2023 Bella Casa at Brighton Forest
Brighton Forest Silver Fins
Start: 6:00 PM
Warm-up: 5:00 PM
Review our home meet routine to learn what time you -- swimmers and volunteers -- need to arrive and how the day will go. Parking: Parking is limited and we would like to reserve as many spaces as possible for our guests. Please review the parking information. We ask that all Silver Fins families walk, bike, or carpool. When you arrive, please follow the directions of the parking attendant. Seating: Please leave the RIGHT side of the pool deck, near the slide, for Bella Casa. We try to utilize the left 2/3 of the pool deck and our guests take the right 1/3. We recommend bringing chairs from home because many of the pool chairs will be needed for volunteers and coaches. Concessions: Cash only, pizza, Chick-fil-A sandwiches, drinks, snacks, etc. Results: Times will not be given to swimmers. All results will be shared after the meet. Times will be available during the meet if you purchase the SwimTopia Mobile App Pro Subscription. All results are unofficial until after the meet and all meet administrators have reviewed them. Spectators: Please stay behind the yellow ropes at both ends of the pool at all times. The Swimmers, Kid Pushers, Clerk of Course, Timers, Judges, and other officials and volunteers will need to be able to move freely in these areas in order to fulfill their responsibilities. This will help us to keep the meet moving so everyone can get home at a reasonable time. Things to Bring:
Click the Meet Entry button to declare your swimmer. You must declare your swimmers by the deadline for them to swim. Click the Job Signup button to sign up to volunteer. Even consider sharing a role with another family. One family can sign up to volunteer at this meet and another family can sign up to volunteer at another meet. But split the job at both meets so you never have to work a full meet. Final Score: Brighton Forest 232 Bella Casa 269 Overall Record: 1-4-1, Division 8 Record: 0-3

2023 Brighton Forest at Amberly
Amberly
Start: 6:00 PM
Warm-up: 5:30 PM
Parking: There is a large lot immediately behind the clubhouse that should offer plenty of parking. Arrival and Entry: Enter through the main entrance of the clubhouse. Important: Each family must complete a waiver to swim at this pool. Please complete this before the meet. If you forget, you will have the ability to complete it on site in the clubhouse. Waiver can be accessed here. Seating: The areas to the Northeast and Southeast of the deck are for our team to use during the swim meet. Due to the likelihood of a sunny, hot day, feel free to bring some pop up tents for your area to provide additional shade. Please stay in the section of the pool where the meet is occurring. Do not enter the other pool areas. Concessions: Concessions will be set up outside of the back gate. Most likely these will consist of Chik-Fil-A sandwiches, pizza, drinks, chips, & ice cream/popsicles. The concessions will be “cash-free” and will have options for electronic payments, i.e. Venmo, Apple Cash. End of Meet: Everyone must exit at the back gate as the clubhouse and front exit will be closed. Please clean up your area when leaving. Results: All results will be finalized after the meet. Unofficial times will be available during the meet if you purchase the SwimTopia Mobile App Pro Subscription. Things to Bring:

Even consider sharing a role with another family. One family can sign up to volunteer at this meet and another family can sign up to volunteer at another meet. But split the job at both meets so you never have to work a full meet. Final Score: Brighton Forest 144 Amberly 368 Overall Record: 1-3-1, Division 8 Record: 0-2
New Records:
Personal Bests: Amberly's pool is measured in meters. 25 meters is 27.34 yards. Not all swimmers had entry times and the result times were not converted from meters to yards when generating the report. Both of these circumstances made it difficult to determine who achieved personal records. Luckily, there are other post-meet reports that do convert the times, making it possible to identify personal bests -- with a little effort. The 6&U times are harder to compute. The distance swam was 14 meters as opposed to 15 yards. Times are not converted when the numerical values of the distances are not equal. For example, 14 and 15 are not equal so the 6&U times are not converted, while 25 and 25 are equal so the times for 7-18 year-olds are converted. Because 14 meters is 15.31 yards, we can make an unofficial estimate that any 6&U swimmer achieved a personal best if their unconverted time over 14 meters was faster than their personal best time over 15 yards. Once we had a list of personal bests relative to 2023, those times were cross-referenced against each swimmer's all-time personal bests. Look at all these improvements! (Note that all times have been converted from meters to yards.)
