Good Morning,

Swim meet declarations are open for all of our of swim meets this season. Declarations are a way to let us know if your swimmer(s) will attend the swim meet and to sign up for their individual events. Swimmers can swim up to three individual events and two relays per swim meet. Coaches set the relays. Our goal is that each swimmer swims at least one relay each swim meet. If you are unsure about which individual events to choose, you can find a coach to discuss at the next practice or leave us a note on the declaration page. We have worked on freestyle and backstroke so far. 

Declarations close the Sunday before each swim meet with the exception of our one Thursday swim meet. Those entries will close on Tuesday evening. The declaration period for our first swim meet on June 3rd will close this coming Sunday, June 1st at 5:00pm. No late entries will be allowed.

If you declare yes and your swimmer must miss the meet, please, let up know ASAP so that we can reset our relay line up. If is very difficult to find replacements for the relays during the meet. It often results in the relay having to scratch and three swimmers (and their families) being disappointed.

Attached is a step-by-step guide to declaring your swimmers. There is some great swim meet info on the swim meet 101 page on our website. Found here: https://westport.swimtopia.com/swim-meet-101

Please reach out at [email protected] with any questions or find me on deck!

Coach Sara will be reaching out to families who have not signed up for the two required volunteer shifts this season to get you signed up so your swimmer can swim in the meet. 

Coach Kim
