Swim Meets
Dual Meets
Dual meets are weekly meets held against other swim teams in the division. This summer both of our teams will be competing in five dual meets each. Warmups begin between 7:15-7:30 a.m. Meets begin at 8 a.m. For home meets, swimmers must arrive at the GC Pool by 7 a.m. For away meets, swimmers must arrive at the opposing team's pool by 7 a.m.
* The "B" team's meet against Hempstead will be held on Monday, July 29th at 6:30 p.m. Swimmers should arrive at Hempstead by 6 p.m.
Championship Meet
Division 1 Championship Meet - Friday, August 9th at 6 p.m.
Division 2 Championship Meet - Wednesday, August 7th at 6 p.m.
Both championship meets will be held at the Arthur J. Hendrickson Pool in Valley Stream. All swimmers competing in champs should arrive at Valley Stream by 4:30 p.m. Warmups begin at 5 p.m. Those swimmers who are not competing are highly encouraged to attend the meet to cheer on their teammates.
In order to be eligible to swim in champs, all swimmers must have competed in at least THREE dual meets.
Class Meets
Class meets are optional meets held during the week at local Town of Hempstead municipal pools and are designed for individual competition and improvement. Participation in a class meet is determined by a swimmer’s best time in a specific event. Warmups for all class meets begin at 3:15 p.m. and meets begin at 4 p.m. Swimmers must provide their own transportation to class meets.
While we encourage all of our swimmers to attend the class meets that they qualify for, the meets are optional and do not take the place of dual meets to count towards eligibility for the championship meets.
2019 Class Meet Schedule and Directions
Christopher Crafa Memorial Blue & White Meet
Initiated in 2014, the Christopher Crafa Memorial Blue & White Meet was renamed in memory of one of our former swimmers, Christopher Crafa, after his passing in 2019. Christopher swam on the "A" Team with his triplet brothers, John and Thomas, from 2004-2014. He also swam for the Garden City High School and Catholic University. This annual meet is an opportunity not only to celebrate the end of the swim season but also to celebrate Christopher, his enthusiasm and love for the sport, and the profound impact he made on all those who knew and loved him.
All swimmers and parents, as well as any former swimmers, parents, and coaches, are invited to join us for the 2019 Christopher Crafa Memorial Blue & White Meet on Sunday, August 11th at 8:00 a.m.
