MSA Intrasquad #1 (Friday, August 15th)

Erin McCann

Dear Parents,

We’re excited to kick off the season with our MSA Intrasquad swim meet this Friday, August 15! This is a fun, low-pressure event designed to:

  • Introduce new families to how meets are structured

  • Help athletes experience race formats before their first sanctioned meet (SSA on Sept. 27th)

  • Give coaches and swimmers a baseline at the start of the season

Please note:

  • This meet is not sanctioned by USA Swimming and times will not be uploaded, however we will be using Meet Mobile so you will be able to see your swimmer's times (download the Meet Mobile app on your phone!!)

  • Athletes will swim all events assigned to their practice group—no sign-up or event selection needed.

Check-in & Preparation

  • All athletes must check in at the registration table on deck before practice.

  • For younger athletes, please write their name and practice group on their back in Sharpie before arrival.

  • Parents we will need timers to run the sessions, please be prepared to help out if at all possible. We cannot do this without you.

  • There will be no ST officials, so no DQs

  • Rule number one, cheer for all the athletes and have fun!
