Frequently Asked QuestionsDo I need a team swimsuit?
No, however, an appropriate swimsuit is required. Last
year!s suit will do, but if you need a new one, be sure to
attend the Suit Fitting Saleon Tuesday, 29 Aprilat thepool. We will have suits available, as well as goggles and
caps. Don!t forget your checkbook!
Do Bears swim in the rain?
You bet! Unless there is thunder or lightning, practice will
be held. Always check the website for updates on
practices. We will also send an email or text if you have
verified your cell number on the website.
When can I talk to a coach?
Please refrain from talking with the coaches during
practices. Often your questions can be answered by
Regina Ives, Sandra Trotti, or another veteran parent.
Our coaches are happy to talk with you after practice, or
send them an email, and they!ll get back to you ASAP.
What are Time Trials?
We run a practice meet early in the season so that
swimmers (and parents) can see how everything works
and experience our system. Every 12 and Under swimmerparticipating will be asked to swim 4 events at Time Trials
(freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly), following
the order of events in a real meet. 10 and Under swim 1
length of each stroke (25 meters); 11 and Over swim 2
lengths of each stroke (50 meters). 9 and Over also swim
the 100 IM. If your swimmer is new at some of the strokes,
just encourage them to try it and do their best. This also
allows the coaches to assess the individual swimmers in
order to plan the line up for our first league meet.
How do I sign up for a meet?
You must declare your swimmer EVERY week byTuesday!Sign into the BBST website. On the home page
toward the bottom is a section called Events. Find the meet
you want to attend and click Attend/Decline or Edit
Commitment. Select your swimmer under the Member
Name column, and select Yesor Nofrom the Declaration
drop-down. Click Save Changes. You have now declared
your swimmer.
How do I sign up for Service Hours?
Sign into the BBST website. On the home page toward the
bottom is a section called Events. Click Job Signupnext to
the event for which you want to volunteer and follow the
instructions on the page. Please refer to the BBST website
to review the Service Hour Requirements.
Make sure that you sign in as soon as you get to the meet
at the Service Hours sign-in table so we know you have
arrived. This is the best way to ensure you get credit for
your shift.

THE BEAR BULLETIN 11 MAY 2014
How Parents Can Help Their Swimmer
1.Get to the meet on time. On time means be on deck inswimsuit, cap, and goggles no less than 15 minutes
before warm-ups begin. This is very important, since
your swimmer needs to be warmed up to get themaximum effort from their muscles and to prevent
injury. We also want the team to warm-up together. Itis nearly impossible to do a separate warm-up for yourswimmer when they are late.
2.Make sure you and your swimmer check in whenyou arrive at the meet.Check-in sheets will be posted
in a common location at the meet. Either highlight orcircle your swimmers name and check all postedsheets, as sometimes names are listed on more than
one form. If you are running behind or cannot find the
facility PHONE A FRIEND so we can check yourswimmer in before they take the sign-in sheets down.
3.Have your swimmer relax between events. Do notallow your swimmer to run around in between events,as this will tire your swimmer out and they will not beready for the next event. Bring something to keep
them occupied and rested (i.e., books, games, cards,hand held games). Supervision of your child is your
responsibility at all times unless they are ondeck with the coach.
4.Food and drink is also an important staple atthe swim meet. Bring plenty of high-carbohydrate type foods. Yogurt, fruits,
crackers, pretzels, cheese, and breakfast bars arejust some of the suggested foods to pack. Asports drink or plain water is suggested forhydration.
5.Do not leave the meet before it is overwithout checking with your swimmers coach.
Your swimmer may be needed on a relay.
6.Bring chairs and blankets for you and yourswimmer to sit on.
7. If, at any time, you have questions regardingyour swimmers event, please talk to the coach.Feel free to network with other parents, askquestions, and share information. Above all,relax and enjoy your swimmers performance.
8.Attend the Pep Rallies!
If your swimmer is notsigned in by 7:30 a.m. theday of the meet, you will
be removed from allevents.
