đź’« Swim Meet Mentor Program
We’re excited to continue building our Swim Meet Mentor Program! This initiative pairs our younger swimmers with older, more experienced teammates to help them feel confident and supported at meets.
Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to be a mentor or a mentee—we love seeing so much enthusiasm and team spirit! As we get this initiative rolling, we’ll share more details about how to connect at meets and what to look for to make those mentor-mentee relationships meaningful and fun.
If your swimmer would still like to join as a mentor or mentee, you can add their name to the sign-up spreadsheet linked here.
Let’s cheer each other on and make every meet a great experience together! 💙
Team Shirts & Caps:
If you didn’t receive your team shirt last week, please reach out and let me know so we can get it to you. We also started handing out our new team caps at the November Intrasquad. If you didn’t get yours there, no worries — we’ll make sure they’re passed out at practices soon.
