Parents, THANK YOU for helping corral the kids & get them ready for their races! It was definitely a team effort to get the kids where they needed to be at this meet!

Reminders:

After each meet, swimmers’ ribbons are put in a file box at the pool. If the box isn't out, please ask one of the coaches to get it for you.

Monday, July 8th - All swimmers should be at practice if possible. There will be a parents meeting at 7 pm to go over information about the upcoming TSA Championship Meet. They’ve made some changes from previous years, so it will be informative for both new & seasoned families.

Entry Fees

Relay Fee: $10.00 per relay event ($2.50 per swimmer)

Swimmer Fee: $10.00 per swimmer

Swimmers must be declared by Tuesday, July 9th at 5 pm. Late entries will be charged double. You can note the individual events your child would like to swim - 6 & unders can swim 2, and 7 & ups can swim 3.

Last year we had 23 swimmers compete. We’d love to have at least 30 swimmers participate this year. It is a great experience & a lot of fun for everyone! Swimmers must be able to swim independently to compete, as 6 & unders do not have kid catchers & must swim the full length of the pool at the meet. Parents can sign up to volunteer.

**We are allowed 2 kid pushers for sessions 1 & 2. Please let Coach Julie know if you are interested in being a kid pusher. It would be helpful if you’ve volunteered in this role before & are familiar with most of the 8 & under swimmers!
