Meet Information

Meets held during the week start at 6:00 pm; the swimmers should be ready to warm-up by 5:45 pm. Meets held on Saturday mornings begin at 8:30 am; swimmers should be ready to warm-up at 8:00 am. The meets last approximately two hours. Munchkins swim all meets, home and away, except the three Conference finals.

The day of each meet, Coach Kevin will post the swimmers for the meet on the pool bulletin board. Your child may not swim at every meet, so be sure to read the posting as soon as possible. Relays swim at the end of the individual races.

Coach Kevin needs to know, in writing, the dates that your children will not be available to participate in a swim meet. It is a good idea to provide this information to him at the beginning of the season. Please review the schedule included in this manual and let Coach Kevin know as soon as possible the dates your child is not available. Giving the coach as much notice as possible will ensure that everyone on the team gets the most possible swim time.

After evening home meets, the Club offers a fun family buffet on the lower patio. Charges for these dinners will be reflected on your monthly statements. Many of the other clubs also offer similar arrangements and Forest Hills members are welcome to attend. Your charges at other clubs will be sent back to Forest Hills and appear on your monthly billing statement. Be sure to write Forest Hills on the tickets you sign and neatly print your name and Club number. The attire for the parents at the meets is country club casual.

Every effort is made to swim a meet as scheduled, given the short length of our season. The start of a meet may be delayed but rarely are swim meets canceled. Normally, a meet would only be canceled if lightning was present at the hosting pool. In the event of inclement weather, the coaches will not decide to cancel a meet until 7:00 pm. If a meet has been canceled, an email will be delivered to the entire swim team.

The end-of-season Conference Meets are held the last weekend of the swim team season. There will be extra practices scheduled before the Conference Meets with the final practice culminating in a surprise entrance by Coach Kevin. Be sure to not miss this practice and bring your camera!

The Swim Team Banquet is held at Forest Hills the Wednesday after all the Conference Meets. At the banquet, the coaches will give a presentation and hand out team awards. Following the awards ceremony, there will be dancing and DJ entertainment. This is a fun evening for both parents and children who participated in the Swim Team Program. Be sure to sign up on ForeTees in advance if planning to attend.
