Swim A Thon Saturday October 18

Our annual Swim-A-Thon fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday October 18 at Penn High School.  Sometime in the next week you’ll receive an introductory email and how to set-up your account.

 

Fall and Winter Meet Schedule/Dates of Meet/Location/Deadline to commit

This is our meet schedule for the fall and winter. We may add meets if we find ones that fit our club’s needs or delete meets if there is not enough interest from our members. There will be two different dates listed with each meet The first date listed is the day(s) of the meet and the second date is the deadline to commit

 

Swimmers wanting to compete will need to commit to those meets. The deadlines will be based on deadlines that were set in previous years. They may change once the meet hosts posts the meet information. When committing to multiple day meets, if the option to select the days you want is not available, leave a message in the notes section stating the specific days you would like to attend. 

 

Meets marked with an * require swimmers to meet minimum time standards.  You can view all pool locations on our website under the "Pools" tab.
