Need ideas for stirring interest in a our 1st meet

magick17
Our masters club has our first scheduled meet on March 17th. I don't know how to stir interest to get people to come. We have 3 entries and may have to cancel. This will be the last and only attempt at a masters meet from our club(which is a USA driven board and hold 3 USA meets a year, one is the biggest in the lsc). I know I have support from my club(the kids parents esp.). I have emailed a lot of folks on our LMSC privately. And some have pasted it on(thanks Jim). I've attend a meet at a local LMSC and brought meet invites. It's on the calender of events. I'm from Allegheny Mountain LMSC, if you want to check it out... I have to attend our board meeting in a week..ekkss.. I hate to cancel, I have a month...any ideas?!?! HELP

  • I can certainly understand your concern. We just finished our 3rd meet yesterday at our home pool. Everyone is right. Nearly 80% of swimmers register online in the last 3 days. On Monday, we only had 11 swimmers registered. By our deadline on Wednesday, we had 56. Things that I've found helpful is to send your info here and to have it posted on your Zone website as well. I also go to our LMSC Zone website and look up every club in our zone's e-mail address and e-mail the meet info and registration link to them personally. I even mail the clubs in all the surrounding states as well. You'd be surprised how many will come. Last fall we had a member fly in all the way from California to compete. Turns out they made a family trip back home to visit! Good luck!!
