Championship Information:

For championships, the older swimmers will be warming up at the Evendale pool, and parking may be tight when they arrive at Springdale, so please consider carpools. Make sure you allow time as the drop-off entrance this year is a bit further from our tent.

Also, this year the entrance fee for spectators (including volunteers) is $5/session. If you have swimmers in both Monday morning and afternoon sessions, you can pay $8 for the full-day pass. This is cash only (with an option to Zelle if needed). Heat sheets will not be sold by the league as the heat sheet will be in Swimtopia.

Coaches will be in the tent. Please do not send your 10 and under swimmers directly to clerk of course for their events. The coaches will collect the 10 and under swimmers and walk with them to clerk of course. Please stay in the tent so your swimmers can easily be found. The coaches will announce when to go for the older swimmers.

• Be PATIENT! It will be hot, the walk to the tent will be longer than in the past, and it will be crowded! Let’s do our best to make this a positive experience for all.
• 8 & Under free relays will be posted at the Pasta Party tonight. All other relays will be decided after swims on Monday (including 8 & Under medley relay) and will be sent in an email late Monday evening. It may be really late. In past years they have been sent as late as 3:40 am Tuesday morning.
• In the Monday afternoon session we may have “flyover” starts. This means that when a race is over, all swimmers stay in the water near the wall while the swimmers for the next race get on the blocks and dive in over the swimmer that just completed their race. Once the next race has begun, the swimmers that just completed their race exit the pool. Obviously, this is for all strokes except backstroke. For backstroke, swimmers stay in the pool until all swimmers have completed the race, then exit the pool.
• SUNSCREEN and stay out of the sun as much as possible!
• BUG SPRAY
• Please be courteous in the team area. We have a lot of swimmers plus their families (and coolers, bags, towels) and we need to make sure everyone fits in the shade.
• Stay hydrated. This definitely goes without saying but make sure everyone stays hydrated. Spray bottles filled with cold water are very helpful in staying cool.
• PLEASE do not leave the meet Monday morning until you have checked in with Coach Debbie!
• 6 and Unders only swim on Monday unless they are selected for a Tuesday relay. Their races are timed final events and may earn points based on placing. The rest of the age groups swim to qualify during Monday prelims. If they qualify, they swim finals on Tuesday and earn points based on placing at finals. All relays are Tuesday, except the 8 under free relay which is on Monday.
• Finals qualifiers – the top 12 swimmers in each event plus two alternates qualify for finals. The six fastest swimmers swim in the championship heat (places 1-6) in heat two and the next six fastest swimmers will swim in the consolation heat (places 7-12) in heat one. Alternates can only swim in the consolation heat.
• Make sure you check the results before leaving Monday to see if your swimmer(s) qualified to swim on Tuesday. Even if you thought your swimmers finished outside the top 14 in a prelim event, there is a chance someone ahead of them scratched.
• There will be a gate admission of $5 per person, per session. Children 4 and under, league swimmers, officials, and coaches get in free…everyone else (including volunteers/workers) will be charged admission.
• Volunteers – make sure you know your scheduled time and sign-in location.
• Championships is a much longer meet than a normal meet so consider bringing card games, small crafts, books and make sure everything is labeled!
• An extra pair of goggles is never a bad idea but if you find yourself without a spare, Swimville USA will have a tent set up on Monday for all of your last-minute swimming needs.
• Attire: No tie suits, no swim shirts, no zipper suits, no caps for other teams, no watches
• TECH SUITS – This meet will be following USA Swimming rules for suits. Swimmers 12-and-under are NOT allowed to wear USA Swimming’s definition of a “tech suit.” A “tech suit” has bonded seams (not stitched seams) and extends past the hips. Here is a great video explaining tech suits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XYSz8qWUOU
