Hello Swim Families, Warmups for the Sunflower Games will begin at 8:30 am on Saturday morning. There are no assigned lanes--we will group up and do something together, probably on the east end of the pool (the shallow end). The meet will begin with the 100 IM at 9:15 am. Swimmers may find myself or Coach Myles, though both of us are also racing tomorrow, so we have to warmup too! See you at the pool! -Coach Reid
