Jefferson Township Torpedoes

1. All meets begin promptly at 6:00 pm.
   Swimmers need to be at HOME meets by 4:30 pm (warm-ups begin @ 5 pm), and AWAY meets by 5:00 pm (warm-ups @ 5:30 pm).
2. Meets are held rain or shine. Every swimmer is expected to be at the meet unless prior notification has been given to the coordinators and head coach. Last minute illnesses/emergencies must also be reported to the coaches/coordinators ASAP.
3. All swimmers and parents must check-in upon arrival at the meet. Parents: check in with Volunteer Coordinators for your job.
   Swimmers: check-in with the coaches so we know you have arrived. Use a Sharpee® marker to write your swimmer’s events on their forearm at check-in (coaches can help). Example:

E H L

(event) (heat) (lane)

25 Free 1 2

50 Breast 2 4

100 Relay 1 2 (2nd, shallow)

1. Be on time for your races. The swimmers are responsible for their events and must get to the starting blocks on time. If you miss an event, you are letting the whole team down; especially if you are on a relay.
2. Bring warm clothing to all swim meets including several towels, extra clothing, etc. Even on very warm days swimmers can get cold, particularly when their events are toward the end of the meet.
3. Most swim meets last about 3-4 hours.
4. Do not leave a meet early unless you clear it with the head coach or coordinators first. You may be needed to substitute.
5. Code of conduct:

FOR SWIMMERS:

• Cheer for your team, not against the opponents.
• No cheating
• No inappropriate comments about other swimmers, coaches, or officials.

FOR PARENTS:

• Alcoholic beverages are not allowed. Smoking is only allowed in designated areas.
• Unruly, disruptive or unsafe conduct may be cause for removal from the pool deck.
• Please be reminded that jumping in at the end of a swim meet is prohibited and will result in a forfeit.

We would like to remind all parents to exhibit good sportsmanship toward coaches, fellow teammates, opposing swimmers and parents, and, most importantly, the referees. The Cobb Summer Swim League’s protocol to handle unsportsmanlike conduct to referees include: possibly removing parent(s) from the pool area, calling police, cancelling the meet resulting in forfeiture.
