Swimming Suits/Equipment:
Do we
have to buy the team suit?
No, a plain
black suit is fine.

my child have to wear a swim cap?
No,
but if they do it must be a Stingray’s cap or a plain cap (no logos of any
kind)
Does
my child need to wear their team suit to practice?
No, any suit is fine for practice.
Do I
need to buy specific goggles?
Nope. Whatever is comfortable.
Meets:
What
are Time Trials?
It is a mock meet that
we use to both practice running an actual home meet and get times for swimmers
to be properly seeded.
What
happens if my child is sick on the day of the meet?
Please notify the Head Coach so they can adjust
the heat sheet.
What
is my child’s swimmer number and why is it important?
We will give it to you at the Time Trials and
it is used to record your child’s time.
What
if it’s raining? Thundering?
Assume practice/meets are ON unless you hear
otherwise.
What
happens if a meet is cancelled due to weather?
We hold the make up meet on Wednesday instead of Tuesday.

time do we have to be there for a meet?
4:30 PM for a home meet. 5:00 PM
for an away meet.
General:
Do 6
& unders swim
all strokes?

compete in relays.
