Approval is pending from Virginia Swimming for the Meet to be USA Observed so times will count for USA Swimming qualifications.
Parents from all participating teams, please sign-up to help by using the following Sign-up Genius links:
- Diving Judging and Stroke & Judging here.
- Timers sign up here.
- Each team has been assigned the responsibility for timing one or more lanes. See your team’s lane assignments on the warm-up schedule, below.
- Timer spots have been split into 2 shifts. The meet is expected to be over 4 hours. If volunteers want to time the whole meet, please sign up under BOTH shifts. ALL timers are expected to attend the timer meeting at 1:35 pm.
- If your school does not have a specific lane assignment and would like to help, we also have sign-up slots for extra timers who can substitute for tired timers halfway through.
- Hospitality contributions here. Please help. Thank you to The Carmel School for taking charge of hospitality for this Meet!
The meet will be streamed live on the Seton Swimming Highlights YouTube channel at: https://setonswimming.org/videos/
- If you go to that page now, you can see recordings of previous live streams. We think you will find it quite enjoyable to watch the meet at home if you are not volunteering.

I am a grandmother of one of the boys who swam in Event 15, Heat 1. I have been waiting all day to see, hear about and watch my grandson swim this event. However, during that heat the announcers did nothing but talk about the previous girls event, their own teams and they never mentioned one thing about Event 15, Heat 1.
I am wondering why? It seemed very unfair to me.
Thank you for your inquiry, Darlene.
I’m the volunteer head coach at Seton, the main announcer, and a grandfather of 19 myself. After 25-years of kids going through Seton School, I no longer have any on the team, but I continue to volunteer to put on this meet (for 20 years now) and the live stream with many other enormously talented and dedicated parent volunteers.
I understand your perspective.
I’m sorry you found it disappointing. We mainly do the livestream for our own team and share it with everyone else. We are not even able to mention all of the swimmers on our own team, but I hope you noticed how much I talked about swimmers from other teams anyway.
Our goal on the livestream is to educate and to help others get the context of what is going on in the meet as a whole. We do the best we can, but is simply not possible to talk about all 400 kids, including the kids in non-scoring heats of every event, even if that was our goal.
The good news is that you had a clear view of your grandson’s swim from the comfort of your home, which it sounds like you were able to take advantage of.
In this particular case, the prior heat was one of the most impactful races in the meet where the eventual swimmer-of-the-meet was beaten by our Seton girl head-to-head in a very fast and very close finish. It was a great race, and I was very excited about how it turned out.
I’m sorry you were upset by our livestream. Believe it or not, I hear from many, many grandparents, and most are thrilled that we go to such extremes to have it all.
Coach Jim Koehr
BTW, for which school does your grandson swim?
