How long are the meets?
The average swim meet lasts three and a half (3.5) hours. Each week the meets will begin at 6:00 pm. This is contingent upon factors such as weather, size of the opposing team and general flow of the meet.
The 5-6 age group only has events in the first half of each meet; therefore, they will be able to leave after that time. Generally the first half of the meet runs from 6:00 - 8:00. The second half ends around 9:30 or sometimes later. All swimmers 7 and up swim in the both halves of the meet.
It’s very important that your child be at the warm-up period prior to the meet (5:00 p.m. for both home and away meets). Swimmers should report to a designated bullpen area upon arrival and checkin with the volunteer working the meet.
