What Parents Should Bring
What Parents Should Bring The following is a list of tips to help make meets as pleasurable as possible for parents: Bring a Sharpie for marking your child’s event, heat and lane info on their arm/leg. Bring a highlighter to mark your child’s event info in the heat sheet. Bring a folding chair, along with an umbrella or other shading device. Your swimmer must remain near the ready bench area during the meet. They should not be sitting with spectators or outside the ready bench area. They risk missing their swim event if the ready bench volunteers can’t find them. The Head Coach must know who is available for each meet. No-shows or late swimmers cause stress and confusion. Please communicate any last minute changes to the coach via text. Please remember, the Cibolo Canyons Swim Team should be a fun, positive experience for your child. Parking for meets on the lot is limited to CCST Board Members, Officials and their counter parts from the visiting team. For home meets, we recommend that you walk to the pool if possible. Bring cash. All meets will have concessions. The proceeds fund equipment for our swim teams.
