CHAMPIONSHIP INFORMATION

 

Swimmers need to check in at 6:45 a.m.for championships. Plan on arriving at the Woodland pool at 6:30 a.m. to get set up. Swimmers must start checking in at 6:45. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE LATE FOR CHECK-IN.

If you leave Galt by 5:30 a.m. you will have plenty of time. The Woodland pool is only ten miles (about 15 minutes) past the Sacramento Airport.

 

There will be four lanes for warm-ups. Warm up schedule is as follows:

8 & under   7:00 – 7:10                            9 – 10 yr. Olds   7:10 – 7:25

11 & ups who normally swim in lanes 1 – 4 at practice        7:25 – 7:40

11 & ups who normally swim in lanes 5 – 8 at practice        7:40 – 8:00

 

 

Come to the Woodland Pool to set up in the team area on Friday night.

It may be a good idea to come to Woodland on Friday evening to set up your canopy in the Galt team area. There is absolutely no setting up before 4:00 p.m. Tents with bottoms or canvases may not be left on the grass over night. There is no camping over night allowed in the team areas. At least if you arrive for set up on Friday night you will already be set up for Saturday morning and you will know how to get to the pool.

 

We are looking for parents to swim in the parent relay on Saturday.

After the preliminary races there will be a parent relay. Team parents will be competing against the other team parents. We will have two relay teams for Galt. Each relay team will swim a 100 yard freestyle relay. If you are interested in swimming on the parent relay please let Coach Kalah know no later than Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m.

This relay event has always been lots of fun. The swimmers always enjoy cheering for the parents. Luckily, the parents only need to swim one lap !

 

PLEASE STAY AFTER THE PRELIMINARY RACES TO WATCH FINALS.

Even if your swimmer does not make it in to finals you are encouraged to stay for the Finals Competition. We expect a large representation of Galt swimmers to make it in to championships and they need all the team support they can get. Please stay and enjoy the competition and cheer on your teammates to victory. There is also an awards ceremony for the six and under high point swimmers on Saturday night and the rest of the swimmers will have an awards ceremony on Sunday night. Please stay for awards.
