Time Trials
Time Trials is this coming Saturday! If you haven’t yet, please sign your swimmer(s) into or out of Time Trials by tomorrow (May 9th) at 5pm. For Time Trials, swimmers swim all strokes so that they can get baseline times for the season. Time Trials is also a great way for swimmers and families to get a feel for meets.
Swimmers don’t need to wear their team suit for time trials. They can wear a practice suit or a previous year’s team suit.
Sige food truck will be in our parking lot from 8:30am-11:30am, so bring your appetites.
Click here (and be sure you’re signed in to your account) to sign your swimmer(s) into Time Trials.
Meet Declarations
Swimmers must be declared into or out of meets one week in advance of the meet. Make sure your swimmer(s) are signed into or out of all meets.
Click here (and be sure you’re signed in to your account) to sign your swimmer(s) into and of out of meets. Please be sure to accept (or decline) for each swimmer for each meet.
