Swim Meets

Swim Meets

Swim meets are fun and rewarding! Meets are where all the dedication and hard work pay off.  Swimmers learn quickly about self motivation and goal setting.  The sport of swimming teaches dedication and discipline through the rewards that students receive when they improve upon their own best times.  As we all know improvement in life comes from hard work and trying your best! As swimmers become friends the social aspect of attending a meet is just as fun and rewarding as competing against the clock.

The meets are divided into three categories, which are clearly marked on the meet schedule. There are a few meets per year that we encourage all swimmers to be a part of so that everyone experiences the fun and rewarding  team part of swimming. More information on swim meets can be found in the new swimmer information packet.

Families may choose to attend just one day of a meet (except for meets in BLUE – where we want everyone to support the “team” aspect of a meet), in order to keep the travel costs low.

Barracudas host three meets per year: Apple Capital in June, AB Championships in July and Christmas Invite in December.  Our swim team has a reputation for organizing fun, successful meets.  We are proud of our accomplishments when it comes to running meets.  To continue our tradition of success we need the help of all parents.  Please review the Meet Committee job descriptions to see how you could help.

How to Enter A Swim Meet

Email Coach Bob or fill out the meet entry form with the days you are planning on attending and what events your child would like to swim , or you can just  let Coach Bob choose the events.

Simply, verbally telling Coach Bob that you intend to swim in a meet is not sufficient.  Meet entries must be received in writing either via e-mail or letter. There is a receptacle at the EYAC pool for meet entry letters.
