Entries Due: Tuesday 5/17/2016 @ 5:00pm

Location: Lost Creek Country Club, 2612 Lost Creek Blvd, Austin, TX (https://goo.gl/maps/Ki177jZ2JBH2)

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.

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, swimmers will likely be seated in the grassy area to the right of the pool when you come in the gate. 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.

Directions & Parking:

Located at Lost Creek Country Club Pool (https://goo.gl/maps/Ki177jZ2JBH2).

What to bring:

• Water bottle
• Wear team suit, t-shirt and cap
• Goggles
• Towel
• Sunscreen
• Activities for in between races (books, games, etc.)
• Healthy snacks
• Money for concessions
• Blanket/Extra Towel, if desired (great for the tennis court!)
• Please do not bring glass containers.

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 food items, snacks and beverages. They accept cash. In the past they have had burgers and some buffet.

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:

There are no qualifying times for this event. There are two special meets this season that have qualifying times:

• This is the LAST MEET to earn a time for an event.  The Medal meet requires a time to swim an event.
• The Medal Meet (medals instead of ribbons!) requires a valid entry time from this season to swim an event. Make sure your child plans ahead to swim in this meet!
• The All Star Invitational has minimum time standards to attend the meet! The time standards are based on roughly the top 24 kids in the league. Its a pretty cool honor to make it!

Timeline:

The timeline will be published the day before the meet. Timelines are ESTIMATES and not guaranteed. Some meets run well and some meets do not, please stay flexible! We expect most meets will will just under 4 hours. Actual time will depend on the number of swimmers from each team.

Results:

Results will be posed by the restrooms on the pool deck as events complete. They will be made available online at the completion of the entire meet.

Meet Mobile:

Meet heat sheet information is available in meet mobile (iPhone and Android) for free. Meet results will be available as possible, but requires a monthly fee. The team does not receive any money from Meet Mobile, results are made available as a convenience. Meet mobile results are not to be considered final. For example, times may show up in Meet Mobile before DQs are entered.

Awards:

• Ribbons will be awarded to 1st through 6th place finishers in individual and relay events. Ribbons will be distributed at practice on Monday following the meet.
• Heat winners ribbons will be awarded for individual events at the meet. There will be NO heat winner ribbons for relay events.

The ready bench can be reached by walking along the tennis courts and past the sports center and then to the right toward the baby pool; there is no need for swimmers to cross the parking area. We will provide your team with a large cooler filled with water, cups and several trash cans. We appreciate your team members leaving the area as clean as you found it when you arrived!

The Austin Country Club pool is a 25 meter pool (SCM). This means the pool is approximately 2.3 yards longer than the BCW pool. The entry times you see have automatically been converted from 25 yard (SCY) times if you see an * next to the time. This is why the times may be greater than your swimmers personal best time.
