 HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMERS: If you are a high school swimmer in season, you need to be UNATTACHED from this meet. It is your responsibility to unattach from this meet. UNATTACHED SWIMMERS MAY NOT SWIM ON RELAY TEAMS.

Who should attend this meet?  All EBAT swimmers.  Use the "Attend this Event" button above to indicate if you will be or not be attending this event. Please indicate which days you are swimming.

  • Please remember to use this "Attend this Event" feature only after you have either mailed in your meet entries with payment or registered online using the swim meet online entry services as indicated on the meet sheet. 
  • The team does not send in your entries or pay for your entries (except for relays). As always please see the meet sheet to see the two ways you can enter the meet.

 

Swim Gear
Please bring extra towels and clothes. The mornings will be cold so the kids will appreciate having extra dry towels after their morning warm up and after each event.  Please have extra warm clothes and warm boots or shoes.  It will be too cold to wear sandals all day.  Remember, a happy swimmer is not a cold or freezing swimmer.  Also, you will not have to fork out extra money at the swim shop to buy clothes or towels.  Also have your swimmer double check their gear before you leave home.  Again, you will not have to rush home to get the missing gear and/or have to purchase new gear. 

Potluck 
We will have a morning potluck on Saturday and Sunday so please bring healthy food items to share.  Do not bring junk food.  i.e. donuts, candies, sugar snacks, etc....  If you bring them, do not share them until after the meet.

LANE LINE TIMING SIGN UPS
The EBAT lane line timing sign up sheet will be made available in the morning for each day of the meet. There are no advance sign-ups because kids do get sick the day of the meet, then we are scrambling for timers to take those emptly slots.  When you get to the meet and are all settled in, it is your responsibility to sign up for timing.  If you know your child is swimming later in the day please sign up for a later timing shift. If you know your child will be swiiming only one on two of the early events please sign up for an early shift. 
 
REMEMBER, it is mandatory for all families to time. For those families who don’t attend the meet, but do send their child to the meet, it is your responsibility to have someone time for your child during the day they compete at the meet.  You can ask one of your fellow families, friends, or relatives to time for your child.  AGAIN, you will need to make arrangements for someone to time for your child if you do not attend the meet yourself. Creative things done in the past, hire someone to time for you ($10.00 an hour sounds about right). Ask fellow team families to cover for you and then you can return the same at the next meet. Ask one of your family members or friends to come support your child by coming to the meet to watch them and to time for them. 
  
Canopies: We will also need several parents to help transport our teams 6 canopies and canopy sides to the meet.  If you are able to help transport canopies and sides, please pick one up by Thursday or Friday during practice. Please try you best to help out with transporting our team canopies as it is not fair for the same parents to take the canopies to and from the meet every swim meet. We should be sharing the task of transporting, setting up, and taking down the canopies as we all use them.  Even if you volunteer do it 2 or 3 times a year, it is a huge help. If you feel you cannot physically carry the canopy, don’t worry, we have swimmers and parents who can transport the canopy to and from your vehicle.  For those parents who own their own canopies, please bring them to the meet.
