8/Under Greenwich Meet Info

Below is meet info for the 8/Under meet this weekend at the Greenwich YMCA.

According to Coach Mark seating is limited at the Greenwich Y so bringing siblings and friends is not encouraged for this meet. Seating on deck is also limited so swimmers should bring folding chairs.

All Swimmers will swim all four strokes and most swimmers will be participating in a relay. At this meet there is only one type of relay. It is a freestyle relay and will be held at the end of the meet as the last two events. If for any reason you cannot stay through the completion of the meet please let me know ASAP. Remember that parents are not allowed on deck during meets so any information parents need to give to coaches should be delivered before the warm up even begins.

Coaches do not receive the final heat and lane assignments until minutes before the meet begins so as coaches we are not able to give parents any indication when their swimmer will be racing.

As always swimmers should wear their Water Rat gear. We underestimated the popularity of the new Water Wat cap and already ran out. However more have been ordered and should be here by the middle of next week. For now if a swimmer does not have a water rat cap they can wear any red or blue cap. The Red and Blue WRAT caps given out at the red and blue meet are also perfectly fine for competition.
