During the swim season, there is a practice meet (time trials), five dual meets, one divisional meet and several invitational meets (voluntary meets for qualified swimmers). All required team meets are held on Saturday mornings.

Meet attendance is a responsibility that comes with being on the team. All swimmers are encouraged to attend all meets. Swim meets are a great way to measure improvement and strive to reach goals. Awards at the end of the season will be given to those swimmers that have attended at least TWO DUAL SWIM MEETS.

Swimmer Attendance Declaration
From Sunday 6:00 pm until Tuesday Midnight

Our web platform allows families more access to their swimmers’ times, and helps track swimmer development. After logging in, you will be able to view all swim meets, events, and times for your swimmer. 

For every meet you must declare attendance through this website (SwimTopia): 

• For Dual Meets and the Divisional Meet the deadline is the prior Tuesday at midnight.
• For Invitational Meets, we'll inform you the meet entry deadline upon  the meet host releases the announcement. 

You should also indicate us when your swimmer is not able to participate in a meet for whatever reason (declare Not Attending via the website).  If you know your swimmer will miss a swim meet, it is your responsibility to let us know via the web site by Tuesday night at midnight. 

Swimmer Check-in
The meet day from 6:45 to 7:15 am

Swim meets start at 8:30 a.m. and end around 3:00 p.m. Swimmers must check in for each meet at the check-in table between the times of 6:45 and 7:15 am. IF the swimmer isn't at the table or checked in after 7:15 am, the swimmer will not be able to participate in the meet. Please be prompt for all swim meets. If you are not checked in by the time the attendance sheets go to the coaches for the scratch meeting, your swimmer will not swim that day!

If your child is sick on the day of a swim meet, please call or text your coach and/or a board member and/or someone that can let the meet administration know. All swimmers that declared attending a meet will be scheduled to swim that meet unless we are otherwise notified.

10 & Under Swimmer Tents
These tents are only for swimmers and the respective tent parents

The TENT PARENTS have the important role of keeping the communication open between our youngest swimmers, coaches and the clerk of course during the meets.

Tent Parents are assigned to a specific age group and to either boys or girls.  Each swimmer is responsible for checking in with and remaining accessible to their age-group coordinator throughout the meet.  This is mandatory for all swimmers 10 and Under.

Parents must not set up at the swimmers tents (no chairs, no coolers, no lounges). If you are not a Tent Parent, we'll kindly request you to move your chairs, coolers, wagons, etc to another place in the setup area

Swim Suits and Caps

Each swimmer must wear an official Shockwaves team suit (or SOLID black suit with no other logo or team name) and a Shockwaves swim cap (or no cap) for ALL Dual and Invitational meets. Swimmers will not be permitted to swim with any other suit or cap.
