The Elk Grove Piranhas 2008 Season is now over. Please check the Registration page in February for information on joining the team for the 2009 Season!
If your family is planning to miss a meet at any time, each swimmer MUST sign the Miss-A-Meet binder 10 days before the meet. This lead-time is required, because the computer-seeding process starts two Mondays before each meet. The binder is available at regular swimming practices throughout the season, so please sign as soon as you become aware of a planned absence.
The team recognizes that unforeseen situations may arise; therefore, an exception will be made to the above policy for sudden illnesses, family emergencies, etc. In order to receive the exception, the family MUST contact the Team Parent or the designated parent for each swimmer's age group prior to the start of the meet. You will be provided with contact information before the start of regular swim meets.
Meet check-in starts at 6:45 AM and closes at 7:15 AM sharp! Please be sure to have all swimmers at the facility in time to sign-in prior to the close of check-in. Swimmers who do not check-in on time will be scratched from the meet. Please remember that many swimmers must sign-in, so allow ample time for check-in when planning your arrival at the facility.
Swimmers MUST NOT leave meets early!
Even though your swimmers may have finished all of their individual events, they still may be placed in the freestyle team relays which are run at the end of the meet. If a swimmer is missing, the entire relay team will be scratched. The relays are worth a lot of points, so scratching a team is a big ouch and disappointment to their teammates.
Failing to follow the above policies will result in your swimmer not being able to swim in the next two meets.
