Highland Pointe Piranhas

What to Bring

• Team swimsuit, cap, goggles (an extra pair of goggles is a good idea!), team tshirt, towel, and sunscreen. Make sure all items are well labeled with your child's name.
• Plenty of snacks and drinks to keep your swimmer hydrated and energized.
• Games for your child for time in between meets. (travel games, books, ds etc)
• Folding camp chairs to sit on, and a canopy for shade if you have one.
• Event reports/heat sheets printed from the website, and a black sharpie marker for marking up your child

For our first time swimmers/parents, here is a guide to events and Arm Markings:

• 25 Free = 1 lap of Freestyle
• 50 Free = 2 laps of Freestyle, etc.
• MED Relay (Medley Relay) - 4 swimmers, with each swimming a lap of a stroke in the following order: 1st, backstroke; 2nd, breaststroke; 3rd, butterfly; and 4th, freestyle. 2nd and 4th swimmer start in shallow end.
• IM - Individual Medley (all four strokes together in order Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Freestyle)
• There are 86 events in a meet. About half way through (event 45), we will switch to the 2nd half volunteers.
