Team Camp:

• Early meet set up is not allowed on Friday evening.

The team will be providing hot dogs with the fixins for lunch.  If you are available to grill, come on by.

• Please note the purple arrows. The only entrance and exit to the pool for families is at the upper left corner of the pool on the map. Anything marked with an "X" is for swimmers and officials only.
• Spectating families are not allowed in Clerk of the Course or anywhere it is red. There will be deck marshalls at gates directing traffic. Please obey them and treat them with respect. Do not attempt to sneak past them.
• Parents are NOT allowed behind the blocks and phones are not allowed behind the blocks. No video or photography is allowed behind the blocks.

League Meet Breakfast and Lunch Sign -up genius: Please visit our sign-up genius to contribute and drop off your breakfast potluck items to Jamie Vislocky at the breakfast table as soon as you arrive at camp. You can drop off the lunch items after 10:30 am to Jenna Crescenzi.  The table will be set up in the back of our camp.  Vy, our snack shack coordinator, will be providing morning coffee for our parents.  Thank you Vy.  

Clerk of the Course (Pinole Seals is running it):

Swimmers must check in for their swim about 15-20 minutes before their event at Clerk of the Course. This means you must be aware of who is currently swimming so you can get your swimmer to Clerk at the appropriate time. The volunteer parents at Clerk will then guide your swimmer into rows of chairs and have them sit, in order, with their heat, until it is their turn to swim. Parents are not allowed past the check-in table at Clerk of the Course. When it is their turn to swim, the volunteer parents will guide the swimmers onto the pool deck and get them to the appropriate lane to swim their event.

Volunteer Assignments

ALL FAMILIES must work a job. You must check in for your volunteer job with Rachelle Reyes once you arrive at camp. All no shows will have $50 billed to the credit card on file. The volunteer check-in area will be towards the front of camp. The jobs have been assigned in Swimtopia.  Please check and know your job.   Thank you to the families that are working an extra job!!

Our team participates in the Tri Counties Swim League (TCSL) Championship. This meet is referred to as TCSL or League Meet or Championship Meet. This is an invitational meet. This is the Seals’ most important meet of the season, because it determines our League ranking. During this event, our swimmers compete against all the teams in our league. All swimmers, regardless of their age or ability, are expected to participate in this League-wide meet. The team pays all entry fees for your swimmer. If you do not intend to attend League Meet, you must inform the head coach via e-mail two (2) weeks before the first day of League meet. If your child is a “no show” after entries are submitted, you may be responsible for all your swimmer’s fees including any relay that may be scratched due to your swimmers absence.

During the season we will swim against each team in the League in dual meets. All League teams will participate in the League Championship Meet at the end of the swim season. The following teams are part of the Tri Counties Swim League:

Please note that Time Trials, Invitational meets and Blue and Gold do not count towards the volunteer work credits. We need all families to attend and work Time Trials (introduction/training to swim meets). Also, all families who sign up their swimmer(s) for Invitationals are required to work the meet and will be automatically assigned a job.
