[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Silly question along the same lines, since parents cannot stay how do we know when to come pick up our kid? Do the kids need to have phones so that we can be in contact regarding pick up?[/quote]

Yes, this!  I’m also a parent of a first time club swimmer.[/quote]

The day before the meet a very detailed email with the pysch sheet (lists ALL the swimmers and when each event starts) will come out and you will see when your swimmer is swimming.  So let's say your kid's last event is XXX and that starts at 12:25pm and there are seven heats and your kid is in the fourth heat.  Your kid would be done-ish shortly after 12:25 pm (they would swim 15 minutes after this time, then walk back to their team area, get distracted, then pack up stuff, etc) and walk out of the place.  You would be in the car waiting to pick them up.

Scour the pysch sheet when it has the times listed.  Some parents sit out in their cars for the blocks.  And if you live far from the meet you will have to do that, but if it is close you can drop off and pick up in the window of time.[/quote]

Yea, pretty much this. This has become the norm from last year.  I was impressed at the meets and how well they kept them on schedule.  I know some parents would pick their kids up at the very end but my guess is the kid had friends and wanted to stay for the whole time.[/quote]
