Each week, we will send out a Google Form that you must fill out to sign up for the meet.
We ask EVERYONE to fill out the form - whether you are swimming in the meet or not.
We understand things happen and summer has lot of events going on. Should you not be able to attend a meet. Fill out the Google Form for that week and mark "No" for all of the events.
Don't miss Conference though! Seriously...
For Home meets:
You will be emailed a "HEAT SHEET" that will list all of the event and heats in chronological order. You can find your swimmer's name and corresponding event #, heat # and lane #.
You can also use an app called "MEET MOBILE" (this app costs $$). This app will also display the same information. Additionally, you will be able to see PRELIMINARY results, and possibly team scores.
For Away Meets:
You will either be emailed the "HEAT SHEET" ahead of time, or one will be available for purchase at the meet.
The "HEAT SHEET" is listed chronologically. Although we try to stay on schedule, things happen that slow down meets. You can use the times provided on the heat sheet and the ORDER OF EVENTS to estimate what time the event will take place, based on the start time of 6:00pm.
Swimmers should bring:
Suits, Caps, Goggles, Towels.
Chairs or Blankets.
Warm, dry Clothes.
Something to do between events
Parents should bring:
Chairs
Tents (if desired)
Sunscreen
Money for food trucks/concessions
Snacks / Drinks of their Choice
Sharpie to write down events/heats/lanes
The MOWSC Conference Championship Meet is held during the second weekend in July.
Everyone on the team can swim in the Conference Meet, provided they have swam in 2 meets and 4 events. (6 & Unders DO NOT have to follow the 2/4 rule.)
Like our Dual Meets on Wednesdays, Conference is age-grouped: 6 & Under, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15 & Up.
Conference is a two-day meet. On day 1, everyone swims their events. On day 2, the top 18 swimmers from day 1 in each event will return and swim those events again. Relays will also be swum on day 2.
NO! Conference is just our big meet at the end of the season. WE EXPECT YOU TO BE THERE. It is part of the commitment to being on the team! We actually host this meet every three years!
Conference is the second weekend in July.
Our volunteer coordinator will send out sign- ups for meets. There will be a separate sign up for Conference.
Currently the volunteer requirements are 2.5 meets and Conference Weekend.
Currently, the volunteer requirement is: Two and a half dual meets AND the Man-O-War Swim Conference. This requirement can be completed by anyone your family designates. The fee to skip all volunteer requirements for the season is $200.
