Saturdays meet: First home meet

Our summer swim season is off to a great start.  We are excited to host our fist dual meet this weekend.  A home meet means there are many volunteering opportunities.  If your child is swimming in the meet on Saturday we need you to volunteer your time and sign-up.  Here is the sign-up sheet for parent volunteers.  Please don’t be shy, we have all been a “newbie” at one time.  Thank you in advance for helping with your kids swim meet.

We have also post the “rough draft” to the Individual events.  Please double check this for accuracy and let the coaches know if there needs to be any changes.

We will see all your smiling faces at 6:00am on Saturday morning.
