Swim Meet Info

Meet Expectations

You are expected to attend all swim meets. This is a team sport and it requires a team effort to win a meet. Must email coach at DBHSswimming two weeks prior of any conflicts with swim meet dates.
Pay attention to when your events are and how the meet is progressing
It is your responsibility to be on the starting block at the correct time
Veterans help the newcomers stay organized and get to the blocks on time
If someone misses their event Diamond Bar loses points!
Stay well hydrated with water
Warm up before your event to optimize your performance. You should do some drills, interspersed with a little speed work. Enough of a warm up to loosen up, but not enough to have any perception of tiredness. You should finish the warm up about 10-15 minutes before the start of your event.
Cool Down after each event to get rid of lactic acid, so you will not “hit the wall” in your next event. A stretched out 300 Free is a good cool down.

Competition

Busses will be available to and from dual meets on weekdays. Saturday invitationals will have no busses provided and swimmers will need to arrange transportation with their families.
Members of the swim program are expected to give 100% effort when they are competing in a meet and practice
Meet lineups will be based on time.
Events will be chosen to make the best competitive lineup against our opponents. You will not necessarily be swimming your best event at all the meets.
Swimming events is earned through performance in practices and meets.
Swimming Events is not Guaranteed and is at the discretion of the coaching staff
If a player is dissatisfied with the events entered, the proper way to address the issue is to make an appointment with the head coach to discuss how the player can switch. The coaching staff will not meet with only the parents of a swimmer. It is required by the Head Coach that the swimmer be present at any meetings with their parents.
The meet line-up will be posted the day before a meet. You must email the coach 2 weeks prior to a dual meet and invitational, if you are unable to make it for some reason.
No changing out of an event without first talking to the head coach.

Pool Etiquette

We have this awesome new facility – make sure that you leave the deck cleaner than when you came
Pool preparation and cleanup is EVERYONE’S responsibility. No one should have to tell you to put the lane lines in. No one is to leave until the lane lines have been stored and the pool has been restored to an excellent condition. This includes removing and putting the covers on the pool.
Gum is not allowed on the pool deck. This includes the bleacher area and any part of the enclosed pool area.
Deck Changing: Changing into or out of swimsuits other than in locker rooms or other designated areas is not appropriate and not allowed
Valuables on Deck: Do not bring valuables to the pool area! The school assigns lockers to students for their use and does not take responsibility for the students' property or belongings. It is the responsibility of students at all times to safeguard their own property and property issued by the school.
Away Meets: Leave the deck area cleaner than when we came.
