Our Non-championship Sevices

Our Non-championship Sevices

We specialize in making swim meet photography smooth and stress-free—for both meet hosts and families. Our focus at non-championship meets is offering mini private sessions by reservation, alongside event coverage for the hosting team. No pressure, no commitment from the team—just value added for your swimmers and families.


🔄 How This Works

Every facility and meet runs a little differently, so we always coordinate closely with the meet director beforehand.

In general:

  • By-reservation-only. All bookings are made through our online system, and we photograph specific swimmers on demand, from behind the block, action to the-end of race.
  • Private sessions are scheduled between sessions or after the last session of the day, and are open to all swimmers—not just the hosting team.
  • Private Online Album is sent to each parent to view, download, and order from—easy to share with family, and available anytime, anywhere.
  • Event coverage happens during the meet, but we photograph only the hosting team’s swimmers for the event album—no other teams’ athletes are included, for privacy and handling concerns.

Final logistics are confirmed after a quick chat with the meet director to ensure everything runs smoothly.


💡 Why It Works for Non-Championship Meets

📍 Texas-Based; Swim-Savvy We’ve built strong relationships with local swim families and understand the unique flow of Texas meets and team culture. Our team blends in smoothly with meet operations—no disruption, just great photos. 

🎯 Low Impact, High Value Mini session bookings are affordable for parents. All handled entirely online and the shooting takes place during breaks—in between and after events. They're fast, affordable, and designed to fit effortlessly into a swimmer’s day. 

🙌 Zero Work for Hosts We handle everything—from bookings and communication to image delivery. All we need is permission to be there. 


🎁 What Your Team Gets Out of It

While we don’t offer commission for non-championship meets (due to the low-margin nature of the service), we make sure the host team still receives real value:

  • Full Coverage Event Album: A curated set of 200+ professionally edited action and candid images featuring your team throughout the meet. Ideal for marketing, website use, and social media.

  • Family Access: After the event, families receive access to a dedicated gallery of action and candid moments. No pressure to buy—just a way to relive the meet and preserve memories. Our records consistently show high engagement, with over 100 family members viewing the gallery after each event.

  • Zero Workload: We handle all logistics, bookings, and questions. No extra effort required from the hosting team.

Think of it as a value-add for your families—something meaningful that doesn’t require extra coordination on your end.
