Swim Meet 101

There will be 6 Dual Meets  this year for the regular season. Please refer to the schedule for the dates. 

Warm ups will begin 30 minutes prior to the start of the meet so make sure to be there early and ready to race.

Transportation- THERE IS NO TEAM BUS! Parents are expected to drive or arrange any rides for their swimmer to arrive at the meet on time. Please don' t be be late.

Rules-The Morris County Summer League generally follows the USA Swimming rules for the four racing strokes, turns, and starts, although one false start is allowed. Officials will determine any infraction of the stroke, and will label the swimmer “Disqualified” if they do not do the stroke correctly. Although this can be very upsetting to a new or young swimmer, it has to be considered a learning process.

Frequent causes of Disqualification include:

  • NOT touching the wall with 2 hands simultaneously during the breaststroke and butterfly.
  • NOT staying on the back during a backstroke event, except during the back flip turn.
  • Asymmetrical breaststroke kick and arm pull.
  • Using the flutter kick for breaststroke or butterfly.
  • False start during a relay. A swimmer may not jump off the block or leave the wall before his/her preceding teammate has touched the wall.
  • Coaches should review this at practice and will help out any swimmer if needed
