NEYS @ Bethlehem, Saturday, 11/15

• Arrive: 10:45 am
• Location: Liberty HS - 1115 Linden Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018
• Arrive: 10:45 am
• I send out the line-up via email the morning of the meet.
• Unless you CANNOT make it because of an emergency, please do not call, text, or email asking for the line-up. If you missed the email, the marshallers will have them, and copies posted on the wall at the meet.

Dual Meet Expectations

• Everyone is expected to stay until the end.
• Dual meets are TEAM events with TEAM scoring.
• *** IF your family must leave early for another obligation, it’s completely understandable and we’d rather you make some of the meet than none of it. IT is a parental decision based upon a family obligation, NOT a swimmer decision.
• Everyone is expected to stay in uniform and keep their team racing suits on until the end. NO CHANGING early.

Common Concerns at Dual Meets: (parent survival guide link)

• Everyone who signed up for a meet on Swimtopia will swim in that meet.
• Each swimmer is in a minimum of two events. The league maximum is 3 official events allowed per meet, per swimmer.
• All swimmers MUST sit together on deck, NOT with parents.
• Exhibition events (“X” on the lineup) count as races, times are official, but they do not score points.
• Ages 10/Under are lined up to swim by the marshallers.
• Ages 11/Above need to look at the line-up posted on the wall each meet.
• If a swimmer visits a parent or goes to the bathroom, they should bring a swim buddy, tell someone they are sitting near, and must be brief.
• Kids may bring cards, books, and electronic devices to keep themselves busy during the meet, and in-between cheering.
• The line-up always changes, and is never set until the morning of the meet.
• Again, only call, text, or email if your swimmer is sick and cannot attend the meet.

See you on deck,
