Lane Sponsors are announced once each day and Event Sponsors once during the meet when their sponsored event begins. All sponsors must provide the wording.
Banner next to Timing BoardThere is one place at the meet to which all eyes turn repeatedly – the timing board on which race results are immediately posted. The Title Sponsor will have its banner hung directly adjacent to the board. The sponsor will, of course, need to provide the banner.

Back in 1987, Bob and Sherry Budke, two Walnut Creek Swim Club parents, saw the need for an invitational swim meet at which all swimmers could contribute to the success of their teams. Previously, invitationals were big meets to which teams brought all their swimmers, but only the best could expect to place and score. Bob and Sherry conceived of a meet with two flights, where slower swimmers could realistically compete to better their teams’ standings. Thus, the Walnut Creek All-City Meet was born.
Today, the All-City Meet is a vibrant summer spectacle and local tradition. The two-day event boasts an atmosphere of personal accomplishment, friendly competition, cross-town rivalries, team spirit and community pride.
By sponsoring the Walnut Creek All-City Meet, you are not only taking advantage of a great advertising opportunity but sustaining a fantastic program that brings families together and builds the character of our youth.
