What Time Is It?

For the 19 swimmers going to the Park City meet this weekend, Coach Bob wants you at the pool at the following times:

Friday (Oct 4th):  4:10 PM
Saturday (Oct 5th):  7:10 AM

For those new to the swimming world, there are thee important times associated with every meet.

1)  Show Up Time - When DART expects you to arrive at the pool
2)  Warm Up Time - When teams may officially begin their in-pool warm up
3)  Meet Time - When the first heat of the first event takes place

Coach Bob typically almost always wants DART swimmers to arrive at the pool 20 minutes before the advertised warm up time.  For every meet in the future, and hopefully you will be attending many, plan on arriving 20 minutes before warm ups, even if you don't hear him explicitly say it.

How do you know the advertised warm up time?  It's in the meet information document, posted on our website. Using the Park City meet as an example, here's how to find it ...

On DART home webpage, click on the meet title:

Warm up times and meet start times are posted in the document:

The meet information document contains many tidbits of useful information.  If you'll notice in the last graphic, it states the pool's address.
