AWAY MEET INFORMATION
During the season the Club travels to meets outside Christchurch.
Parents are emailed details of these meets when the meet entry form is sent.
We'll let you know where the team will be staying and what your child needs to bring well before the trip.
Invoices for away meet expenses will be sent after the event, once all expenses are accounted for and divided between the travelling swimmers.
1
ACCOMMODATION & FOOD
The Waitaha swim team all stay together in reasonably priced accommodation pre-booked by the swim club. Depending on the age of the swimmers attending, parent volunteers might be needed to stay in room with the children. Police vetting is compulsory prior to parents volunteering.
The meet Manager buys the food for the team (apart from breakfast cereal and poolside snacks) and we make sure all swimmers have plenty of healthy options available. If your child has any specific dietary requirements please let the club know and these will be catered for.
We do rely on parent/caregiver volunteers attending the meet help out with meals - please volunteer and contribute where you can.

PARENTS & SUPPORTERS
ACCOMMODATION
Parents and supporters not staying as team helpers need to make their own accommodation arrangements. We recommend booking early - meets can attract large numbers of out of town swimmers and accommodation close to the venue can be hard to find.
3
COST
We normally need a deposit before the trip and the balance - which includes accommodation, food and sometimes transport - is invoiced after the trip.
Accommodation and food costs are split equally among those staying in the team accommodation.
4
TRANSPORT
Parents are responsible for transport to and from the away meet. Please let the club know if you can provide transport for others, and if you can't transport your own child, we may be able to arrange a ride with another family.
