Meets
Our handful of competitions each season are the heart of the Seal experience and the most fun thing about the team. Meets are held on Saturday mornings and begin rather early. They are a chance for each swimmer to compete against their best time and try to achieve a new personal record. Meets are also a chance for swimmers and parents to support their team mates and show the rest of the league the legendary Strawberry Seal spirit.
Meet Attendance
Meet Attendance is required of every Seal swimmer young and old. The importance of having our entire team present can not be stressed enough as having all the swimmers and the energy they bring to the competition allow us to achieve the greatest results. If for some reason a swimmer can not attend any given meet I need to know as soon as possible – at the latest, the Tuesday before the competition. Unannounced absences at swim meets are unacceptable because every swimmer is important to our team’s success.
Finally, what to do with your kids while at the meet? As many of you know these are long affairs with significant down time between the races each child swims. In order to keep your kids fresh and ready for their next race, please keep them well hydrated and well fed. Please, please, please do not allow junk food (candy, sweets, donuts, etc) until after they have finished all their events. Also, make sure they do eat some real food when they have a long enough amount of time between races. If it is a hot day do your best to keep them in the shade with sunscreen. If is a cold day, please keep those little fellas warm – parkas shoes and even sleeping bags are great for the morning. Lastly, no matter what age your children are help us out by making sure they are there with plenty of time behind the blocks when it is their event. Nothing worse than missing an event.
If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them.
