Spectator Guidelines

Spectators must stay in designated areas for guests. The area behind the times at a swim meet must be kept clear so competitors may be positioned for the next event. Spectators should not ask table workers, timers, announcers, swim reps, judges, or officials about the times and scores.

The call for quiet from the starter must be followed. Please respect the referee’s whistle for silence. Remember to cheer for your team, your children, friends, and an athlete who is struggling--just remember to do it at the right time.

Silence your cell phones!

No photographs from behind the start area. No flash photography at the start. A flash looks like a start strobe. You are welcome and encouraged to take pictures and submit them for the slideshow at the end of the year.

Spectators/Parents are not allowed in the team area. Parents must let their children remain in the team area during a meet. Meet participants are expected to be in the team area and ask permission to leave.
