Note: It is important to enter swim meets before the closing date as some swim meets reach maximum capacity very quickly. 

Step 3. Check the M1 news

Keep an eye out for the M1 news (sent most weeks during the term). These updates include information about any swim meets taking place (including what time swimmers should arrive for the warm up).  

Step 4. Attend the swim meet

The most important step - attending the meet! Here's a few tips on what to do on the day:

• Bring your gear - Make sure you have your bathers, goggles, towel and M1 uniform - water and snacks are also a good idea.

• Arrive on time - Coaches are there to warm you up and prepare you for racing, so show respect to your coach by arriving on time

• Sit together with team - All M1 swimmers are expected to sit together as a team at swim meets. Coaches will reinforce this and parents are asked to play their role in telling their children to sit with team mates.  Parents are welcome to sit next to the team.

• Marshalling for your event - Check what event numbers are yours and marshall on time for your event

• Communicate with your coach - Report to your coach at warm up and checkin with them throughout the meet

• Support your team mates - Swimmers are part of a team, so make an effort to support members of your team
