Meet Attendance and Declaration

Meet Sign-up

We kindly ask all families to sign up their swimmer(s) for each meet on a weekly basis. The process should only take a few minutes and helps us ensure smooth meet planning. Please complete sign-ups in a timely manner before the deadline, as missing the deadline may mean your child is unable to participate.

We will do our best to send out weekly reminders of upcoming meet deadlines, but we appreciate your help in signing up as soon as possible to keep everything running efficiently.

Meet Absences

If your swimmer needs to miss a meet or leave early, please update this information in your online family account as soon as possible. This helps our coaches with planning. If a last-minute change comes up, please send us an email as soon as you can.

If a swimmer is unable to attend or leaves early without notice, it not only affects their individual events but may also impact relays that involve their teammates. Please help us ensure that all swimmers have the best experience possible by keeping us informed of any changes.

Relay Participation
If a swimmer does not provide notice for an absence or early departure, they may not be placed in relays for the next meet. This ensures fairness for all swimmers who are counting on their teammates.

Swimmer Declaration (Attending or Not Attending)

Please confirm your swimmer’s participation no later than 5 days before each YMCA dual meet. For Y Specialty meets, the deadline is usually a week- 2 weeks beforehand. For USA Swimming meets, the deadlines are typically 3 weeks to a month in advance of the meet weekend.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us create a great experience for all swimmers!
