• Other information:
Swimmers are expected to stay at the meet for its duration both daysSwimmers are part of the PHS Swim Team and they are expected to support their teammates in every event they swim. They can also learn a great deal from watching other races/other swimmers swim. There will be about 35teams at this meet, so this is a great time to watch and learn and cheer for your team. 
Swimmers may leave the meet after it is over and we have finished talking with the team ONLY with their own parent or guardian if they do not want to ride on the bus. The parent/guardian must sign them out for them to be able to leave. Please do not ask to sign out a swimmer before the meet is over and the coaches are finished talking with the team following the last event of the meet.
