Labeling the Swimmers & Process for Swimming:

We will  write your swimmer's first initial and first three letters of last name on their left shoulder. - 

Each team will line up swimmers under their tent. Please keep your swimmers close to your tent so that you are not chasing them down when it is time to line up! 

Then, the swimmers will move to the main staging area for Clerk of Course. Please be sure that your child is paying attention and does not miss their age group call. Please remind your swimmer to listen at Clerk of Course to ensure that they do not miss their swim. With such a large meet, they are unable to slow the flow of the meet for swimmers that are not on time to Clerk of Course. - 

Year Round Swim Teams will be located on the Tennis Courts.  If you are considering year round swim this is a great place to get all of your info in one place  at one time. 

The main emphasis at Cary City Meet is on SPIRIT and FUN!! Wear your costumes, bring music and have a great time!
