Meets
What is a swim meet?
Swim meets are organized events where our swimmers compete against swimmers from one or more teams. These occur in the evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays (except Champs).
What is Champs?
"Champs" is the term we use to refer to the SOSL Championships held at the end of the season each year. This is a major swim meet where all of the teams in our league come together to see who is the best of the best. The only qualification to enter into Champs is to have completed each event you want to enter at least once during the season. There are no cutoff times, and Champs definitely has the vibe of a large party. It's a lot of fun for everyone, and it's also very long. Most families bring a canopy or tent along with camping furniture, snacks, and games.
What can I expect during a swim meet?
Swim meets are a lot of activity and a lot of camaraderie! They consist of up to 80 events of varying distance and stroke/technique, including relays, broken down by age group. Since this is a purely volunteer league, we rely on our families to provide volunteers to help run our meets. Home meets naturally require more volunteers than our away meets, but we definitely need everybody to help out! There are always snacks available, but many people bring their own food and drinks (subject to pool rules).
