Lots of info - this is also posted on Brenham.Swimtopia.com under Swim Meets --> Timed Trials.

Timed Trials are now open for Meet Entry & Job Signup. Timed Trials ("mock" meets) serve to give new swimmers and volunteers a feel for an actual Dual Meet. All swimmers must have a Timed Trial time in order to participate in any Dual Meets during the season. We will have all volunteer positions represented, including officials, but NO disqualifications will be registered at this meet. We just need a time to record so our swimmers can compete against other teams. A swimmer must have a time in order to enter an event for any of our meets. This is a good chance for volunteers to get practice in their positions before the added pressure of another team.

All meet signup & volunteering is done thru Swimtopia. Log in to Brenham.Swimtopia.com or open the Swimtopia app (you can do everything listed with the free version).

Click the “Timed Trials” meet, click "Meet Signup" → “edit” → dropdown menu (for each swimmer). Choose “attending this meet” or “not attending this meet.”

• We do not offer relays or 100s in the Timed Trials (the template we used is uneditable, so these will still show upon signup).
• We will only swim 25yd for 10&unders, and 50yds for 11&overs.
• Beginners: enter in free & back
• Intermediate: enter free & back; if comfortable, enter breast & fly
• Advanced: enter in all events

If you cannot attend, please login to Swimtopia, click the “Timed Trials” meet, click "Meet Signup" → “edit” → dropdown menu (for each swimmer). Choose “not attending this meet.” We have 2 weeks between the Timed Trials & our May 11 meet to obtain a time during practices for any events they would possibly swim during the dual meet.

Volunteering: Click the “Timed Trials” meet, click "Job SignUp" → “Sign up for Jobs.” Click the checkbox next to your job, scroll down & SAVE.

• You will only be allowed to sign up for what you are qualified for (for example, you will not be able to sign up for computer, SNT, STR, Ref, COC if you have not been NWAL certified).
• We always need timers (plus a head timer per shift) and ready bench. Since we do not distribute ribbons for the Timed Trials, the Runner/Awards will *just* be a runner (between timers and computer).
• See the Swim Meets → Volunteer tab for more info about individual jobs.

To bring: There will be no concession stand for the Mock Meet. Please be sure to bring snacks / water for your family. You are encouraged to bring a pop up canopy, chairs, blankets, sunscreen, Sharpie, etc to set up in the field just outside the natatorium doors (SE side of the aquatic center).
