  Itinerary & Updates  October 2026

 

Ready to race? Our first swim meet is here!  The wait is officially over - our very first swim meet of the season is right around the corner.  This first meet is your chance to step up on the blocks, race hard, and set the baseline for what is going to be an incredible season.  Here is everything you need to know to be ready to shine:

Quick Reminders:

• Meet Date: Oct 3, 2026
• Location: Chilliwack Landing Centre (9145 Corbould St #1, Chilliwack, BC)
• Meet Package: Full meet Package is available on club website
• Travel Time: Please allow time for travel and arrive on time for meet activation 

 

Meet Start Times (And Estimated Finish Time)

• Meet Start:  10:00am

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.
  • If you need a cap please contact Coach Josh before Friday, Oct 2.  We will finally get them in on Thursday!
• 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
• 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.

 

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

 

Volunteering: Officials needed 

Spartans, the host club, are really looking for some key officials. If you are able to do the following please email a_howie56@hotmail.com

• Starter
• Chief Timer
• Stroke Judge

Don't forget to fill out the non-SKSC hosted event form too afterwards.  Great opportunity if you have just done the clinics and are new to the positions.  If you can do a timer or turn judge you can also email, but these are the roles they really need.

See you on the pool deck and good luck!
