/18, 2026
• Location: Grandview 
• Meet Package: Full meet Package is available on club website

 

Meet Start Times (And Estimated Finish Time)

 

Note: for the am sessions, first warm up groups start at 7:00AM for those looking for spectator space and easier parking.  Coaches may instruct your swimmer to come back later for the Sat PM session if they are in the last event in the AM.  Please arrive at the time listed unless instructed otherwise.

 

What to Bring:

• Team Gear: Wear your team cap and team shirt with pride! Bring a couple of extra towels and a warm deck coat or parka to stay warm between events.
• Fuel & Hydration: Pack plenty of water/electrolytes and healthy, easily digestible snacks (fruits, granola bars, bagels) to keep your energy high.  Reminder: No glass bottles or containers in the building.  Pack a lunch
• Positive Energy: Bring your loudest cheering voice! We are one team, and supporting your teammates behind the lanes is just as important as your own races.

 

Reminders:

• Pre/Post Race Talks: Make sure to talk with coaches before and after all races.
• Warm down: Make sure to warm down after races, especially the last one of the session
• Check In before leaving: check in with coaches after your last race of a session for any updates.
• Backstroke Ledge - attached is a video on how to use the backstroke wedges, please review!

 

Goals for the Weekend:

1. Focus on the Process: Don't stress about the clock. Focus on sharp turns, strong finishes, and executing what we’ve been practicing.  The second half of the race is more important than the first half! 
2. Support the Team: Cheer for every heat, and celebrate each other's efforts.
3. Have Fun: Enjoy the excitement, the team spirit, and the rush of being back on the blocks!
4. Get Feedback:  Talk to your Coaches and get feedback on what you can improve over the next several workouts

 

Notes for Parents

• They have not reached out regarding needing volunteers, but you can always check in with the clerk at the start of warm ups.
• Spectator space is limited.  They ask that parents not spectate from the lobby.  No parents are allowed on deck unless volunteering.
• If pool parking lot is full, you can park at the nearby high school
