  • LOCKER ROOMS / RESTROOMS:  Due to new Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy updates, all locker rooms that are adjacent to both the Competition pool and Legacy pools will be ATHLETE ONLY.  Coaches, Officials, and Spectators will use the concourse bathrooms, the family restrooms, and the Legacy pool lobby bathrooms.  Please ask your athletes to only use the Locker rooms for all of their needs.
  • TENT VILLAGE:  We have a large tent “village” set up behind the Legacy pool for athlete and spectator seating.  The tents are equipped with numerous fans that MUST NOT BE MOVED.  The area is grassy and we have had some rain, so if you would like to bring tarps to lay down you can.  However, PLEASE REMIND PARENTS TO BE NICE, WORK TOGETHER (EVEN WITH PARENTS FROM OTHER TEAMS), AND BE EFFICIENT WITH THE SPACE THAT THEY USE!  Folding and camp chairs are welcome in this area, as well as coolers.  We also ask that parents, not set up their own tents in that area.

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 on the Huntsville Swim Association website) This will enable the swimmer to determine if he/she is in the correct place.
  • The top 8 swimmers for 11-12 & 13-14 and the top 24 swimmers in the Senior age group have finals in the evening- Please see the Expected Protocol for ALL families participating in PRELIMS / FINALS meets- page 17-18 in the Team Handbook
  • 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.
  • For more detailed information regarding attending swim meets please see the following pages in your team handbook: page 15- Swim Meet Policies, pages 16-18- Competitions, and page 1819- Meet Entries. (Baylor Swim Club Team Handbook: 2021-2022 Season)
