Meet
Guidelines:
Participation:
Competitions are required.
Cost: A
Meet Fees Escrow Account will be created for
each swimmer starting the day that the swimmer
is registered. $200, per swimmer, will be
collected to fund this account. When the escrow
balance falls to approximately $20 an email
reminder will be sent. Swimmers who do not
replenish their escrow accounts will not be
entered into upcoming meets.
Meet
Entry: Only swimmers who respond, by email
to webmaster@bethpageswimming.com will be
entered in upcoming meets. Please do not
respond verbally or by text message to the
coaches. Respond by dates are shown in the
meet schedule. A reminder email will also
be be sent sometime prior to the response
cut-off day. If the swimmer can only make
a particular day please state that with your
response as well.
Meet Fees: Fees are deducted from the
swimmers' escrow account as soon as meet entries
are accepted by the host club. There are
no refunds for swimmers who are unable to
compete due to illness or other extenuating
circumstances.
Events: Coaches
will choose the appropriate events for the
swimmer and will prepare them for their
races. Swimmers are welcome to discuss
events with their coach. No changes will
be permitted past the response deadline or the
day of the meet.
Day of the
Meet:
Drop off:
Be Punctual! Arrive 15 minutes prior to the posted
warm-up time! Be aware parents
are NOT permitted on the pool deck at any time.
This is a USA Swimming Rule and our team can be
barred from competition for failure to comply.
Events: The
coach will speak to the swimmer prior to the
event to discuss a strategy and send them up to
the appropriate heat/lane. After the race
the coach will discuss the swim. Please
have swimmers check-in/out with coaches.
Roles:
Let the coach do the coaching. As a parent
your role is to support your swimmer and the
coach. We are all on the same team and
want the best for each swimmer. Assist
them with staying positive and refer any
coaching questions to the coach.
Non
negotiable: All coaches, parents, and
swimmers are representatives of BBSC.
Everyone will model our values as a club.
Good sportsmanship is expected.
Attire: Wear
team apparel when on the pool deck. It is
suggested that you bring a change of clothes as
your deck clothes will get wet. Similarly,
bring 2 towels! Team swim caps are a
MUST!!!
Format:
Each session will run a maximum of four hours
(exclusive of a 1 hour warm-up). Swimmers
should know their events prior to the
meet. They are allowed to bring a deck of
cards, book, or something else for them to do
during the meet. Swimmers are NOT to be
wandering around the facility during
meets. They are to remain in the bleachers
with the team.
