It is important to attend as many meets as possible. Meets are why swimmers swim and why coaches coach. They are fun, they build a team's identity, and are a measuring stick to watch swimmers progress in the sport. The events vary from meet to meet so there are always different events to swim.
Below is a description of the type of meets:
STSL League meets: Half-day meets at the local club pools, swimmers swim 3-4 events. There are 6 regular season league meets, a distance meet, and a championship meet. At the distance meet, the swimmers swim one event, usually the longest distance event offered for their age group. You have to attend at least 2 league meets to attend the championship meet held in February. Over the course of the season, every event is offered at least once.
Bronze Districts: A two day meet held in Lansing (outside Ithaca). A great chance for our swimmers to experience a championship format meet with preliminary events and finals for the top 12. It also is a chance to choose your events and try to qualify for the Silver and Gold meets.
Silver and Gold Niagara Meets: Time standard championship meets offered by Niagara District for those who qualify. Every swimmer making qualifying times are encouraged to attend. This is a chance to see the highest levels of competition in the Western and Central NY area.
