This December, we will be participating in the CSP Swim Your Own Age meet and the HEAT Last Meet of the Year.
The CSP event is scheduled for December 7.
The HEAT meet is scheduled for December 13 and December 14.
Please check with the Ozark Calendar website
http://www.ozarkswimming.org/calendar.htm for meet start times and locations. I also will post an announcement at the Nat.
For those of you new to the club, you should, a few days before the meet, receive a list of events your child is signed up to swim. You'll get that from Coach Jon Lane. This will tell you which events your child is swimming. At the actual meet you'll need to purchase a meet sheet or refer to the sheets posted on the walls, so that you'll know the event number that your child is swimming. Some swimmers write the event numbers on their arms with a Sharpie. Then, when the event is called your child will go to the designated "bull pen" area and be directed by a volunteer to the starting blocks. All the experienced parents are more than willing to help. That's how my family made it through my son's first meet!
Swim attire must be non-transparent. Also, a new ruling requires that meet swimsuits for ages 12&U cannot cover neck, arms below shoulders, or below knees. This formally applies even to floppy Bermuda or "board" style shorts.
Swim caps are optional.
Happy Swimming!
