Meet signups are due no later than 8:00 pm on Sunday prior to the meet. To participate in a meet, each family must have at least 1 parent signed up to volunteer in that meet. Sail does not allow us to add swimmers after this time. Swimmers not signed up by the deadline will NOT be eligible to participate in relays. Each swimmer may swim 3 individual events, and indicate if they will be available for relays. For the first three swim meets swimmers will select 2 individual events, and their coach will advise them what to select for the third.The last two swim meets, swimmers may select all three of their individual events.If you are going to be away please let the coaches by Monday at noon.
The coaches have the authority to submit events for you in your absence, so please notify the coaches of your absence from a swim meet even if you did not sign up.Parents of 8 and unders, please make sure that your child is comfortable in the strokes before you sign them up. All event entries are subject to the approval of the coaching staff.Please be supportive of the coach’s decisions in this area.It is important that swimmers, particularly new swimmers, try different events throughout the season.Every attempt will be made to put the swimmers in the events they desire, but the coaches have the final say when putting swimmers in the events that best suit the swimmers and the team.
Relay teams are formed by the head coach with input from assistant coaches. A swimmer’s time in the given stroke is the primary basis for relay selection (assuming the swimmer meets the minimum practice participation requirement of at least one team practice with Nitro Fish per week, as participation in practice helps in building a strong team with positive inter-relationships).The coach may base “fastest time status” based on “best-ever” times or a swimmers’ most recent times determined from individual events or from splits during relays.Additionally, consistency, improvement of times, and overall ATTITUDE and participation will be considered at the coach’s discretion. The final decision of relay assignments is the authority of the head coach.During the regular season, we try to give an opportunity to swim on a relay to every swimmer who wishes to do so. However, we only field one relay team per age group at Divisionals.These teams are picked on times as well as the swimmers’ ability to work well in a team. Please understand that this can be a difficult decision, and we must balance the needs of the team and the individuals. If you did not sign up for the meet on time, then your child may not be placed in a relay for that week. If you know that you will be arriving late or must leave the meet early, please let the coaches know, so your child is not placed in a relay. Also, please check before you leave a swim meet that your child is not needed for a relay. It is very disappointing to children to be told that their relay will not be swimming because one of their teammates did not show.
Swimmers must participate in at least 2 regular meets to be eligible to swim in Divisionals. Results will be online at Greenvilleonline.com in the SAIL section and is usually available by Friday morning. All swimmers get ribbons that are usually given out the following Monday, at the pool.
