Attached above is the entry list of swimmers currently registered for the upcoming meet. If your athlete is not yet signed up and would like to participate, please complete registration through our Swimmingly Clubhouse by 11:30 PM on Wednesday, June 18.
If you miss the online registration deadline, please email me directly. No additional entries will be accepted after 12:00 PM on Friday, June 20.
We strongly encourage all athletes to attend—Gold group swimmers included, even if you have morning practice. This is a great chance to experience the format of a prelim/finals meet, with a morning workout followed by an evening competition.

Summer Attendance & Meets
-
Swimmers in all groups may attend practice as often as they like—there are no attendance limits.
-
We’ll host additional swim meets at Life Time throughout the summer. Tentatively scheduled for: 6/20, 7/18 and 8/1
August Break & Development Opportunities
We observe a short break in early August (per the USA Swimming calendar) and will resume in September when school starts. This pause is critical to prevent burnout and support long-term development. During the break, we will offer:
-
Stroke clinics
-
Private lessons
Detailed information and registration links will be sent as we approach August.
Billing & Absence Policy
-
Because we maintain a highly flexible, unlimited-attendance program, we cannot prorate for summer vacations.
-
Families planning an extended absence (one month or longer) must submit a written request at least 30 days before the requested end date, in accordance with aquatics policy.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss practice plans for your swimmer’s summer schedule.
Summer Schedule- Starting Monday, June 16th
*Note: Some Silver swimmers may be invited to morning workouts on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Drop-Off Guidelines
-
All swimmers 13 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult when arriving on the pool deck.
-
Coaches will begin supervision 10 minutes prior to the scheduled practice start time and will continue through the end of practice.
-
Parents/guardians may leave once their child is within the 10-minute supervision window before practice begins.
-
Swimmers aged 13 and under must have adult supervision if they arrive earlier than 10 minutes before practice or choose to stay afterward to use the leisure pool.
-
Swimmers are not permitted to use the leisure pools before or after practice unless an adult is present.
These policies are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all our athletes. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
