Westside Meet, All-City 101, and Photos

Sarah Terry-Rost

Hello Sharks!

It's the most wonderful time of year - All City!!!  

But first, please make sure you have your sign ups in for the Westside Meet (our last dual meet of the season).  Deadline is midnight tomorrow!  Also, be sure to check out the photo stylings of Brian Crounse and Meghan Konopacki - there are great shots from the big kids Sunset Relay at Hill Farms and from the Shorewood Meet.  We so appreciate these wonderful volunteers!

So, back to All-City.  The Seminole Booster team wants to be sure you are as prepared and comfortable as possible as we head into All-City Swim and Dive.  You will find here our one-stop guide to All-City - "The All-City 101."  /recmlsptawi/UserFiles/Image/QuickUpload/all-city-swim-101-2022_045201.docx Please be sure to read through this carefully as it will help you prepare for the excitement ahead. 

Also be sure to note the rules and regs around the use of tech suits and review these links which provide details around approved and restricted suits.

You will start seeing daily updates as we get closer to "go time," but these guides should assist with your preparations.  In addition, we have assigned Booster Buddies for each age group. If you have a question that the "101" doesn't address or if you have an issue during All-City and need support, please don't hesitate to reach out to your age group Booster Buddy. A huge thank you to these folks for serving in this role!

Go Seminole!
