NOTE: Meets stated above in bold are USA Stingray Team meets. Regular print meets listed above are the SAAA meets which the coaching staff asks our USA/SAAA Swimmers to participate in if they desire to achieve SAAA Championship Meet status. Coordinating meets with practices is important for overall performance maximization, thus we ask our USA/SAAA swimmers to follow this schedule. SAAA participation over the summer is NOT mandatory, but many of our swimmers enjoy doing both, so we are trying to accommodate all our athletes. USA meets listed above should be viewed as priority for USA swimmers and 3 regular season meets should be attended over the summer months as well as a Championship meet (Regional or State or Far Western).
*Those meets with this notation may/may not be a “team” meet. Final determination will be made based upon entry/participation numbers.
*Meet entry deadlines subject to change.

Meet Entries
Procedures:
Send all meet entry requests to Nichole Hocheder tjccstingrays@yahoo.com
List the swimmer’s name, name and date of the meet, event #, corresponding stroke and distance (For example, Joe Swimmer, Mardi Gras Meet-Jan 20th, Event #3, 100 Free)
Details:
Swim meets are swum on a regular basis throughout the year depending on the season. Swimmers are not expected to swim in every meet. Swimming in a meet is up to the swimmers and the parents based on the swimmers’ commitment to the sport.
Meet schedules are emailed to parents before the start of each swim session.
For home and away meets, the swimmers pay for their own travel expenses. During each out of town meet, an attempt will be made to get together for a team dinner. One dinner will be purchased for each swimmer who attends the team dinner and will be paid for using our team’s fundraising money.
To help promote team spirit, it is suggested that swimmers wear a Stingray cap and a team suit during competition. Stingray caps, t-shirts and sweatshirts are available for purchase in the swim team office.
Special Stingray team t-shirts are given to swimmers who achieve Regional “Q” times or State “Q” times, whichever the higher “Q” time. A Stingray team warm-up is given to those swimmers who achieve at least three (3) Far Western “Q” times.
“TEAM MEET” defined as our team members are encouraged to attend and coaching staff will be paid for their time/travel/etc….
