Far Westerns

This meet is open to all swimmers who have achieved their Far Western Qualifying times, are registered in July swimming and have maintained fitness during that time.

There are bonus swims for athletes aged 14 & Under, but no bonus swims for 15 & Overs.  Bonus swims are consideration times.  (That means that there are minimum times that have to be swam in order for an athlete to have a bonus swim considered).

The meet will be held at the Morgan Hill Aquatic Center, 16200 Condit Rd, Morgan Hill, CA and is hosted by the Santa Clara Swim Club.  

The dates will be July 25th through July 28th.   I believe this is an outdoor venue.

Athletes will need to be in California by July 24th.  There are no blocks of hotels booked, parents will be responsible for their own travel arrangements.  There will be coaching fees attached to this meet.  (Cost of the Coach to attend divided evenly among all participants).

All athletes must be registered in July Swimming and be in good physical fitness in order to attend.  Swimmers who are signed up but not attending the meet can be removed at the discretion of their coach with no return on fees.   

If you could email me with an indication of whether you would be interested in attending that would be amazing.  This gives me a number I can get back to meet management with.

I will closing the signup on July 1st , this does NOT mean that swimmers who achieve new times at Provincials cannot go.  So that allows for athletes to qualify at WC Open, Kamloops, Divisionals, 10 & Under Cup, and Provincial Champs.

Please be aware of signup deadlines and make sure you have signed your child up on time.  DSSC coaches will not be able to get athletes into the meets after those deadlines.

If you are asking to remove your child from the swim meet prior to the sign up deadline just change your Declaration on the club's website.
If you are asking to remove your child from the swim meet after the deadline but prior to the scratch deadline (as posted in the meet package), please email the Head Coach at headcoach@teamsungod.ca.
If you are asking to remove your child after the scratch deadline please inform your coach, but understand that you are responsible for all fees unless a medical note is given to the meet manager.  

Swimmers are responsible for knowing whether or not they make a final.  If a swimmer fails to attend their respective second swim, and there is a fine (usually 20$) their accounts will be charged.  

Relays are part of finals or prelims.  Teams can be adjusted up until the start of the session they are swam in.  Relay team members will be notified during the preliminary session whether or not they are swimming in a relay.  If a swimmer fails to show up for a relay the cost of the relay will be charged to their account.

Swimmers should bring:

• DELTA Sungod Race Suit (this is different than the suit you practice in everyday)
• 2x DELTA cap
• 2x goggles
• DELTA t-shirt
• deck clothes (maybe bring shorts and pants depending on deck temperature)
• deck shoes (most heat is lost via the feet, and it keeps your feet wart free)
• 2x towels
• water bottle
• healthy snacks
• activities (homework, cards, the coaching staff would like swimmers to avoid video games on deck)
• We encourage swimmers to not bring electronic devices. We go as a team and would rather have everyone cheer.
