Prelims & Championships: Important Information, RSVP & Volunteers
Hi Seahorse Families,
First, I want to thank all of our volunteers for helping at the Foxboro meet! We couldn't run these meets without you. I also loved seeing all of our swimmers work so hard and continue to improve. I've attached the meet results below. Here are a few important things to know for Prelims and Championships this week.
The league has moved up the deadline for coaches to submit entries, so all swimmers must be declared by 8:00 a.m. on Sunday. For past meets, I know we have been able to make a few last-minute additions, but once the meet is merged, there is absolutely nothing I can do to add swimmers. Please make sure your swimmer is declared before the deadline if they plan to attend. I have linked the swimmer RSVP and volunteer sign-up below. Please use the RSVP link to declare whether your swimmer will be attending.
This year, we decided to replace the parking and entrance fees with a one-time Prelims/Championship Meet Fee. Every family with a swimmer competing in will pay a one-time $10 fee per family (not per swimmer, not per meet). Unfortunately, the city's payment form is still being finalized. As soon as it is available, I'll send it out to everyone. Please do not wait to declare your swimmer until after you've paid, we'll collect payment as soon as the form is ready.
When you arrive at the Gahanna Swimming Pool, please enter through the front gate. All families should use the Members Only entrance, even if you are not a member. Just let the staff member at the gate know you're there for the swim meet, and they'll let you in.
JV Prelims
- Please arrive by: 10:45 a.m.
- Warm-ups: 11:00 a.m.

We are in the first warm-up session; we'll be getting in the water right at 11:00. Please have your swimmer find a coach as soon as they arrive so we can get everyone checked in and ready to go. Our coaches' tent will be in our usual location right off the pool deck behind the starting blocks, on the side farthest from the slide.

- Warm-ups: 4:30 p.m.
