🚦OPT OUT DEADLINE

This Saturday we host Bridlewood for our last home meet of the season. If you will not be at the meet, please OPT OUT by tomorrow, Monday, July 13th! RSVPing is critical so that our coaches can plan appropriately and place swimmers in the events that best support both individual and team success. If you know your swimmer will be absent but do not opt out, their absence on meet day could jeopardize a relay team, potentially preventing three other swimmers from having the opportunity to compete.

🏅RIBBONS

If your swimmer competed in a meet, please look for ribbon boxes located near the clerk of course area at morning practice. Each family has a folder. Folders are labeled in alphabetical order.
