Thanks to everyone who came to backwards practice today! We had some fun doing backwards strokes, swimming on the wrong side of the lane, and deciphering Coach Devon’s handwriting while trying to rescue a family of ducks from the pool!

Congratulations to all of our swimmers for a big meet weekend! Thank you to all of the many volunteers to make this happen. There were a lot of fast times, including new League and State qualifications. A special congrats to our medal winners from the Pentathlon: Marielle (8 and under girls), Annika J. (11-12 girls), Nolan J. (11-12 boys), Gwyneth J. (13-14 girls), Kerington J. (15-16 girls), Phoebe P (17-18 girls), Byung-A C. (17-18 boys)!
Don’t forget that upper division practice is 7-8am (Monday, June 29) and it’s Spirit Week with Opposite Day kicking off Monday. Other days will be posted here so stay tuned.
Please sign up to help with the meet on Wednesday! It’s our last Intrasquad and last home meet for most swimmers this season. Parents- get ready to break out those swimsuits and dust off your goggles. There is a fun parent versus coaches relay at the conclusion of the meet. It’s a fun tradition as we celebrate the wrap-up of our home meets. Don’t be shy- it’s dark by then and the kids will cheer you on! See Natalie at the beginning of the meet to get signed up.
Entries are updated in the sidebar for the meets tomorrow. Please double check that everything is correct as there were changes at the meet today.
Remember that upper division has a late start practice on Monday (7-8 am).
Monday also starts our spirit week with Mix it up Monday (Opposite day)! We look forward to seeing you there!
Hi parents. The meet tomorrow will likely be our fastest meet of the season because Genessee is fairly small. The coaches from their team reached out and asked if we would be interested in swimming an extra relay at the end of the meet against their coaches and parents. Our coaches are putting a team together. If you would like to participate, bring a suit and we will figure it out. See you tomorrow!
A reminder to get signed up for all meets by Friday at practice.
C/D and Pentathlon sign-ups are underneath the Genesee sign-ups (you could still qualify for Sundays meets at the meet on Saturday).
We cannot run the meets without timers. Please step up to help out, especially with third shift timing if your child is swimming the IM.
Here are the links for signing up: Genesee, C/D meet & Pentathlon
**Important note about parking at Genesee- They have very limited parking at the Foothills clubhouse and even on the roads nearby. A great solution for those that need to drive (that’s all of us), is to park up on Foothills Drive (not blocking driveways, and be sure to park outside the white lines on the shoulder), and take the short trail/path down Wildflower Loop to get you to the pool. Here is a map of the trail for the cutover. **Be sure to park outside the white lines on the shoulder to avoid being ticketed.
**Practice on Monday is optional for all swimmers swimming at both meets this weekend to give them some rest. All upper-division atttending practice on Monday: practice will only be from 7:00-8:00am
