Mohican Swim & Dive Team

FOR "A" MEETS:

• For each A Meet, Coaches determine line-up (aka “roster”) the prior Thursday based on top times by gender, age group and event, swimmer availability and event restrictions.
• To determine the roster, the Coaches need to know who is available to swim for each meet, and you will need to confirm availability of your swimmer by taking the steps below:
  • By 7 PM on MONDAY of each week, indicate whether your swimmer(s) can attend the weekend's Saturday meet on the Meet & Event Sign-up page. Optimally indicate your swimmers availability at the beginning of the season for all meets, and update as necessary no later than 7 PM on the MONDAY before.
  • If you know your swimmer CANNOT attend a given week’s A meet, please mark them “unavailable” as early as possible.
• If your swimmer is selected to compete in an A meet and for some reason cannot attend, you need to let the coach know as soon as possible and no later than 10am on Friday so that an alternate can be selected.
• This is very IMPORTANT as Coaches are only permitted to change very few swimmers after the roster is submitted.
If a swimmer is scheduled to swim and does not show up, this is called a “scratch”. It means that the team loses a swimmer in every event that swimmer was scheduled in, the lane is empty, the team loses points and another swimmer loses the opportunity to swim in that event slot. 

FOR "B" MEETS:

• By 7 PM on MONDAY, indicate whether your swimmer(s) would like to swim in the WEDNESDAY B meet. Optimally indicate your swimmers availability at the beginning of the season for all meets, and update as necessary no later than 7 PM on the Monday before.
• If you know your swimmer(s) CANNOT attend a given week’s B meet, we strongly recommend marking them “unavailable” as this will keep you from receiving reminder emails about signing up for the meet.
• Register your swimmer(s) for the events in which they are interested in competing but please note that younger swimmers entering the more technically demanding breaststroke, butterfly and Individual Medley (IM) events require coach approval.
• Your swimmers will be receiving direction from coaches about what events they should swim in the B meet.
• If you are uncertain of whether your swimmer is ready to swim a certain event, please email [email protected]. 
• Go to Meet & Event Sign-up to register for each B Meet.
