USA Swim Meet Reminders & Tips
- You will need to pay per event for your athlete (typically $10/event). Coach will assist in determining which event(s) your swimmer should enter. NSD will make payment to the hosting team, then request your reimbursement.
- You will be responsible for traveling to these venues with your athlete. Arrive early and expect a 3-4 hour period each day, as applicable. Most USA meets span Friday through Sunday. Most have concessions and/or food truck(s).
- Athletes will be on the pool deck with our USA Coach. ONLY swimmers, coaches, and officials are permitted on deck. Parents will observe from the stands. Plan accordingly and pack everything your swimmer may need ahead of time (extra goggles and swim cap, snacks and water, games, sharpie, etc.).
- There is downtime between athlete’s events. Some athletes bring games (cards, chess, balls, etc.) to play with their friends. Swim meets are fun!
- Athletes are responsible for being behind their assigned lane before their event! Coach will help, but this is a great opportunity for them to pay attention to the scoreboard and know when their event is about to start. https://nsd.swimtopia.com/swim-meet-101 for valuable E/H/L help.
- Parents may take pictures/video from the sides of the pool, but not the ends of the pool, due to Safe Sport restrictions.
