Mock Meet is a chance for new parents and swimmers to learn what a swim meet is like, and to meet Sharks teammates and families.

Coaches will hold "warm ups" (which is similar to practice) from 5:30 to 6:00pm. Mock Meet will begin at approximately 6:00pm, so parents should be present on the pool deck by this time. A demonstration of how swim meets operate will be given, including a description of each of the various jobs/roles performed by volunteers, as well as the location of where they are performed by the pool. We will then simulate some racing events like those that would occur in an actual meet. If technical conditions allow, our "Dolphin" timing system may be set up for the simulations.

At approximately 7:00pm, all swimmers should be out of the pool, and we will have a pizza party in the picnic bench area directly west of the concession stand. All Sharks families are encouraged to participate. Pizza, pop, and water will be provided compliments of the Parent Club; but you may bring your own food & drinks in coolers. Portable chairs are also allowed. Alcohol is prohibited on park district grounds. The pizza party will end at 8:00pm.

Make sure to bring extra towels and clothing for your swimmers to wear at the pizza party. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have during the party, or to voice any concerns.
