  • Kit Club: 5:55 – 6:25 PM
  • Ages 4–8: 6:25 – 7:10 PM

🏊 Time Trials

We are kicking off our 60th Anniversary Season with Time Trials on Saturday, May 17. This practice meet allows swimmers to race every event in their age group, set baseline times, and get comfortable with how meets work. It’s also a great way to test our gear and answer questions before the season begins. Swimmer check-in is at 8:30 A.M. SHARP—arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 A.M. to get set up and ready to go!

📢📢📢 We Need Volunteers!

Without strong volunteer support, we cannot run the Time Trials (or any event!). Every role matters, so please sign up to help make this event a success for our team. Click HERE to sign up for a shift and declare your swimmer’s attendance. 

Bring sunscreen, goggles, towels (extra is always good!), sandals or flip-flops, snacks, and water to stay energized. Don’t forget cash for the snack bar and maybe a game between races!
