Swim Meet Ettiquette



Swimmers

For any swim meet, Swimmers are expected to:

  • Wear the club uniform;

On arrival at a swim meet:

  • Report to the Team Manager on arrival at the pool.
  • Arrive on time for warm up session with the Coach.
  • Be aware of the rules of warm ups (in programs); and,

During the Swim Meet:

  • Talk to the Coach before and after your swim.
  • Remain in the Club area when not marshalling or swimming.

At the end of the swim meet:

  • it is compulsory for all Nightcliff Swimming Club swimmers to stay for the presentation (unless prior approval has been gained from the coach). This rule is important as it fosters team spirit and support for our swimmers.

 

Parents/Carers of Swimmers

At swim meets, Parents are asked to:

  • assist with timekeeping as every club is expected to supply at least 3 timekeepers plus officials for every swim meet. No experience is necessary and it is guaranteed ‘best' seat in the house!
  • seek the advice and assistance from the Team Manager if there is a question or problem;
  • refrain from approaching officials or attending the “officials box” to make any request or complaint – this should be done by the Team Manager;
  • not enter the marshalling area. A parent may, at the request of the Team Manager, be asked to assist in the marshalling of the younger or inexperienced children.
