PLEASE plan on arriving early to find the location, a parking space and make your way to the pool.

Schedule: Warm-ups @ 7:30am, Meet start @ 8:00am

Entries Due: Wednesday 6/14/2017 @ 5:00pm

Location: Lake Hills pool - Edgewater Dr, Austin, TX 78733

Response REQUIRED: If you are unable to attend a meet, please mark your swimmer as not attending so we don't keep trying to contact you to verify your swim status for the meet.

NOTE: This is our last regular meet. Next week will be the Medal meet. A swimmer MUST have a valid time from a successful swim in an event to swim in the medal meet. I don't want anyone surprised when signing up for the medal meet. I also like to point out, a valid time doesn't have to win the race. Getting to the other side of the pool with a legal swim is job #1 :)

All Star Individual Events - kids may still qualify at the Medal meet for All star individual events. We are allowed to add swimmers that newly qualify.

All Star Invitational Relays - We will be basing our relay lists on times after this meet. We realize folks have to plan for a Monday late afternoon meet, so we will attempt to create the fastest relays based on best times up until this meet.  We may reorder relays after the medal meet, but will keep the invites in place (will adjust for cancellations). swim fast now :)

Arrival:

Plan on arriving 15 minutes prior to warmup (or earlier if required for your volunteer job). Direct your child to the the appropriate age group area to checkin, they are located around the pool deck under the shade structure. Let your child know that they should either be in their age group area, ready bench, or swimming. They should let the age group parent know if they need to use the restroom or get something from concessions. If they wonder off, they may miss their event. Age Group Parents cannot leave their group to hunt down a missing child, please ask your child to stay around.

Away meet - additional information will be posted as it is available from the hosting team.

Schedule: Warm-ups @ 7:00am, Meet start @ 8:00am (completion guesstimate - 12:00noon +/- 15 minutes)

Entries Due: Wednesday 6/7/2017 @ 5:00pm

Location: Barton Creek West Pool

Response REQUIRED: If you are unable to attend a meet, please mark your swimmer as not attending so we don't keep trying to contact you to verify your swim status for the meet.

Looking for more information on how to signup your swimmers for a meet, you can reference the Meet Registration Job Aid or reach out to a board member.

NOTE: We have three swim meets left in the season.  This is our last home meet.  The following meet will be an away meet, and the week after will be our away Medal meet.  A swimmer MUST have a valid time from a successful swim in an event to swim in the medal meet.  I don't want anyone surprised when signing up for the medal meet. I also like to point out, a valid time doesn't have to win the race. Getting to the other side of the pool with a legal swim is job #1 :)

There is also an Westwood All Star Invitational, for kids with qualifying times.  More information will be coming in the next week on this topic.

Parking:

Please park in the parking lot or along Creeks Edge Dr. Do NOT park in the grass between the pool drive and the playscape. There are sprinklers in that area that get broken and we have to replace them. Also, please ensure the driveway remains open for emergency vehicles.

Pre Meet Preparation:

Review the heat sheet and let your child know what events that are signed up to swim. Once the heat sheet is published (typically the day before the meet), the individual events will not change so you may write them on your child's arm/leg if you have time. This will save time for the age group parents. Older kids should start to take responsibility for their events, let them review the heat sheet. Relays may change up until event time if someone is missing, so best to wait until the meet for relays.

Please bring a copy of the heat sheet if you will need it. Ready bench, stroke judge, and Age Group parents will be provided a copy of the heatsheet at the meet.

Concessions:

Concession stand will be open with a selection of snacks and beverages.

• Drinks (water, soft drinks, flavored water, coffee)

• LUNCH ITEMS WILL DEPEND ON MEET TIMELINE. TBD Thursday before meet.

Scratches / Missed Events:

There is no penalty if your child misses an individual event, but please let us know as soon as possible. If they are signed up for a relay, it is important that you let us know so that we may attempt to find a substitute. Please email [email protected] for meet absences. If there is a chance your swimmer may not make the meet, please do not signup for relays. Individual events are OK.

At the meet, if they do accidentally miss their event, please head to the computer table as quickly as possible and we will attempt to accommodate if able.

Deck Entries (Late Entries):

Deck entries will be accepted after the heat sheet is published up until 30 minutes before the meet start. Deck entries on the morning of the meet are discouraged, but will be attempted if the computer desk has time. Deck entries must meet entry limitations and will only be placed in empty lanes. No new heats will be created. If your plans change and you can make the meet, please email [email protected] and we will see if there is a spot.

Entry Limits:

• Swimmers 10&under may swim in up to 3 individual events and up to 2 relays. 3 events are NOT required if your child is not comfortable with the event. Talk to your coach to decide if they are ready.
• Swimmers 11&over may swim in up to 5 individual events and up to 2 relays.

Relays:

• Relays are computer generated, based on swimmer ability with the coaches double checking that the kids can swim the strokes the computer selects. You will have an opportunity to declare your childs availability for relays on the meet signup page. Generally the top 4 swimmers in an age group will swim on the A relay, the next group on the B relay, we will sometimes try to mix the C relay to give more kids a chance at relays. RELAY SPOTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED UNTIL THE EVENT AT THE MEET. LAST MINITE CANCELLATIONS/ILLNESS/ETC MAY HAVE LARGE IMPACT ON RELAYS.

Qualifying Times:

Pool:

The BCW pool is 25 yards (SCY), 6 lanes.

Meet Location: 3808 35th Street, Austin, TX

The All Star Invitational is the championship meet for the Austin Hills Swim League!  It is the only meet of the season that is officially scored.  Last year we came in 3rd place!  To swim in an individual event, your swimmer must have a qualifying time.  The time standards are posted on the schedules page.  The registration page will only let you signup for events that are qualified.

In addition to individual events, the team may enter a single relay per each age group. Relays are important and score big points in swimming.  We will attempt to build the best possible relays we can from the available swimmers.  To be able to fill the relay teams, we will invite "relay only" swimmers.  These are very important spots!  Every last point counts!  Last year we took 3rd place by 4.5 points!  A 6th place relay finish gives us 6 points.  Relays are that important!!!

The meet host charges $7 fee per individual event.  The fee provides a spot in the pool, ribbons, possible trophies, and a cool t-shirt for every participant!  The swimmer will be expected to pay the individual entry fee.  The BCW Barracuda team will pickup the relay entry fees.

Like every other meet of the season, this one requires volunteers to make the meet possible.  We will receive our assignment the week prior to the meet.  We will need help from everyone that attends!  Thank you!

Finally - a note on availability:

• If your planning on attending, mark "Available" (and you may select your events)
• If your Available to swim in a relay, even if not qualified for an individual event, mark "Available"
• If your NOT available (out of town, not around, etc), make "Not Attending"

Marking as Attending does NOT guarantee a spot, nor does it require you to just show up at the meet in case your needed.  We will let everyone know around June 20 if they were selected for a relay.  At that time your committed :)

If your relay number is A-5 or greater (A-1, A-2, A-3, ...), your currently listed as an alternate.  A-1 through A-4 are currently the fastest team (this may change after LP @ BCW and BCW @ LCCC meets, swim fast!!!!).
