- Y State will be on January 25th! More information to come soon.
Most of our Winter meets are already posted on our website, so please check those out for more information!
In addition to these meets/events, I have had some requests in us hosting one more meet before Y State. If we are able to host, I think it would be best offered as a distance meet, where swimmers would be able to swim events that are not normally offered. This would include the 1650/1000 yard Freestyle, 400IM, and 800 Free/Medley relays. For 12&U swimmers, they would have access to the 200 IM, 500 Free, and relays.
Please fill out the following form to help me gauge interest and see if we have enough help to make this possible: https://forms.gle/EbDPXfBuxSNqeTie6
Update:
Winter break will be Dec 20th - January 1st! Our last practice of 2024 will be on Dec 19th, and we will have our first practice of 2025 on January 2nd.
