This will be run like a regular “A” meet except that swimmers will swim all 4 strokes, so there may be multiple heats per stroke. There are no relays. Coaches will make sure your swimmer is at the clerk of course with their card before their event. If your swimmer is concerned about swimming all four strokes, please have them talk to the coach. 8&U will only be swimming free and back unless they can legally swim butterfly and breaststroke. This is a low stress, fun event, for our kids.

*** Concessions will be open!

Have your swimmer pack his/her bag on Friday evening. Include googles, swim cap, and two towels.

Mark your swimmers clothing/spirit wear with their name.

Swim caps must either display Long Branch swim team or not have writing. Swim caps with another team's logo or insignia cannot be worn. Please wear team suits if you have them.

Bring/apply sunscreen and bug spray.

Bring a “camp chair” so your swimmer has a place to sit between events.

Pack a snack to include water.

If you are volunteering or available to volunteer, please wear a white shirt and blue bottoms.Meet timeline:
