Information for tomorrow's meet in Baraboo

Hello Pool Sharks!

Tomorrow we will be traveling to the Baraboo outdoor pool. All of our pool addresses and maps are on our website under "Resources", "Pool locations". The address for the Baraboo outdoor pool is:

320 South Blvd, Baraboo, WI

If this is your first swim meet, please see the "Swim Meet 101" section under the "Resources" tab on our website, or click the link below to know what to expect and how to prepare for away meets. Since this is an away meet, we do not need volunteers.

Swim meet 101

  • Please arrive around 6:45/7am. Our warm ups start at 7:30 and end at 7:50 am. The meet will start at 8 am.
  • If something happens between now and the start of the meet and your swimmer is not able to attend, please email our Head Coach Riley ASAP to let her know. [email protected]
  • If you want to see what your swimmer is swimming in the meet, go to the "Meets and Events" tab on our website and click on the gray meet entry box (that is marked closed). You will be able to see your swimmer(s) and what they are scheduled to swim tomorrow with the event number. If you have not uploaded the free Swimtopia App, it is very helpful in signing your swimmer up for meets and seeing what they are swimming.
  • We are watching the forecast closely for tomorrow's meet. Conditions are predicted to be much better for tomorrow morning and we are not currently under an air quality advisory. As long as that remains to be the case for tomorrow morning, we plan on running the meet. If your swimmer has a medical condition that would not allow them to safely participate in the swim meet tomorrow due to the air quality, please let us know ASAP. There will be no penalty for swimmers who scratch from the meet due to a medical condition. 
  • Tomorrow's theme for the meet is Color Chaos! (Neon/tye-dye/wild patterns) Come dressed in your craziest color combinations to show your team spirit during the meet! (swimsuit underneath of course!)
  • The concession stand will have heat sheets available and will be CASH ONLY.
  • Our team usually sets up outside of the baby pool area. 
  • This is the 2nd shortest pool in the conference. It is 24 yards and 1 foot long. (I'm sure this was a mistake made a long time ago...) Either way, since this is a yard pool, your swimmers times will be faster than the times you are used to seeing them swim in our Pool. You can convert their times by multiplying their times by 1.1. You can find all our conference pool lengths with conversions under "Resources, Pool Lengths".
  • Once your child is done swimming all the events they are signed up for, you may leave. If you are not sure, please ask a coach to be sure they are done swimming before you leave.

We predict this to be a very competitive and close meet, like many of our other meets. If we can win this meet, we will at least tie for the dual meet conference Championship! This would be the first time in our team history! Please continue to encourage our swimmers to display good sportsmanship, be good teammates, and have fun, like we have done all season!

Go Pool Sharks!
