A couple notes about champs. You will swim with your age group and prelims are only individual events (no relays). AM session is 11 and up (11-12, 13-14, 15-18) and PM session (8 and under, 9-10). There is no 6 and under category. All 6 and 7 yr olds will swim in the 8 and under. I've gotten a few questions.

Admissions - unless you are an official, sponsor, vendor, coach, swimmer, or team rep, you will have to pay to get in. Admissions for champs is controlled by the league and all of the money goes back to the league.

If your swimmer misses their event, there is no ability to make it up.

How you can help?

First, everyone that has qualified for champs should have the option to declare on the Swim Champs meet. We need everyone to do this by Friday. For those that need this as a second meet, they option will open on Friday. Coach Meghan has to submit all entries for Champs by noon on Saturday which means that she has to do this Friday night. No excuses!

Second from a volunteer perspective.

Grillers - we need some grillers for the Prelims sessions on Tuesday. It's during the day so I know its time off, but it's our opportunity to sell as much as we can to make $. Wednesday it is covered.

Runners - we will need two for each session - one that is collecting DQ, timers sheets, and then one that is posting results from the sessions on the Results board. We will be using timing equipment, but collecting DQ slips is huge it will impact results.

Timers - we have to provide two for each session in prelims and then 2 for 1st and 2nd half at Champs

Clerk of Course - we will have two. Ideally, this is making sure we are good to go on the with all of the kids at the course and having one to be able to make sure we get our kids to the blocks.

Age Group Parents - This is more important for the prelims for the younger kids. We will have tents for the PM sessions for the age groups. Champs will be based upon who makes it.

Shark Bites Concession Workers - anyone that can help Tuesday and Wednesday as this is where we make the most $ for the club at champs.

Sign-ups are open for Champs but this is where we need to help.
