Meet info for new families:

• Write your swimmer's name on everything - shirt, towels, etc.
• Swimmers are organized by age group in their “bullpens" under tents. A volunteer “Bullpen parent” is in charge of making sure that swimmers are lined up for their assigned events. They will walk the swimmers to the “holding area” where they will line up for their lanes.
• Please assist in making sure that your child stays close to the bullpen so they are easy to find and don't miss their event.
• What to bring: Swimmers need to bring plenty of water to stay hydrated in the heat, 2 towels (one to dry-off; one to sit on because they are in the grassy area), pair of goggles (or two in case they go missing or a strap breaks), swim cap (swimmers received a team cap), sunscreen, money for concession stand
• Each event is assigned a number and written on the child's arm. There is a board with event # displayed during the meet so you can keep track.
• You can access the assigned events on Swimtopia.

Upcoming events: Summer Practice Schedule begins on Tuesday, May 26th and we will have our Season Kick-off breakfast on Friday, May 29th. Calendar linked here
