- Signing Up: Find information about sign-up HERE. (Note: It is important you make an appointment for the required physical early on as these appointments fill quickly with athletes preparing for participation.)

- State will be held in Juneau this year.
- To participate in the first meet, all athletes must attend 10 practices (not including the day of the meet)

Any high school swimmer may opt to participate in our supplemental offering of 2 technique practices (Days and times TBD - likely one weekday and Saturday AM) and up to three weight room practices (Arctic Iron M/W/F @ 5:45 AM) each week. The cost is $100/month. You can sign up for the supplemental practice by emailing [email protected].
