Baylor cap (RED BAYLOR CAPS ONLY), Arena team suit, goggles, two towels, any Baylor t-shirt (new registration t-shirts are not available quite yet), sweatshirt/pants, activities, water bottle, and healthy snacks. Please be sure to wear some warm clothing before and after you swim, this includes socks and or shoes to keep your feet warm.

Here are some Important Things to Remember About Going to a Swim Meet

  • Prior to the beginning of the meet, ALL parents should write the events the child will be swimming on the child’s arm. This should include event #, heat #, and lane #. (This information can be found by accessing a heat sheet, which is posted at a link above) This will enable the swimmer to determine if he/she is in the correct place.
  • All Baylor swimmers will be sitting together in a designated area. All swimmers must remain in that area while they are not swimming an event.
  • Clerk of Course there will be some parent volunteers on the deck to make sure athletes get to the blocks for their races
  • Immediately before and after each race, your child should see the coaching staff to get feedback on their performance. This is the best time for the child to get a clear understanding of what things they did well, and what they still need to work on.
  • Parents, please remember that the coaches are not responsible for getting swimmers to the blocks for their race. The coaches need to make sure they watch every child’s race. Go out and have fun, and swim your best.
  • All parents must remain off the pool deck and in the stands above the pool during the swim meet. The pool is reserved for swimmers, meet officials, and meet volunteers ONLY.
  • PLEASE REMEMBER: We are not all about awards and time standards. Your child may not always have a best time or get an award, but they may do other things that the coaching staff and the swimmer should be proud of.
