Swimmer Declarations for Meets

Reminder that you must declare your swimmer is attending a meet by the Friday night deadline. If there is no response for your swimmer in the Swimtopia signup, we will assume your swimmer is NOT participating and will NOT include them in the meet lineup. The meet signups are separate from the job signups in Swimtopia. Please make sure you are making updates to both sections for each meet.

You can use the declaration section to indicate if your child is available for either relay. You can also add notes to this signup to indicate event preferences for your child. Please remember that these are preferences only - coaches decide the lineups for each swimmer, and they are trying to give children experience in ALL strokes. This includes butterfly. Emailing the team on the day of the meet to change your child's events is not good practice and causes extra work for our volunteers. Please support your swimmers in learning how to challenge themselves, get out of their comfort zone, and trust their coaches.

Volunteers Needed!

We still have a few jobs open at next week’s away meet. Please try to sign up for your family’s minimum of 3 jobs as soon as possible. If you need help or have questions about volunteer signups, please email us at [email protected] .

Our next Meet - Tuesday June 17th AWAY at Wellsley

We will send out a separate email with location, arrival times, and more specific details by Sunday.

• Sign up your child or decline by today, Friday June 13th at 11:30pm.
• Bring goggles, refillable water bottle, sunscreen, towels, black swimsuit with Anacondas logo, food or money for concessions, a towel or small chair to sit
• Write the swimmer name on their upper right back with Sharpie marker. We will have markers at Volunteer Check-in also.
• Supervise your swimmer to ensure they are being safe and respectful throughout the entire meet.
• Swimmers should stay near their age group tent area as much as possible. Have your child communicate with their kid pusher if they need to leave their tent area so your swimmer doesn’t miss their time to swim. Remember that volunteers have limited ability to find swimmers who are not staying in their designated areas.
• Ensure your child cleans their space and gathers their belongings before leaving.

• Friday June 20th 11:30pm - Deadline for signing up for the June 24th meet
