What To Expect At Meets...

Athletes & Parents,

Wednesday is our first dual meet against Palmer High School. All athletes participating in the meet will be excused from CHS at 2:45 with the expectation they will arrive and be ready to get in the water at Palmer no later than 3:15. If your daughter does not drive and you are unable to give her a ride to Palmer, we will assign rides on Tuesday at practice to ensure everyone has a ride. If you are NOT comfortable with your daughter riding with a teammate, please let me know via email or text.

The meet will start promptly at 4pm. All dual meets run in the below order:
200 Medley Relay (50 backstroke, 50 breast stroke, 50 butterfly, 50 freestyle)
200 Individual Freestyle
200 Individual Medley (same as relay but one swimmer completes all strokes)
50 Individual Freestyle
BREAK- DIVING (6 dives per individual)
100 Individual Butterfly
100 Individual Freestyle
500 Individual Freestyle
200 Freestyle Relay
100 Individual Backstroke
100 Individual Breast stroke
400 Freestyle Relay
*There will be 2 heats of all above events.

All swimmers are expected to stay until the end of the meet unless they have been excused prior. All athletes are expected to clean up after themselves. We always leave pool & gym areas BETTER than we found them so you MUST pick up after yourself. All athletes are on their own to find a ride home from Palmer HS. If this is an issue, please let me know.

Unfortunately suits are not scheduled to be delivered until Friday so if you have swam for Coronado before, please bring your last year's suit and any prior year suits to loan out if you are comfortable with that. If this is your first year, please try to have a solid color suit, ideally a black or red one. If you expect this to be an issue, please talk to me.

We are a classy team so please keep that in mind. Good sportsmanship is a must. While some teams and athletes may not act accordingly, we choose to be the bigger team and always congratulate our opponents and cheer everyone on. CHOOSE CLASSY!

Last, I can't stress how important it is that an athlete contact me ASAP if they are sick the day of the meet whether that be not attending school at all or leaving school early. YOU MUST LET ME KNOW  so I can make the necessary changes with the meet lineup.

I am more than excited for our first meet. We've been working hard and now it's time to show it. Let's have a great meet!
