Meet tips for New Parents:  

Arrive on time.  These meets can be very hectic given the number of swimmers which generally attend. Plan to be early to avoid confusion among the swimmers, parents, and coaches.

Buy a copy of the heat sheet. These are generally $3 or $4 and are sold at the front entrance to meets and are good for the entire meet. The heat sheet has all of the information concerning events, heats, and lane assignments for all swimmers entered in the meet.  Write (in ink or marker) on the back of your swimmer's hand, the event #, heat #, and lane # for each of their events (no need to write the name of the event). 

Find the ANSC Coach on deck.  Make sure that your swimmer knows who the coaches are. When they get on deck, they should look for their coaches and check in with them so that the coaches are aware that they have arrived.

No parents are allowed on the pool deck. You may wish to accompany your swimmer to the locker room or staging area to help them get organized prior to you taking a seat in the stands, but you are not allowed to go on the pool deck. You may also want to keep your kid's extra gear with you or in a locker, if one is available in the locker room.

Try to sit with other ANSC parents. This can help the kids find you if they need to get you in the stands or if they wish to sit with you if their next event is not scheduled for some time. It also helps to represent ANSC better and can give you someone to compare notes with throughout the event.

Watch the Meet!  Keep an eye on the event numbers as the meet goes along.  Remember, 25 yard races are short even when they are slow so the events may move along quickly.  Make sure the kids are sent to the deck to see the coaches well ahead of each of their events.

Enjoy the meet!  Cheer for all the ANSC swimmers!
